What Jerry O'Connell said to ex Giuliana Rancic during awkward gym run-in after her memoir diss - Page Six

On Kelly Ripa's "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast on Monday, actor Jerry O'Connell described how he deliberately annoyed his ex, Giuliana Rancic, during chance encounters at Equinox gym.
O'Connell said that rather than avoiding awkward run-ins, he would walk "nose to nose" with Rancic and pretend to flirt with her in an over-the-top voice, telling her things like "I miss you" and "Do you have the same number?"
He recounted that the behavior irritated Rancic, who would respond with lines like "Go away. Stop it," and admitted the more it annoyed her, the more he leaned into the act.
O'Connell and Rancic, a reporter, dated between 2003 and 2004 before their split.
In her 2015 memoir "Going Off Script," Rancic alleged that O'Connell broke up with her over an intercom, quoting him as saying, "Nope, sorry, homegirl. Things change, but you take care, OK?"
During the podcast, O'Connell acknowledged he doesn't recall his exact wording from the breakup, addressing the long-standing claim more than a decade later.
