- There some rules you never break in Hollywood. One of them is to not talk thrash about an employer or co-star just after you’ve worked with them. It’s just bad form, and it could potentially destroy your career. That’s just what happened to Katherine Heigl who trashed the comedy flick Knocked Up in which she played a lead role.
Heigl’s career was at an all-time high. She had just won an Emmy Award for her work on Grey’s Anatomy and had made a smooth transition into a feature film. But an ill-fated interview with Vanity Fair changed everything for Heigl, and her career has not seen the light of day since. To find out more details about the interview that ruined Katherine Heigl’s career overnight, watch this video.

Do you agree with what Katherine Heigl said?
Nicki Swift you not gone post the REAL reason Hollywood stopped casting her?
I kind of agree with her, but I did enjoy those movies. I just don't know why she would agree to do a movie that she found offensive.
No she the one you play her character like that
Yes, but that’s the whole point of the movie.
Chess Dry what’s the real reason?
when katherine comes out calling that grey's anatomy set was toxic, everyone called her crazy and a traitor but now when ellen pompeo says it, she is strong.
like wtf.
@Lin K i am talking about a particular instance not about her as a whole.
in that instance, nobody believed her and called her dramatic.
i have always loved katherine and will always do.
Cinnamonbun....times have changed....now she won't be criticized...see marvel woman....but hey miht be taking things too far nowadays tho.
So true
I was thinking the same thing but I guess Ellen is probably the one driving the show so you can’t harm the driver or else you’ll crash 🤷🏽♀️
Ricky Nelson what? she should’ve sugar coat it? If I was the one in charge of that show, I would’ve definitely got to the bottom of why she said it. Confront the bih
Hmm. I wonder why trashing Twilight every chance he got, including while he was supposed to be promoting the movie, didn't have the same affect on Robert Pattinson's career.
Such an amazing comment!!!!
Cause he’s a good actor and she’s trash and she’s making the movie about something it’s not 😂
@FreeSpeech I think that calling someone you don't know trash as really silly. The point is it was incredibly unprofessional of him regardless of his acting abilities. And it speaks to double standards, which I cannot abide.
@@wifeofsauron1658 👏👏👏👏
maybe because everyone collectively hates twilight while everyone universally praises greys anatomy and holds knocked up to a higher esteem 🙄
I had no idea what happened with Heigl. From where I’m sitting she just had the guts to speak out and be self-reflective on her work and on her industry. Respect.
Exactly! Like what exactly did Saundra Rimes mean “ when people show you who they are”
She was being truthful in saying she didn’t think that her character did anything special to stand out for an award compared to the others and didn’t think it fair ,so Rimes takes it as a insult and writes her character off the show .. how petty . .. she is the one who showed who she was in her actions.
Same thing happened to TR knight who played George. He felt his character wasn’t go anywhere and so they killer him off .
Well, she's been good in a few shows, but she kind of ruined the suits. just overacting.I could have been the writers. e fault.Just couldn't watch that season(s)
She wasn’t wrong. And it’s cute that he sat at home waiting for her to call and apologize, rather than reaching out and saying, “Wow, I had no idea you felt that way!”
She's wrong
@@nickpenaranda725 no she wasn't edgelord
She wasn’t wrong??? Well, her career since speaks for itself, chief.
@@jjthehowlingwolf288 that's not how it works
Ikr. She was right on target. The guys are all rolly polly and baked. The female characters are portrayed like shrews. She was ahead of her time.
She was ahead of her time. She would have been praised if she said this now
Yeah, because feminists love to trash things that people find funny. They thrive off of it. If you portray a woman in any bad way at all, yall think that makes the movie sexist. That's why female characters in many movies nowadays are the boring "strong independent" types with barely any flaws at all, because screenwriters are too scared to write a woman with any flaws because people like you and the Twitter brigade feminists will shit all over it.
This is so true, when she said what she said, the world wasnt ready. Now all this sh** came out about greys anatomy and we know she was telling the truth about the bad energy and bullying on set
That 's what we call double standard. She herself enjoyed the money from movie. You don't crap where you eat!
@@dangerdan2592 kinda like the movie "Bad Moms" the main characters husband is supposed to be this lazy slacking cheating slob, and women audience gets to laugh their ass off, but if a woman has to act as the "bitch" the world has to stop because it makes women look bad and they rather complain than try to understand that it is just a movie
well she had a chance to tell that during the process. Her role could had been changed. It is not if she would or not get a reaction. It is if she would be able to create better role for herself. She did it in a way that helped nobody. The reaction might had been different, The results?!
she was talking about how one sided female roles are in hollywood and they labeled her ungrateful and traitor haha
nat , she is lucky to have even found work.
She read the script and still decided to do the movie. She also did a lot of improv and alterations to the script. So, she also contributed to the stereotypes that she then complained about. She made repeated choices to keep doing that type of story. She did the work, took the money and then complained about the job that she auditioned and agreed to do. That is ungrateful.
Juliana Silva , don't we all? But she isn't THAT special. A younger actress will replace her.
Rebecca Woodward , let her work as a floor mopper in a warehouse.
@@valuecalc idk what point you are trying to make. Do you think everyone in any job ever should just feel thankful to have work at all? Or is this specific about her and your dislike for her as an actress/person?
She was literally correct in that entire statement. Also: Shonda Rimes of all people has zero business judging anyone’s character.
No she wasn't. Knocked up was funny
@@kellymoses8566 it was sexist.
hollywood being sexist, and banning actresses for telling the truth? IM SHOCKED
😂😂😂
Honestly, being that dissatisfied with the character and still giving a good performance is a sign of dedication if anything
Any idiot could play a shitty character on screen for a massive pay-check lol

She's getting bashed for doing the same thing Robert Pattinson is doing.
Ancilla Diamante yes, this is sooo true. but he’s considered thoughtful and brooding
what is robert pattinson doing?
@@mabmainchannel right??? And he acts so damn proud of it like oh i hated twilight so much i regret it but katherine's stance is founded on better grounds idk why people are punishing her for it
@@solsahade1945 bashing his past projects and saying ugh i hated my movie etc
I hear a lot of actors bashing their own previous work every day, it seems thus ridiculous that this is the only reason that made her career slow down
Just goes to show how toxic Hollywood has always been, and the only time they pretend to be moral is when they think it will garner clout 😕
Having been called “difficult”, “a diva” and “a princess” in a few work situations - and now happily in a company that welcomes women, honesty and high standards - I can empathise with her. I don’t work in Hollywood, can imagine it would be tough because it’s a small misogynistic town and you can’t just go somewhere else.
@Joe ThuneNo one said that there weren't Divas of both genders in Hollywood. What the argument is here is that she was NOT being a "diva" but only offering her opinion.
Well, you probably are if so many people are saying that. Look into yourself.
@@aruglaempire2518 and you apparently have trouble reading since you read “a few” and equate that to “so many”. The nature of my work means I’ve worked in many places, across five different countries. My experiences have for the most part been very positive, marred only by a couple of macho twats who clearly had trouble taking orders from a woman, or being around a confident and assertive woman in general.
@@aruglaempire2518 No doubt. Even her response here reeks of being a difficult snowflake. She's probably insufferable.
@@aruglaempire2518uh no
She’s said she’s now somewhere where ppl welcome her strength so no more gaslighting
Standards. They kill most ppl cuz most ppl are lazy.
This is the best example of how the world can make anyone seem insane even if they’re doing the right thing
This is the perfect example when you follow the world you're caught up in idolatry and you will be charged of it in the end if you don't change your ways.
@@JediDrallig2 everything she said about how Isiah Washington was blacklisted and how Dempsey was jealous he was getting more fanmail was now proven right
Same thing happened to Leah Remini when she said Sharon Osbourne was racist , her like Katherine's career was ruined
But both were right
I think it's extremely chilling how much the media can make strangers hate other strangers over that they won't just suck up to studios if they see wrong doing on studio lots
Tom Cruise
Yeah.. You can't firm on one side of any story or thing now a days and that is good makes u be more neutral on complicated things
the *Media, not the world.
gives an honest opinion .
Hollywood: im about to end this women's whole career
She was biting the hand that was feeding her
@@claudemakelele2856 biting the hand that was feeding her?! Dude, she worked to feed herself. I absolutely utterly completely agree with her. From season 2, I started hating the charecter Izzy Stevens and it had nothing to do with the actress but the role she was acting. It's only natural that she felt the same way. You all calling her arrogant, but if a man did the same you would be calling him BALLER and GOAT or smh. The truth is, Heigl was bold and the world wasn't ready. It's not her fault, it's theirs.
Katherine Heigl is worth about $30 million. I don't have any sympathy for her.
Dumb broads watched greys anatomy.
No. It's kinda ungrateful. Noone forced her to do sht
She's amazing in Firefly Lane. I've always liked her. I'm glad she stuck up for herself. Keep doing you girl!
She was treated so wrong and honest in each thing she did. It wasn’t hypocritical. She probably was bothered by the next film as well but Actresses need to act to earn money. She probably just chose not to fight that battle again. Cutting off creativity is a terrible human trait.
She also probably experienced sexism on the SET. She was honest. I respect her for speaking out. She's a great comedian.
Exactly!
If that was the case she would have said after the backlash.
Kellie Rogers it was years ago is she did experience something it would have been hard to speak out but who knows it’s their drama
She read the script... She never had to do this movie. It is widely known for this movie she improvised a lot of her dialogue, she could have changed her characters portrayal. This was so early in Seths career (all he had was a minor role in 40 yr old virgin) that i believe she had a lot more power on this set than possibly others. Sethlanded a star in Heigl For her not to speak up more about this at the time but then later bash it is ridiculous.
She's not a comedian.She's an actress that's casted in comedies sometimes.
They pretty much proved her point about sexism by blackballing her for being candid.
You don't make a movie with people and then trash it later. Being candid would be not taking the role because you don't like the script.
@@GizmoMaltese Robert Pattinson has absolutely flamed twilight
@@rachelbelanger4726 everyone else agrees with him tho
@@connoranderson7432 I know but the author could have still had him fired him but didn’t
@@GizmoMaltese But you never know how the movie turns out and how the people are when you sign the contract. You only know that once you actually started working there. And if you don't like it then there is not much you can do since you signed a contract.
Honestly, Katherine Heigl is on point with her commentary. I am glad I watched this as a grown man but many young boys would probably get that same impression and the viscous cycle of sexism will continue.
Absolutely hit the nail in the head, it's great that someone can actually admit that these awards make zero reflection on the work done or quality of work for themselves, to me that's a genuine character and rare, she tells truths they don't want you to here, and let's face it the quality in this area is at an all time low but paying huge amounts, which they don't want upsetting, CGI is getting close to just about replace any actor, one day it will.
How does “I had a good time 98 percent of the time “ translate to she hated the entire movie an process ? Not what she said ? Like they live to twist woman’s words around
People love the negative
Exactly!
If she refused to act shrew-esque. They wouldn't have had shrew-esque footage to make a joke out of. All in all, at the end of the day. I believe that if you ask an honest person their honest opinion, you might find them to be brutally honest and you might not like it
Oh yes! They will twist everything as long as it makes them seem like a good guy! Seth was hurt that he found out later that she didn’t like the movie but she wasn’t allowed to be hurt by the way men portray women in movies. 😤
@@csilladevic9969 Ironically, she portrayed women that way with her "acting choices". I am sure if, Melissa McCarthy, or Rebel Wilson, or Amy Schumer would have been in that roll, the movie would have been hilarious, instead of just funny. She really is not a gifted comic actress. But a shrew, well, she nailed it.
What she said wasn't bad. Geez.
Naforbe I know! Do you have to like the movie you are in?! Are actors not allowed opinions??
@@tinabrown4260 I'm not going to do something I don't like there's no point.
America...land of the free with freedom of speech.
Maybe so..but not without consequence ~
True. Robert Pattinson did the same thing with his Edward Cullen character 🙄
What she said wasn't that bad, but it's still a job. And u can't really vent about your job in a public forum without consequences. Technically in my opinion what she said about the movie was true. But she could tell her friends or family that, not necessarily say it in a magazine article. It's still being unprofessional.
Waited for her to call and apology 😂😂😂
Chosen people for ya
I respect her now more than ever. She’s too sane for that crazy business.
For a woman, if you're honest and vocal but not complimentary, you're "difficult to work with" 🙃
This is the truth!
Or you’re called a “crazy feminist”
If you are an actor, you have the right to take or reject a job offer ...dont do it, take the money then trash it later...
Bingo.
@@newlife286 you also have the right to do your job and make great movie that many love and enjoy - even if you personally don't like it. Which is exactly what she did.
"Difficult reputation" is literally just being an honest person and speaking your mind. Wow.
Beccalotte1021 other than Seth Rogan so many directors and people hated working with her. Even before that interview she had a rep for being hard to work with. I wanna say her mom or her manager showed up to set and yelled at people and things of that nature. It’s pretty common knowledge that she even acknowledged it herself.
the world was different 10 years ago. so much has changed in litteraly the last 5 years that we mine as well be 100 years in the future
today she would actually be praised saying this and Judd Apatow would be cancelled until he supports or or apologized and she would be gettiong bigger projects off this
just like how Bill Murray bullied Lucy Liu Liu on set of Charlies angesl almost 20 years and everyone took Bill Murrays side on it, whooooo boooy if that shit happened today Bill murray would be lynched and Lucy Liu would be getting A list projects lol compeltly diferent world
yeah. If you speak your mind all the time regardless of who you hurt and how you are difficult welcome to adulthood millennial.
*a woman :(
@@badtelevision5482 that being said you are correct… Also these kids are stupid… She wasn’t speaking her mind… She was biting the hand that fed her… She read that script before she excepted the 5 million… Was in the biggest picture of the year and then bashed it publicly. She also hurt the writers by removing her name from awards consideration which is such a slap in the face to the people who are literally a slap in the face to those doing most of the work for you. She was thought to be difficult because she WAS. Hopefully now she’s learned and grown up. Just a shame she lost her entire 20s acting.... she could’ve been a huge star like Julia Roberts level. They loved her at first.
Idiot.
Let me say something.
Katherine Heigl deserved better!
After 10 years she is finally getting her career back but she still lost 10 years of what honestly should have been her best years (like she was the perfect age, absolutely gorgeous (she still is but she’s still aged because she’s human everyone ages so yeah she does look different even though she’s still beautiful) an absolutely amazing actress who could play any role)
She did NOTHING wrong. She spoke the truth. She stuck up for herself and her friends. She spoke out about all the things that everyone else was too scared to say. She was brave, and if she did what she did back then today (like if all of this was taking place right now in todays world) she would have been PRAISED for what she said, but instead she was labeled “difficult” and “ungrateful” and “rude” and was black listed by Hollywood. She spoke nothing but the truth and deserved better.
She’s a great actress despite her popularity!She really can act
Yes! Loved her in My Father, the Hero! I hated her career suffered due to her honesty
You saying “despite her popularity” as if there aren’t plenty of popular actors who are skilled at their craft
It didn't make me scratch my head. She was correct.
She was a kill joy in the movie but how is that sexist?
@@lucapulcina I think it was that she saw women mainly being typecast as exactly that- killjoys and ruiners of Male fun.
But she wasn't a kill joy in the movie. She was an adult with real responsibilities knocked up by a grown man baby. He changed. He grew up. The married couple compromised. Katherine's character actually doesn't have to change very much... she only becomes more patient. I thought the movie painted her as the ONLY character that actually had their shit together and everyone around her became better for it.
Actually @Big Red H..... The movie wasn't a box office hit but there are some series out there now like the one really don't know its name I think I saw it maybe once Where it has two women with a man and the three are living together and one woman wants to have a Child I think because things have changed in the world and stuff like this series is being aired is because people who are Gay/lesbian are trying to push that kind of entertainment thru. I still believe that more than 80 percent of people in the world are heterosexual and get annoyed at that kind of entertainment atleast 6 times out of 10.
I was scratching my head while reading that comment 😂
thank god the comments passed the vibe check. She deserves a comeback. Like Megan Fox, she was punished for just being honest about her work.
Megan Fox compared a Jewish man to Hitler. A man that ordered the death of 6 million Jews, some of whom were related to the director and producer of her hit films.
I've always liked her and her acting, this makes me like her even more! I want to see her on screen and in better roles.
@@lizmuschinski976 absolutely. It's sickening. What I think goes very much unacknowledged is the normalisation of creepy, uncomfortable, exploitative roles young female celebrities are expected to inhabit. Then when they grow up and god forbid realise those roles were creepy, uncomfortable and exploitative, the patriarchy tries to gaslight them that they were happy all along 🙄
Omgosh yes the whole Megan fox stuff!!
Yeah but unlike Megan, she can actually act.
She was in a netflix series Firefly lane m and she was great in it, i love her as an actress, funny how some people speak out and branded as brave and never affects their careers, but then others it does.
After watching her exit, I am reminded of 'Arizona's' last season. She spent most of it sleeping around and THEN coming up with the cabinet for maternity floors. It feels like they 'quietly quit' the character. I like watching KH. I've never met her but I think it would be cool. I wonder why George left, Callie, Derek, lexie, Jackson, and Karev. Especially karev. He was my favorite and I bawled when he narrated the letters. I can't help but wonder if the set is toxic
Her having a damn opinion as a woman should not end someone’s career. The cancel culture honestly sucked then and still suck now
Not cancel culture in her case. Mostly just hollywood ppl seeing she speaks out and that prob scared them so she didn’t get work.
she has the right to say whatever she wants, but If I was a hollywood producer, I too wouldn't want to hire a person who'll bash the project I hired her to work on
True ....but think about who really runs Hollywood - at the very top. It used to be guys like Harvey Weinstein and people like him. They literally could end anyone's career.
I dont think the opinion was the problem, it was taking the role in spite of her opinion, not voicing her opinion during the whole process and then waiting til it was over to bash the creators from afar.
Watch what you say, watch what others do. It is a known fact in hollywood.
Now I understand why Hollywood actors always give the same answer to every question which basically is : I'm so excited!
I know, right. They all look like a hostage [blink twice if you need help!!!] with the same deer caught in the headlights eyes and plastered on smile, reciting bland scripted responses. It's obvious why.
It's Hollywood do as they say think as they think liberal hivemind central
Honestly I hated her role in Knocked Up but reading her criticism about it made me both like and respect her. I do think the most candid thing would have been to talk to the team about her doubts. It's great that she's honest to the media but being honest to your co-workers while being in the process would be even better.
I have a feeling that the true reason for blacklisting her was not what she said about the films/roles/series.
She did not agree to renegotiate her contract (Grey's Anatomy 2008) and also she exposed producers for treating actors and film crew as slaves/half-slaves/prostitutes. (17h shift).
Her "controversial" comments were just excuses for trashing her later on.
What she said was 100% true, but you're not supposed to say those things until years later as it can affect the box office!
Stef Ok oh shit we would hate to effect a billion dollar company and their millions. . Get a grip
But she is inconsistent, she does not like that type of roles, then in that case don't take that role to begin with. And after that just like that video says she took another role that was similair, so she continued with it. She took a giant shit on a plate that she just a big meal.
@@firstlast9788 - many times actors and actresses arent really given the choice. You choose if you've made it. Many times, depending on their contracts, the agency that represents them chooses for them.
She knew what the role was when she took it. It's funny how money can speak volumes at the time but after you spend it you decide the role was demeaning. If that's the case, give the money back.
She took the role, she took the paycheck.
She would be backed up by everyone if she said it today.... seriously hollywood owe her an apology!
Hollywood is grimes, they pretend to grandstand for liberal ideals but it’s business as usual most of the time.
We do too. Personally I ignored it because I had a feeling that she was just being honest. However, hollywood backlisted her, treated her like shit and so many of us hopped on board and cancelled her because how dare a woman speak her mind? (sarcasm). I know its been a while, but now that the tide i has turned a bit and Ellen has come out and said the same thing, I hope she will get more work if we stand by her.
That’s not a good thing. Today is nuts
EXACTLY!!!!!
I was pregnant with my youngest when knocked up came out- we won tickets to an early viewing of the movie and I was ginormous pregnant and supposed to be on bed rest- but we went. We hadn’t been able to agree on a name at all until that night. I read the young ladies name tag out loud at the concession and me and her dad looked at each other and said that’s it- ❤
That's an amazing story. Can I ask what was her name? ☺
I always liked her as an actress but my respect for her grew 100 % after this. She is brave enough to speak her mind and say if she doesn't like the final product.
Looking at this 10 years later, her comments about the movie do not seem that bad. I think the worst thing she did was loudly withdrawing from the Emmys with a complaint about Grey's Anatomy that she had not been given Emmy worthy material. That was unnecessary and biting the hand that feeds you.
I don't agree with her for rejecting an Emmy nomination(although of course that's her choice)because I think she was awesome as Izzy Stevens. I can't believe she was in "The Bride of Chucky?
Mary Smith That’s what I remember.....It was her Greys Anatomy comments.
Yeah that was shitty, that statement was so unnecessary
That is so pompous and mean to the writers!
Some guys like really mean girls but apparently not her boss.
Jesus Christ, all she did was be honest about here feelings and introspection on her work and experience, I guess that's the antithesis of Hollywood success.
And why would anyone hire her if she's just gonna shit on everyone involved within a year. Extremely unprofessional.
Exactly. Evidently, she wasn't fake enough for Hollywood. Shame on her, right? 🙄
Hopefully she comes back. Seems like Hollywood is changing for the better now.
by shunning her they actually proved her right lmao
@@viktormaitland1023 what?
I completely agree with what she said. The portrayal of women angered me when I watched that movie, I couldn't believe it was so successful.
People forget that acting is her JOB. She's not the character she plays on screen in real life, and although being paid to pretend she liked the job while on-screen, she was in fact being a real person and expressed her opinions off the clock.
This what all the fuss was over? I thought she had done something more egregious than this. Hmmph
basically the way every video is headed on this channel.
Next week robert pattinson's dark past... he used to use only 8w lightbulbs!!!! OMG!
and he's Gorgeous!
Neeshpeesh1234 it was how she acted on Greys anatomy that earned her a reputation for being difficult. Shonda Rhimes wasn’t having it and cut her. Heigl says she regretted it
This wasn't the only thing. It just tipped the scales. Her delivery was very blunt. She came across as snooty and ungrateful. It was a huge opportunity to be in a movie and perhaps transition from TV to movies. Netflix and CZcams weren't around. Being on TV was cool but you didn't have nearly as much clout as a movie actor.
If she spoke about how the role was a bit stereotypical and sexist today she'd be given the lead in the next blockbuster. She'd be labeled "brave". Although only a handful of years ago, it was a different time.
It's not what you say, it's how you say it that matters.
K Labeck yea I get it
I find her honesty refreshing especailly in a town where everyone lies their asses off about age etc. Good for her I wish more celebs would tell the truth.
I don't think people lie anymore. After covid, everybody became very honest. I think we can make her come back.
Honesty? You mean hypocrisy? If she was honest, she wouldn't accept that project.
@@rsoe9158 idiotic reply who the hell knows or can predict what anything will be like until you start doing it
@@DA90027 are you dvmb? Actors get their scripts before filming so she knows what the story of the film is going to be before it hit the big screens.
@@rsoe9158 There it is. "I'm going to play an irresponsible bimbo who gets knocked up in the movie Knocked Up and complain because it made me look shallow and silly."
"And also Seth Rogan gets to play some lovable goofy guy. I just don't get it."
You're an actress. This is your job. You mean you don't understand the concept of a comedy?
"Yeah, I mean I don't get it. Why am I being portrayed as silly when Seth gets to be portrayed as silly? It's just not fair. Stupid double standard."
So sad. They treated her just like her role in knocked up...like she was the problem. So really, the industry proved her theory.
It’s the ‘pretty, smart & opinionated girl affect’. If you’re pretty, people don’t like it if you have a brain and point out real issues. They know you’re right but they don’t respect you enough to change anything. I’ve had this happen to me SO MANY TIMES. I say something, it’s ignored and you get looks. Another person says the same thing a while later. All are onboard. It’s a phenomenon that’s been driving me insane all my life.
I totally agree, her character was so unlikeable in that movie. It makes me like her more knowing she said that now
yeah...because girls are NEVER like that in real life.
@@hollycharles7064 it's a damn ROLE, it's funny how she took the money then after, decided the role was demeaning to women. Men are portrayed as dogs all the time in movies and women think it's hysterical. Double standards work both ways. And by the way, I'm a woman.
beatrice rague but they weren’t portraying all women to be that way, just the few in the movie, who were related and likely to have similar traits
It's a movie they have unlikable characters. If every character was likable movies would suck.
@@hollycharles7064 Nobody said women were like that all the time. But some of them ARE like that at least some of the time. It's not like Seth Rogan's character was portrayed as perfect either. Funny how it's only a problem when we're talking about female characters.
When SNL brought out their “every female lead in a male driven comedy” weekend update character it made me think about how she was dragged so badly for pointing out her character issues in Knocked Up. If she said this now, she’d be praised for what she said. It sucks. Not saying she’s a saint, because there’s proof that she wasn’t wholly professional on some sets, but she should not have been trashed as bad as she was for what she said about Knocked Up.
I think there was some other reason why they blackballed her. she is a wonderful actress.
Literally every American actress now trashes her own role if she's not playing a strong independant Mary Sue 🙄. Heigl was only stating facts but they hated her for being right too soon.
I've seen her work and she is being held unfairly to a double standard. Women should be able to comment on story and character honestly when it suits them. Katherine is just too strong a woman for these men's bruised little egos.
Well said.
yeah men like shonda rhimes need to wake up
@Joe Thune Internalized misogyny!
“These men”? Did you actually watch the video? 🤣
@Joe Thune Tons of woman have internalized misogyny in order to stay within society's compartmentalization.
Wow this actually aged really well. If she said that today, she’d be a hero
She'd be a hypocrite, don't star in a movie if you're just gonna talk crap about it.
@Mystic Editor this was not her being a Karen tho. she was actually being honest and was literally right lol. its just that most ppl aren't brave enough to say that shit publicly.
@@aya-_-3045 but that's what calling someone a Karen is. You're dismissing any valid point they may have been making, pretending it's all some cranky woman just being a b*tch. Has no one ever noticed there is no male equivalent to "Karen"?

@@aya-_-3045 if she was really honest, she wouldn't accept that project and take the paycheck from that project. She's a hypocrite for taking that project and the paycheck.
does it ever cross your mind that someone has had their words misunderstood ?
we are not always prepared for the perfect response ,when pressed for time,
impatience, fatigue, incorrect reporting counts for a great deal,
could we just admire the work and inspiration such professionals give us ?
Katherine deserved to be championed for speaking her truth about her experience as a female lead in a Hollywood movie. Seth could have respected her more for that and been more opened minded to learning from her experience, but instead chose to participate in the negative backlash.
She seems to have has this experience in more than one production...maybe she should look at how she comes across.because she's the common denominator
She does seem to be consistent, in expressing her feminist opinions. Brava!
Sad you don't get it@@gabriellewilder501
Don't get why she got thrown under the bus for that, it's true, she got done dirty
How dare she tell the truth.

@@Dancestar1981 they're held to different rules than men in Hollywood
hmm, I understand. maybe her mistake was that she let it done to her? and she told it later? when she should've spoken up right on the spot?
One day we will look back at what she said and be proud of her. Well, not everyone, but a good amount. She struggled with the character and still gave a good performance. I think she's pretty awesome.
She did absolutely nothing to be proud of. Moving your lips is nothing special to do.
I was proud of her at the time!
@@ThisisFerrariKhan Oh, Ferrari, so you do not think that SPEAKING OUT can be a courageous act?
@@michellelekas211 If you're genuinely asking and not being sarcastic, the answer is yes sometimes it is the BEST thing to do is to not speak out.
@@ThisisFerrariKhan I am NOT being sarcastic, but am definitely surprised here. You suggest that women NOT speak about mistreatment and I think we have seen a score of horrors throughout history and especially recently because of this "Hush Hush" sentiment...
People just love to hate strong, intelligent and beautiful women that disagree with them/say no to them.
she said how she felt and then everyone was suddenly so offended and literally expecting her to go "oops, silly me, i was just on my period". so dumb
She has integrity & was bashed for it. This world is a scary place!!
The world truly is a scary place now, integrity and truth are being controlled (especially on social media)
So being honest makes your career sink and sexual assault accusations, homophobia doesn't?
it's the misogyny
Yeah, honestly homophobia, racism and hate speech against minorities is normal 😔 as a part of the lgbtq community i know it, i think we are devolving instead of learning from our past
Not disputing if its true or not but it was hilarious when she then did the ugly truth
@Democ Rats why u quoted that?
@@lieford9118 Yeah, all that misogyny she experienced on that set with a woman show runner and a woman star.
She literally didn’t like her characters and gave good reasons why, yet still did the roles. Most of us works jobs we are happy about to survive and we’re still vocal about the fact we don’t like it .. what’s the difference..
This woman deserves her flowers. Hollywood is still very much a boys club and women who speak up are branded as “difficult”. Things are slowly changing for the better. A lot of work to be done, though.
I really agree with Katherine. I think when she said that her role in gray´s anatomy was not enough, she meant that Izzy's ending was actually the most stupid and illogical, and yes! It's true, Izzy's ending is so silly, She just leaves, without showing any drama like the other characters (Derek, Mark or Lexie) who have a very dramatic ending.
I quit watching Izzy was gone. I couldn't stand Meredith. Big whiner.
I think ppl r just sensitive about everything now a days..... she didn’t like her role why does she need to be ostracized for voicing her opinion
ohhireneexo yeah its silly to the rest of us. But I think its because she offended white males in power or people in power. If you have worked long enough...you know that ppl tend to be fired and or blackballed as a result. People are petty. But bosses are worst smh.
She didn’t have to take the acting job if she thought all those negative things about it
She took the job??? Collect your $$ and STFU
@@marialewis6432 I hope you never complain or are dissatisfied with your job then. Take the $ and STFU yourself.
Because she was hired and payed to portray that person. Not shit on the entire thing in a year. That just unprofessional.
Damn, the woman had an opinion. Seth Rogan and Judd Apatow aren't wrong for disagreeing, but they're both over-sensitive punks for turning on Heigl
how is/was this a "cancellable" statement? it was a valid, offhand criticism of the writing behind a comedy movie. that was taken and hyped as some sort of deep critique and hatred for rogan when it was really: "i had an ok time making an alright, yet flawed movie with sometimes questionable writing/directing" its hollywood, its acting - cant all be multimillion dollar oscarbait. and the fact that they took this so seriously and actually punished her for this; is a clear indication of a time before metoo (not that this doesnt still happen today if you have the wrong opinions, have said the wrong thing, or are on the wrong side of a powerful man/woman/corp.)
I love her - and even more so now. She took a stand for these antiquated and sexist stereotypes in movies. But during the time - that's all there were so yeah - she did ugly truth because she still needs to work. And come on - I used to like Shonda rimes but seriously? It's her choice on whether she thinks her role and content and performance deserves to be up for an Emmy. And low and behold we now know Grey's anatomy is and has always been a hot mess environment to work in.
I actually didn't care for her until this false "scandal." She is brave.
They did a whole documentary on this! As to how men direct women to be these 1d characters. This is the perfect example of misogyny. She acted the way they wanted her too. And she is dead on for her greys anatomy role. I used to like izzys character but they honestly made her character crazy. Falling in love with a patient then he dies. She starts dating Alex, but still has an affair with a ghost. Turns out to be cancer. Like come on! It was a crap season of writing
Sleeping with her married best friend takes the cake on her character! Her and George were a huge mistake!
People forget how often actors improv their lines...
It's weird cause I actually liked her performance in the movie knocked up O.o. Rogans character did some dumb stuff and I thought her character reacted fine. A single character in a work of fiction should in no way paint an entire gender to be the same, and if it does, that's on the individual who sees it that way to sort it out.. I've seen plenty of male characters in movies that are 'toxic' but realize its fiction #1 and #2 it isnt a real representation of men.
These characters, whether male or female, are fake and we shouldn't look at them as a actual depiction of real people. It's not that serious.
Whats the docu??
@@Lisamariee161 And don't forget that she technically kills Denny...bizarre. Oh, and remember the surgery on the Deer?
@Joe Thune Women can also be sexist and hard on women, just as oppressed groups can be self-hating. It's called internalized sexism, racism, homophobia and it is extremely common unfortunately
I remember hearing all this negative stuff about her, but listening to what she actually said in the interview, it isn't bad at all. It must be really hard to not be able to be authentic in an interview. To just have to fluff everything up, and have nonsense answers to questions that are politically correct so they don't get you censored and cancelled by a society that can't handle real thoughts and opinions anymore.
she literally trashed a movie she was in where she did nothing but read the lines which she knew of before they started filming its bad for bussiness . imagine you own a restaurant and one of waiters go outs and talks about they dislike the food publicly. would you want to hire them if you were another’s restaurant ?
She basically said I want to be the fun one, and that ended her.
No, she also shitted on her Grey’s Anatomy gig in public... Basically, her habit of “keeping it real” ended up biting her in the ass
In the grand scheme of things, who really gives scrap about these idiots that are legends in their own minds.LOL😲😲
LOL
EXACTLY! in most classic Katherine comedies, she loves playing nerdy and frigid, but generally quirky/fun loving peeps (Killers, Ugly Truth, Life as we Know It {where in one scene she ironically tells Josh Duhamel "your such a killjoy"}, etc.) but Knocked Up, while shes good in that movie as she usually always is (i love her so much), theres so many lines/scenes that I can imagine her having a hard time delivering/cringing at (the car scene where she calls Pete/Paul's character an asshole for wanting to hang out with his friends THEN talks shit about Ben/Seth's friends, etc.). I didnt have a problem with her character Allison, I liked her, but I can get why Katherine felt the way she felt. Plus, she said she loved working with everyone on the movie, she just couldnt stand portraying what was, in her a opinion, a buzzkill.
I think she's right.
Of course she was.
No one forced her to do the film!
@@debbiepeter112 needing to be employed did?
@@pcverma3631 Then you do the film, promote it and shut up. Simple.
@@debbiepeter112 No shutting up about your feelings isn't a part of the job description.
Given what is coming out about Hollywood now, I suspect there is more to the story about her declining the nomination. Good for her.
I think she's being honest and I commend her for it. I see nothing wrong with her comments at all. She said "98% of the time it was an amazing experience" so.....what's bad about that? People just drive me crazy ~~ everyone's so damn sensitive about anything anymore.....get over it and move on.....
Right it’s like she was in an interview, I don’t know the context of the question but if they were asking her for her opinion on the role then why are they mad that she gave it? 🥲
It’s kind of weird that no one likes her when she’s saying half of the stuff these new Hollywood comets are saying now in their me too movements
That's why nobody likes them either
Hollywood doesn’t want actors exposing the truth about them so when they do like Katherine did, they dissed her
Years ago she was on the opera show getting interviewed by oprah and She talked down about the popular Roswell series she was once on. which sounded disrespectful because it had a lot of fans. It was distasteful because I was a fan from that show happy to see her interview, but she sounded like it was beneath her. It was tacky.
"difficult reputation" is insane. No, difficult was Christian Bale screaming at everyone on the set of batman.
When you say what you're actually thinking rather than what people want to hear......
Yup. Free speech and all that until it's a woman that's saying their opinion and men doesn't agree/it doesn't suit them.
@@humankaleidoscope4989 so true!!! preach

She was right, those movies were crap. Terrible storyline. Pointless TV.
I mean..... she took em
@@3rdgenbobby962 I was saying, she's a clown.
@@3rdgenbobby962 Gotta eat
If she said that today, she would be Queen of Stan Twitter.
Robert Pattinson continuously trashed His character in Twilight WHILE MAKING THE FILMS. Same for Kristen Stewart. Why were her lines so shocking ? I mean yeah, she could have refused to take the job or the money but overall she can express her opinion about it.
I’m sad that she was so stressed about it that she had to seek therapy. I remember having long term anxiety over a situation and it sucks so bad.
All I can say, is that I was looking for her throughout the whole next season of Grey's Anatomy. Liked her bubbly character a lot. She had to play some deranged things, but pulled off everything. The writer(s) of Grey's Anatomy deserve a spanking, in my opinion.
They let so many good actors disappear already, that you started to be fond of and subsequently really miss.
I feel like on the one hand, I don't think her comments were inappropriate because she didn't _have_ to do the movie, and clearly didn't complain while on set or improvise anything that would make the character more to her liking, so obviously everyone's going to be confused when you turn around and say something like that. It feels like it's coming out of nowhere. And the Emmy comment was just tactless.
On the other hand, it's just not that serious, and I get the feeling she is just not wording things exactly how she means them. I doubt her and Seth Rogan ever had a "feud". The tabloids take one off-handed comment and run with it. It's terrible, and I feel bad for her having to go to therapy for the stress.
I'm just now watching Greys Anatomy her scenes with Denny the patient she fell in love with and married were amazing.....great actress.
Izzy didn't marry Denny. She was his fiancee for about 5 hours.
That scene made me so mad.
Even if she improvised for a lot of it, she still plays a character. She can’t be a strict up tight character and then the next episode become a strong character who’s still care free and an amazing electric guitar player all the sudden with no explanation
Why not?
@@carissafisher7514 lol huh 🤔
Yeah she could hardly improvise "dude let's go smoke a joint and get tacos". She was still bound in by her character being who they were, a Type-A, highly-strung career woman. That's the character that was written while Seth's got to smoke weed and be this chill dude. It's annoying that Judd Apatow didn't see her point. I like his films but don't dig the misogyny
Exactly anyone who knows the process of making a movie knows that was a bullshit answer. You can improve a tiny tweak here or there, or add a joke, but you're not going to change the actual script (plot, characterization, character arc). To even pretend you can is so shitty of Seth. Coward without a backbone who can't handle being told his writing for female characters was subpar.
@@slushpuppie19 yeah when he said she improvised half the time she was probably so fed up with the script and the character she had to play, she was probably trying to make her character at least somewhat likeable or relatable because most likely she was just supposed to act like a stick in the mud to make the male character shine.
I'm relieved to see that the top comments are supportive of her. But she still should not have had to deal with this bull or be called "difficult" for stating basic facts about the misogyny of the material she was working with! Smh.
What she said about knocked up was just bloody stupid and hypocritical. Not long after she did a movie that was sexist toward women,well,um,in Katherine's eyes it would have been. Knocked up is a comedy movie Katherine. It bloody comedy!
She was brave to stand up and Express her opinion & it pissed off the pampered elite. So they turned around and tried to black ball her, problem is; she's talented & said the truth. They need to get over it. They know who they R. She is awesome in Suits!
They tried to pull a Mo'Nique on her! It's dirty pool. Now all their shows are in the dumpster called Netflix! It's called KARMA! I'm not defending anyone in particular but the bullied & stepped on. Hollywood has done it for decades & ppl have wised up and not drinking the koolaid! LMAO
A lot of artists hated their previous work and it didn’t destroyed their careers at all. She is hated for some reason.
It’s because she’s a woman. This wouldn’t happen to a man over what little a thing she said to was
Mewesical You are so right because at the same time Robert Pattinson was constantly throwing shit at the Twilight movies and no one said anything about it...
@@ambrerongione4554 yes!
Ambre Rongione everyone hated twilight and everyone knew that. Just a strategy. People watched it for fun cuz it was too dumb.
@@JMV1616 well not entirely even before this shit she was known as a diva and hard to work with. Being late, not showing for stupid petty reasons, refusing to come out of her dressing room or trailer if they didn’t give her what she wanted or didn’t get her the right snacks or food and would hold up production for hours and wasted thousands in doing so. And her mother is known to be a diva on set with her too acting the same way and making outlandish demands and screaming/yelling at movie staff as if she was the boss and it was her project when she wasn’t even the star of the show or movie itself. There’s way more to the collective hatred of her than just the fact she’s a woman. That’s a part of it but there’s a lot more shit she’s guilty of as well.
People particularly hate when a beautiful women has something intelligent to say.
I'm with her, I hated that movie and have never watched it since
Okay why would anybody care if she said she hates the character or doesn't agree with the movie? Obviously not every actor and actress is going to agree with every role they play. Nobody has a right to take that opinion from her
I just think it sucks that she can't express her true feelings without getting all the drama and backlash from it. She is a great actress and she is entitled to feel what she feels. She gave Great performances and that's all that matters.
Maybe because she's toxic? No one in their right mind would want her on their set do one thing to anger her like actually having to put in the hours many films and television shows require and she cries abuse
The things that the knocked up producer said literally proved her point...
you're referring to judd right? well, i don't think he proved her point. he just said that he didn't know she felt like that. thats basically all he said. he wasn't being dismissive of what she said, just that he had no clue about her thoughts/feelings about it. seems like katherine never communicated what she felt directly with the him nor the cast on set, hence why the confused reaction to her remarks in the interview after the movie came out. plus the media blew what she said out of proportions, because she wasn't trying to disparage anyone, as some are saying, just her giving her opinion about her work but she still had a good time with crew from knocked up as she stated
Your Hollywood career ends when you refuse to be a hypocrite. Respect to all honest actors!
This was so long ago I likely would not hold anything against someone starting out in their career . When Kathrine Heigl started out in a little T.V. series in early 2000's known as "ROSWELL" she had made comments back in the day about not liking much about that series as well.... maybe she is just one of those people that views her own work critically instead of embracing the positivity. Even though her colleges in the series went on to say positive things about their experience in "ROSWELL" and a few went on to have success in T.V. , film, and studio work.
