Moore, 34, shared that she and Valderrama, 38, met at a photo shoot for a teen magazine when she was 15, and noted that she had “never French-kissed a boy.”
“He was like my first, real, true boyfriend,” said Moore.
When Moore heard Valderrama’s interview 12 years ago on the Howard Stern Show, she was “hurt” and called the actor to address his false claims.
“I remember in the moment, he like tried to explain it away that sort of he did get caught up and he maybe insinuated more than actually like outright said it. I was like, ‘No, you outright said it,’ ” she shared.
“I was like, ‘Why would you ever talk about that to anybody? And lie about it, first of all?’ ” said Moore, who said the pals don’t “talk about it now.”
Though the moment was hurtful to Moore, she said that she’s “moved past it now.”
“I mean, this was 2005,” she said. “We’re not that close, but we’re friendly.”

Moore shared that the former couple has “some mutual friends” and they’ll “see each other around every now and then. He came to my house a couple months ago. I had some friends over.”
“He’s a good guy, he really is,” Moore said of her ex.
According to Stern, Valderrama called and asked that the interview be taken down.
“I don’t even know if I have the story right, but I think he called up and was like, ‘Can you guys not air that anymore?’ He felt real bad about it because I guess you weren’t the only one who gave him a call after that interview,” said Stern.
“I think he learned a valuable lesson that day,” said Moore.
