\u201cI happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better,\u201d the \u201cA Simple Favor\u201d actress\u2019 alleged text read.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you.\u201d<\/p>\n
