‘Humiliated’ Jaclyn Smith exposes ex-husband Roger Davis’ affair in bombshell memoir

Jaclyn Smith revealed that her first husband, actor Roger Davis, cheated on her with their real estate agent in her new memoir, “I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie.” In the book, the “Charlie’s Angels” actress recalled learning about the affair two years into her and Davis’ marriage from Laura’s husband, Bill, after he tried to make a pass at Smith. Smith, now 80, said she confronted Laura, who came clean about the affair.

Davis suddenly appeared in front of the group, Smith recalled, and told Beatty that his then-wife couldn’t be in his movie because she only did commercials. Smith later learned from Laura that while she was chatting with Beatty, Davis was upstairs having sex with Laura in the apartment.

She’s always coming on to me, but of course I’m not sleeping with her,” Davis allegedly told Smith. “You know, Bill probably wanted to sleep with you, and this is their game.” Ultimately, Smith decided to stay with Davis.

And some truths must be seen to be believed.” She added, “My options were to leave Roger then, after only two years of marriage, and feel humiliated by my own naïveté, or to give the man I loved the benefit of the doubt and hope I’d made the right decision. I chose the latter.” However, the couple’s marriage fell apart two years later, when Smith found Davis in bed with another woman on their fourth wedding anniversary. Smith and Davis were married from 1968, the same year they met, to 1975.
