CLOONEY & HATCHER: DENY. DENY. DENY.

George says he isn't the bad guy who hurt Teri.

As one TW reader believes, Teri is just happy that her plan worked and she now has more publicity!

George Clooney and Teri Hatcher have both responded to Page Six's claims that Clooney was the "mystery man" who broke Teri's heart.

George says: "It is to Teri's credit that she's telling a very courageous story to help others," Clooney says. "As for the tabloid part of the story, she would never say that. I know the story is attractive but it isn't true and it takes away from her brave decision."

Hatcher says: "It is truly a shame that the importance of the issue in the Vanity Fair article is being obscured by tabloid sensationalism," Teri says. "[The paper] has twisted this story into a scandalous report about my personal life, which has nothing to do with George Clooney."

Aww Clooney, you big hunk. We knew you were a good guy!! Although, I'm not sure if Teri's statement truly denies he is the guy. Hmmm....
