Neal McDonough clarified his comments about losing “everything” due to his no onscreen kissing rule during a joint interview with his wife, Ruvé McDonough. “We are so fortunate. Everybody that talks about all that stuff that happened all those years ago and if it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t be here," the actor shared

“We want to say thank you, Hollywood,” McDonough’s wife, Ruvé Robertson, said during a joint interview with TMZ on Thursday. “I don’t like how people are saying that Hollywood turned its back on Neal. No, it didn’t. The right people found Neal and put him in the right place.”

Neal McDonough claims he was blacklisted from Hollywood after refusing to kiss other women on-screen, citing moral boundaries and commitment to his wife.
