And although Brangman revealed Eastwood never asked for his consent to speak publicly on the accident, admitting, "I don't think he handled the situation properly," the 61-year-old has come to a better understanding of Eastwood's intentions.
"I was angry—but everybody grieves differently," Brangman continued. "You know, he's a kid, too. I didn't know what his grieving process is—I'd like to get to know more of what he went through. Because that's a difficult thing."
According to Brangman, Scott and Jewel split six to nine months before her 2014 death. Jewel's father filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Honda, the airbag manufacturer and the rental company of the 2001 Honda Civic she was driving. The 26-year-old was one of 11 people who were killed by the since-recalled airbags.
In his GQ interview Eastwood told the magaine, "I've lost friends before; I've lost some great friends. But, I had never lost someone I had been really intimate with. Maybe it's made it harder for me to date."
