exactly. remember when Charlie Sheen bashed his writers and didn't get fired and totally wasn't forced to do another sitcom? Why are men just allowed to speak however they want to their bosses but not women? That female writer on Grey's Anatomy is obviously just a sexist. Women should be allowed to say and do anything with zero consequences. Consequences are sexist.
I'm gonna be 100% honest and say I don't think Katherine Heigl is that bad. She may be insensitive and blunt with her phrasing, but she has strong opinions and is honest about them. She's candid about her own mistakes as well, which is pretty brave. I also think a lot of the things she's said are right (especially regarding Knocked Up's sexism). Her ego may need to be knocked down a peg or two but her reputation didn't deserve to crash the way it did. God forbid a beautiful woman has a mind of her own.
Whenever I hear one Hollywood insider talk about another, it's usually so overflowing with praise and dripping with honey that it's ridiculous. I agree with you. It sounds like the fault everyone found with Heigl is that she DIDN'T do that.
It also sounds like she was maybe a little bit of a diva though. And also she's right about the sexism but did she have to take the role then? Maybe that just has to do with the kinds of roles their were for women when she was doing movies, but still
Everything Katherine Heigl says about Knocked Up is 100% right! And the whole world needs to stop giving that garbage film love, attention, and obsession now! Knocked Up doesn't deserve those, ever!!! It deserves hate and criticism it gets!
“Restore her reputation”? You’d think she’d said something racist. From what I can make out she said 2 things: 1) her part of on Grey’s was underwhelming, and 2) Knocked Up depicted women as killjoys and men as loveable goofballs (true) For this she gets blacklisted? Wow, men get away with so much worse.
She didn't even say that Grey's was bad, or her part was bad that season - just that it felt like other actresses/parts were more deserving that year. Sure, maybe it could have been better worded to make 100% clear that was her point, but that alone shouldn't have become the circus it did. The trouble is so much of the media these days profits/survives on shock and drama, so they play this crap up as more than it is to whip up more interest and create bigger/ongoing stories/get themselves exclusive headlines -I bet there was a 'Shonda speaks out' piece about it that just kicked it all up

Good grief, that was 10 years ago. Give her a break. Nothing she said was actually incorrect, she was absolutely right about Knocked Up. She just spoke up for herself, not her fault if it was so poorly received. Greys Anatomy is not the best show on earth either, so can everyone just back off and give her some good material to work with? When a man speaks his opinion he is applauded, if a woman speaks her opinion she is "difficult to work with". Bloody hypocrites.
you work as a waitress at a small restaurant where the owner is the cook. you smile and act like everything is fine in her face, but badmouth about the service and how the food is actually bad and disgusting. words got out, less customer, less money for both of y'all. now is that "stating her opinion" or just being plain stupid and ungrateful?
tenerife sea but if the food is bad, then it’s bad. My only problem with her is how she smiled and faked her way through the movies only to talk smack about them later. I think her comments are spot on but she should have shared them in private with the crew and maybe requested certain changes instead of badmouthing them publicly.
Lorrie: I would totally agree with you if not for the clear lack of power Hollywood actresses have. An up-and-coming starlet doesn't always have the power to speak her mind or request changes to her directors for fear of being labeled difficult, especially in male-dominated comedies like Judd Apatow's. There's a possibility Heigl was just scared and speaking up for herself. And we've seen SO many movie stars act embarrassed about their breakout roles or act above them, or publicly express regret over participating in certain projects. Heigl sure isn't the only one. However, I do think her declining her Emmy nomination was a bit tone-deaf lol. It didn't really make sense.
Everyone has a right to say whatever but be prepared to face the consequences afterwards. You don't work on a whole movie or show that someone else could have do to talk trash about it and in public on top of that. Like the person said don't bite the hand that feeds you.
@@ulverup My god, get over it. She said something a million years ago and people are critisizing her ever since... How are they better? I just hate the hypocrisy. I think she was right and clearly spoke her mind. Knocked up was sexist and the material for the Emmys with the whole George storyline was shit.
rosely covali People don’t like people who say things behind their backs, after the fact, instead of being a professional and an adult and confronting issues head on. It’s about respect. It’s not what she said it’s how she said it.
Ulverup it isn t done:)) she played in Suits recently and if u really think she s a bad actress u re pretty dumb:)) i mean even though Shay Mitchell and Blake Lively are so beautiful and all they have like 2 expressions in totAl.. so lets be real.
Katherine is a terrific actress who only voiced out her opinions and experiences in her work. You would think she shouldn't had done it so publicly and out in the open but then again, a lot of MALE actors have done so before and yet they don't get called out for it. She deserves a comeback. I loved her at Grey's and I would definitely love to see more of her.
Also, I was just watching Knocked Up and that's how I ended up here. If what she was saying was true, it would still be untasteful because she read the script beforehand and agreed to star in the movie which made her a LOT of money, so it's kinda petty to say that afterwards, when she could have simply declined the part. But the thing is, the men are portrayed as absolutely dumb and useless in this movie, while the women are portrayed as intelligent and responsible. Yes, her character can be a b**ch sometimes, but that doesn't make it sexist since the men are portrayed as absurdly flawed individuals. This fact makes her statement even worse. I like her, I really do, but that was not cool.
I think Katherine should take time in choosing projects, so she won’t later regret them. I also think people should have an opportunity to redeem themselves. She was young and did not hurt people.
@@claudemakelele2856 In season 4, Katherine simply didn't enter the Emmy race. She quietly didn't submit. The submission is not obligatory from the actors. A journalist noticed the list and that her name was missing and he made it a big deal and then Katherine gave the most typical response that an actor can give. That her material in that specific season-an affair with a married man- didn't warrant a submission. She never used the word worthy. And then she complimented her colleagues for having a better material. Chandra Wilson publicly defended Katherine for this by saying that she didn't understand why it became an issue in the first place since there were years that she didn't partcipate the race either because of the lack of appropriate material and Krista Vernoff also publicly defended Katherine by saying that she only got a rap because she was a woman and not a man. And Shonda Rhimes who was covering Isaiah Washington, is known for her feuds with her employees. She literally got rid of Derek's character because she disliked Patrick Dempsey and she had issues with T.R. Knight and Sara Ramirez as well. Sara Ramirez literally left in season 12, Katherine was not even there, by criticizing them about their bad environment. So if anyone is difficult, it's Rhimes. Her writing skills are highly overrated and she acts like Marlon Brando in The Godfather. Yet Katherine still gets critisised for something that happened 10 years ago and Shonda gets away scot free. What a joke. And when it comes to Knocked Up, she replied to one question with honesty after the journalist told her that many women found the movie antifeminist and in the end Katherine said that it was just a comedy that exaggerated the stereotypes but Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow didn't open their mouth when their closed assistant, Mike White called it the movie of the b@#$% and Seth Rogen was also covering his bestie James Franco. Have you any idea what he did???????!!!!!!!!! And funny how the crew from Grey's said that Katherine was one of the nicest people and one of their favorites behind the scenes and funny how the Grey's directors praised Heigl for her professionalism. All of her colleagues, in all these years that Katherine is active, all said the same thing, that she's super professional, really funny and awesome to work with and in every set she is in, she makes friends for a lifetime. Justin Chambers is one of them. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is another. And Katherine steadily works all these years, her net worth is way bigger than most of all the actors on Grey's, she was a top player on Suits and right now she is thriving on Netflix by having in her back a best-selling author who keeps praising her all the time. And right now Katherine is out there and she is thriving with her multiple talents, while others are staying stale on the same job for 18 years because they need Shonda to live and because without Grey's they can not do anything else. And by the way, Katherine's Firefly Lane was the first show that dethroned Shonda's Bridgerton from the top. Her career is perfectly fine. And in a Hollywood full of Harvey Weinstein and Seth Rogen and James Franco and Shonda Rhimes, I always found it hilarious how there are people who actually believe that honest women like Heigl are a problem in any way. Next time do better
I've always enjoyed every one of her movies and seeing her character progression. She's intelligent, charming and strong. She's been a good on-screen woman for me to look up to. She's honest and just herself. It's good she fessed up to her mistakes, Hollywood can be harsh.
She was the secret star of Grey's. Everybody knew that, and after her breakthrough performance in season 2, Shonda gave her very bad material and even recycled it. That is just crazy.
It's tough being great at what you do and confident around such whiners. She is fabulous and nothing she has done warrants this hate-something else is probably afoot imo.
Susan R---She's a very pretty and talented actress for sure, and unless you happen to be a fly on the wall no one knows what really goes on behind the scenes, that being said it seems that her mother may play a pivotal "role" in her success and or causing problems concerning her daughters career, only they know for sure.
@@ulverup she's extraordinarily transparent with her feelings, and blunt, which not a lot of people are. So they don't understand her, and go on the defensive.
I at least respect Katharine Heigl for being one of the rare actors to morally question a movie they starred in. When it comes to morals, most actors bash other movies and not the ones they're in.
@Barbara Parry this. owen's personally is so stiff and aggressive and he's frustrating to like. im in season 12 currently and ive tried so hard to like him but its a hit or miss most of the time.
What I love about this is that she just said her opinion. And for the Knocked Up movie, yes it was kind of messed up on how they portrayed women and the entire situation. The punchline was her, and her onscreen sister constantly. Obviously Seth Rogen wouldn't see anything wrong with it he is friends with sex offenders and predators.
What she said about knocked up 10 years ago is exactly what feminists say about almost everything right now, only it’s not trendy then, less radical and it’s true. Where’s the feminists now?
I mean, I agree with her on the Knocked Up bit. It's just that with Grey's Anatomy, it was her launch pad, and she did get an interesting character. If she felt like a better role was warranted, she could've talked to someone on set instead of airing dirty laundry in public, is all. I just think she should pay more heed to her projects going forward - just don't say yes to something with a sexist script
My point being - not everything is related to feminism here. I do hope she makes a comeback; nothing she was beyond irredeemable, and actors have certainly been back from worse
Sho Nest yeah i’m glad she spoke up again knocked up, she obviously felt uncomfortable playing that role, why are people so salty if she speaks out about it
But still what she said about Grey's Anatomy wasn't enough to be hated or disgraced. She simply stated that she did not think that she was deserving enough to be given the Emmy. I do agree on what you are saying about talking to the producer or someone on set though.
Hollywood's loss, forcing us to lose yet another great talent. Katherine Heigl is a brilliant woman as well as a gifted actress. I have enjoyed every film and work of which she has participated. I deeply appreciate and admire her courageous integrity speaking her truth. :) So much for the Master who taught, " . . . The truth will set you free.". :( Hollywood needs to listen to such intelligent constructive criticism. :) I completely agree with Katherine's assessment of the roles she has played. :)
I love her as an actress and I will always support someone who doesn't sugar coat the truth. I think Hollywood and, especially Shonda, should learn to hear the truth and to listen to straightforward people. Basically, Katherine Heigl is not an ass kisser and that's a problem for people with big egos like Shonda. Down to earth people appreciate honesty!
Her beauty and privileged upbringing is a curse. People are so damn jealous and overly sensitive. It seems to me Katherine is not allowed to have an opinion if it goes against popular belief.
Regardless of the opinions of anyone else...I still love Katherine Heigl, and I have many of her movies, even all of the way back to "My Father the Hero." ♡♡♡
Proves just because you are beautiful or rich, doesn't mean you have common sense or you are right. These movie stars are kept on a pedestal by the general public - why? Because they were lucky to be the right person, at the right time with the right factors in place. Having a future in movies all comes down to luck. Period.
@@imhappyandyou.4003 I had no idea that selling your soul to Voldemort would help your acting career ;) (Seriously though, who did you mean by "You know who"?)
ändrew Salter She is ultimately responsible for her behaviour and taking her Mother to sets but it does sound like her Mother is not helping the situation and we are often affected by who we were raised to be and there’s a difference between being a strong woman and being rude and unpleasant and if her Mother didn’t teach her the difference when she was younger and her Mother is still a controlling figure in her life when would she learn? I’m not saying we can all be horrible people and blame our parents though, we all grow up and if we are in an unhealthy relationship with our parents then we have to recognise that and become more independent. It’s easier said than actually done though.
ändrew Salter it would be nice if she came back because it’s not like she’s done anything unforgivable and she’s award winning because she is a very capable actress and when I watched Greys Anatomy she seemed good to me. At the end of the day she’s not done any of the terrible things that have been uncovered in Hollywood she was just insensitive to other people’s feelings, that can change as a person matures.
When JLaw is opinionated people love it. When Heigle is, everyone hates it. There have been men publicly slamming a past project without this whiplash. I think the problem is that she didn't connect well enough with cast and crew for her criticism to be balanced by being otherwise well liked as a person (not just as an actress)
I don’t think someone should be set back or ripped apart because she’s telling the truth. Why should we look down upon someone who literally does GREAT ACTING. I’m a Leo and I definitely would have done the same thing. Shame on everyone else.
She should have had a "sit down" with the producer of the show to express her concerns, not whine about her dissatisfaction publicly. Regarding the movie that she said put women in a bad light, she had a script, she knew what it was all about. All she had to do, was not do the movie.
What about Robert Pattinson? He dissed Twilight from the start and all he got was positive responses for it. Everybody found him endearing and amazing for speaking up about it.
My god, people are really heartless. She said something, yes, without much thinking.. Was ist right? Maybe not. Was it honest? I think so. I hate the hypocrisy. She is such a good actress and bringing this up a million years later is just ruthless.
Katherine Heigl has been blacklisted for messing with people’s money. If you involve yourself in a project that people have invested millions of dollars in you have an obligation to tow the company line. Heigl thought she could say whatever she wants without consequences. She was only half right: you can say whatever you like, but there are always consequences.
Shree Dove ikr her job was to be a salesperson pushing those shitty movies when she started to talk trash about them she became a liability I'm not sure how she didn't see it coming
shes been gone for 10 years greys is ending soon shes never gonna come back we have new characters Katherine's character is always reoccurring with Alex and that he left jo for izzie so
I don't think anyone should be talking bad about her anymore. She apologized a long time ago for the mistakes she's made and it looks like she's making a career comeback in Suits and everybody there likes her a lot.
I love her. I think she is an incredibly talented woman. I think that it's weird that this video got more likes than dislikes, when i read most of the comments (i only saw one comment dissing Katherine) are in support of her.
Katherine, I don't think it is a matter of not pretending or pretending to be someone else, but simply a matter of knowing when to be outspoken and when to zip it. As I am now in my middle ages my wisdom seems to be a given lately. I was always the one who spoke what was on her mind. But now I realize sometimes that thinking 'things' with a twinkle in my eye is enough to get my point across.
Some people are socially awkward and have trouble gauging the right time and place to say things. I think she's genuinely just one of those people. It sucks, but doesn't make her a bad person.
This recklessness definitely fades with age, but she certainly should've known better. That said, I can't find too much fault in her actions with the worst of it only being that she's being public about it. I feel that the push against her career from higher ups, especially Grey's Anatomy's show-runner, was a bit excessive.
She's an Awesome Actress, really like her in Netflix's new release movie Firefly Lane. Maybe all she gotta do is tone down her opinions and be humble about things that she like to express to others. Other then that, hopefully the public respect her for that, who knows only time will tell.
Lot of people making apologies for her. The truth is she is a wealthy person with a dream job. If she's ungrateful for the opportunity, so much so that she would complain publicly, there are plenty of actresses who would love to have her spot.
If she said this now in 2020 or even 2018, she would’ve been praised for voicing women’s inequality and standing against stereotypes. She was unfairly judged at the time.
The problem as I see it is, while KH is a talented actress, Grey's brought the best out of her, and she didnt appreciate it. She thought it was her. Her knocked up comment didnt make her believable in any romcom that came after. But obviously you cannot ruin relationships in Hollywood on set!what?Even Bruce Willis eventually paid for that.
I’ve been in show business all my life and in theater since grade school, and Katherine is a tremendous actress, much better than anyone she’s played opposite of or writers, directors or producers. If they can’t put up with her, it’s from pure jealousy. I also like Drew Barrymore, it’s in her blood. I grew up with three Channel black and white TV, and just a few impress me, Al Pacino of course. If you don’t like Katherine you just don’t know! lol 😆
I agree with Kate Heigl, her Gray's anatomy character didn't really have much play, she was (in the show) sleeping with way too many people and as a Doctor, she didn't really have much to show for. She does sound like she would be hard to work but that's because she grew up in a Church that actually believes in Heaven and Hell, unfortunately, Ellen G. White added to the Bible and set a date for the return of Christ, having said that, Kate Heigl has her heart in the right place but Hollywood is a monster that swallows their young. Thank you for this video.
Y did Seth rogen feel betrayed by her comment that the movie was sexist and portrayed women in a negative light. I think she’s entitled to her opinion. That wasn’t a comment on the cast but the script.
So many feminist in this comment section defending her. She always been a diva (not a good kind of diva) and ppl can't stand her. U need to be big enough of a name to act like that and still getting jobs, she's out of her depth. End of story
Nicki Swift is really running out of material. Been this way for awhile now. You've told us all about heigl and her fall for several years now. There's nothing new to add.
he already is, he problem is that as a singer as long as u keep producing music bad rap is good but has an actor it can damage and make u lose job contracts
We all love Katherine Heigl and I am sure that Hollywood in its entirety is not hateful of her or anyone and it would be impractical to homogenize Hollywood. Katherine, or her publicist if you're reading this, should know that you are still loved and admired by your fans and we love to see you. Much Love.
These people are so toxic wtf. Katherine is one of the best actresses ever and if you think whatever she said was wrong then you should open your eyes. She stood up against sexism, homophobia, favouritism and so much more. She deserves all the support in the world. And she also deserves more than she got.
Nah, I don’t feel sorry for her. She went out of her way to ruin Isaiah Washington’s career all so her and her bestie TR Knight could get more screen time then they BOTH left the show. She’s getting exactly what she deserves.
She did not "slander" anyone. She expressed her opinion. And she did a good job with a crappy role. Just because the masses love shallow soap operas does not mean it is good. Just means a lot of people follow it. In order for something to be slandered, which is a legal term, it requires harm to the person(s), in a financial way, to be accurate. Or completely untrue. Which it was not from a legal standpoint. The rest is opinion only. And yours is yours, but that is all. There are plenty of viewers that agreed with her. Just not "the bosses".
I like Katherine Heigl as an actress. I have watched 27 Dresses 3 or 4 times now and really liked her in that movie. I also am a big fan of the Janet Evanovich books and love One For the Money. I wish Katherine would do more of those books into movies based upon the Stefanie Plum character.
I don’t see her as a horrible person because she expressed honesty. The Emmy, she should’ve just accepted the award. However, the Knocked Up movie, I totally understand what she meant and I felt the same way about the film. I’m not a huge fan of apatow’s and he does make his make characters ,especially in this film, as she stated.
So she gets hated on for being honest? Says a lot about how women are portrayed for giving their opinions before the later 2010s.
exactly. remember when Charlie Sheen bashed his writers and didn't get fired and totally wasn't forced to do another sitcom? Why are men just allowed to speak however they want to their bosses but not women? That female writer on Grey's Anatomy is obviously just a sexist. Women should be allowed to say and do anything with zero consequences. Consequences are sexist.
@Kaneidare Yu I was being sarcastic numb nuts
She’s great and way above Greys crap. lol
I realized that Hollywood always attend to ditch honest stars...like Rose McGowan, Gina Carano and many others
I wonder how the writers who committed their all to doing excellent work felt about her remarks.
I'm gonna be 100% honest and say I don't think Katherine Heigl is that bad. She may be insensitive and blunt with her phrasing, but she has strong opinions and is honest about them. She's candid about her own mistakes as well, which is pretty brave. I also think a lot of the things she's said are right (especially regarding Knocked Up's sexism).

Exactly! Hollywood is full of divas! All she really did was criticize what she felt was low quality writing.

rosely covali People don’t like people who say things behind their backs, after the fact, instead of being a professional and an adult and confronting issues head on. It’s about respect. It’s not what she said it’s how she said it.
Ulverup it isn t done:)) she played in Suits recently and if u really think she s a bad actress u re pretty dumb:)) i mean even though Shay Mitchell and Blake Lively are so beautiful and all they have like 2 expressions in totAl.. so lets be real.
Wow!
She was canceled for being honest. Cannot believe Hollywood. So shallow.
Look who was behind it, that Rimes hairbrain.
She's still one of the best actresses in Hollywood
Good one 😂
Her and Elizabeth Berkley, both. They should co-star sometime.
Stop it
@@Gr8Layks Elizabeth Burkley... im assuming your comments a joke.. so im gonna laugh it off..
@@deerao3897 Perceptive! ;-)
Katherine is a terrific actress who only voiced out her opinions and experiences in her work. You would think she shouldn't had done it so publicly and out in the open but then again, a lot of MALE actors have done so before and yet they don't get called out for it. She deserves a comeback. I loved her at Grey's and I would definitely love to see more of her.
Firefly Lane on Netflix. Best role in her career and the comeback that she always deserved.
Anyone would get backlash for saying the things she said, are you kidding? It has nothing to do with gender
Also, I was just watching Knocked Up and that's how I ended up here. If what she was saying was true, it would still be untasteful because she read the script beforehand and agreed to star in the movie which made her a LOT of money, so it's kinda petty to say that afterwards, when she could have simply declined the part. But the thing is, the men are portrayed as absolutely dumb and useless in this movie, while the women are portrayed as intelligent and responsible. Yes, her character can be a b**ch sometimes, but that doesn't make it sexist since the men are portrayed as absurdly flawed individuals. This fact makes her statement even worse. I like her, I really do, but that was not cool.
I think Katherine should take time in choosing projects, so she won’t later regret them. I also think people should have an opportunity to redeem themselves. She was young and did not hurt people.
Truuuue
Her mistake was not to say how she truly felt about those movies, but to be a part of them without making sure she was okay with that
She did nothing to need redeeming...you are probably on board with disney turning little mermaid black too. Idiots tend to agree with other idiots.
@@blakedup6190 ..biting the hand that feeds you is idiotic
@@claudemakelele2856 In season 4, Katherine simply didn't enter the Emmy race. She quietly didn't submit. The submission is not obligatory from the actors. A journalist noticed the list and that her name was missing and he made it a big deal and then Katherine gave the most typical response that an actor can give. That her material in that specific season-an affair with a married man- didn't warrant a submission. She never used the word worthy. And then she complimented her colleagues for having a better material. Chandra Wilson publicly defended Katherine for this by saying that she didn't understand why it became an issue in the first place since there were years that she didn't partcipate the race either because of the lack of appropriate material and Krista Vernoff also publicly defended Katherine by saying that she only got a rap because she was a woman and not a man. And Shonda Rhimes who was covering Isaiah Washington, is known for her feuds with her employees. She literally got rid of Derek's character because she disliked Patrick Dempsey and she had issues with T.R. Knight and Sara Ramirez as well. Sara Ramirez literally left in season 12, Katherine was not even there, by criticizing them about their bad environment. So if anyone is difficult, it's Rhimes. Her writing skills are highly overrated and she acts like Marlon Brando in The Godfather. Yet Katherine still gets critisised for something that happened 10 years ago and Shonda gets away scot free. What a joke. And when it comes to Knocked Up, she replied to one question with honesty after the journalist told her that many women found the movie antifeminist and in the end Katherine said that it was just a comedy that exaggerated the stereotypes but Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow didn't open their mouth when their closed assistant, Mike White called it the movie of the b@#$% and Seth Rogen was also covering his bestie James Franco. Have you any idea what he did???????!!!!!!!!! And funny how the crew from Grey's said that Katherine was one of the nicest people and one of their favorites behind the scenes and funny how the Grey's directors praised Heigl for her professionalism. All of her colleagues, in all these years that Katherine is active, all said the same thing, that she's super professional, really funny and awesome to work with and in every set she is in, she makes friends for a lifetime. Justin Chambers is one of them. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is another. And
Katherine steadily works all these years, her net worth is way bigger than most of all the actors on Grey's, she was a top player on Suits and right now she is thriving on Netflix by having in her back a best-selling author who keeps praising her all the time. And right now Katherine is out there and she is thriving with her multiple talents, while others are staying stale on the same job for 18 years because they need Shonda to live and because without Grey's they can not do anything else. And by the way, Katherine's Firefly Lane was the first show that dethroned Shonda's Bridgerton from the top. Her career is perfectly fine. And in a Hollywood full of Harvey Weinstein and Seth Rogen and James Franco and Shonda Rhimes, I always found it hilarious how there are people who actually believe that honest women like Heigl are a problem in any way. Next time do better
I've always enjoyed every one of her movies and seeing her character progression. She's intelligent, charming and strong. She's been a good on-screen woman for me to look up to. She's honest and just herself. It's good she fessed up to her mistakes, Hollywood can be harsh.
I don’t even care she’s a great actress. One of the few female actresses that i actually enjoy watching
She was the secret star of Grey's. Everybody knew that, and after her breakthrough performance in season 2, Shonda gave her very bad material and even recycled it. That is just crazy.
Ok, I still love her, this video did nothing for me. She is an amazing actress!
Thanks clicked on and clicked off
Based on what work?
It's tough being great at what you do and confident around such whiners. She is fabulous and nothing she has done warrants this hate-something else is probably afoot imo.
@@Jangling-cn2fn nah, she is just a B that is no longer relevant
I don’t know her, real well to play her judge! So from what I have seen of her she’s funny and good actress!
Susan R---She's a very pretty and talented actress for sure, and unless you happen to be a fly on the wall no one knows what really goes on behind the scenes, that being said it seems that her mother may play a pivotal "role" in her success and or causing problems concerning her daughters career, only they know for sure.
I agree ☝🏾
Mike Marek is that a fact?
@Mike Marek 😂😵
She was just 10 years too early. If the movie came out now and she spoke out, she would be hailed as a superhero
H O L L Y W O O D NEEDS TO CAST HER BACK!!!
No, she deserves to be free of this
TheLatiosnlatias02 no one deserves to be treated like that especially when your portrayed as the “bad guy”
She's just misunderstood
how? whats there to understand?
@@ulverup she's extraordinarily transparent with her feelings, and blunt, which not a lot of people are. So they don't understand her, and go on the defensive.
I at least respect Katharine Heigl for being one of the rare actors to morally question a movie they starred in. When it comes to morals, most actors bash other movies and not the ones they're in.
Since Burke and Izzy and george left greys anatomy hasn't been able to cast people half as charismatic
@Barbara Parry this. owen's personally is so stiff and aggressive and he's frustrating to like. im in season 12 currently and ive tried so hard to like him but its a hit or miss most of the time.
She was right about Knocked Up, though.
The film blames other films for being bad. Knocked Up is the one that should be scolded and criticized more.
@@filmperson4390stop
Idk much about her, but this video made me like her more. Idk why people get offended when someone says what they feel.
What I love about this is that she just said her opinion. And for the Knocked Up movie, yes it was kind of messed up on how they portrayed women and the entire situation. The punchline was her, and her onscreen sister constantly. Obviously Seth Rogen wouldn't see anything wrong with it he is friends with sex offenders and predators.
Wait , she’s hated ? I still like her!! I love her acting!!!
I was at the gym recently and saw her in SUITS. She is a great actress tbh
I love her. I think all these things are a silly reason to hate her, what matters is talent and she is an amazing actress
What she said about knocked up 10 years ago is exactly what feminists say about almost everything right now, only it’s not trendy then, less radical and it’s true. Where’s the feminists now?
I mean, I agree with her on the Knocked Up bit. It's just that with Grey's Anatomy, it was her launch pad, and she did get an interesting character. If she felt like a better role was warranted, she could've talked to someone on set instead of airing dirty laundry in public, is all. I just think she should pay more heed to her projects going forward - just don't say yes to something with a sexist script
My point being - not everything is related to feminism here. I do hope she makes a comeback; nothing she was beyond irredeemable, and actors have certainly been back from worse
Sho Nest yeah i’m glad she spoke up again knocked up, she obviously felt uncomfortable playing that role, why are people so salty if she speaks out about it
But still what she said about Grey's Anatomy wasn't enough to be hated or disgraced. She simply stated that she did not think that she was deserving enough to be given the Emmy. I do agree on what you are saying about talking to the producer or someone on set though.
Hollywood's loss, forcing us to lose yet another great talent. Katherine Heigl is a brilliant woman as well as a gifted actress. I have enjoyed every film and work of which she has participated. I deeply appreciate and admire her courageous integrity speaking her truth. :)
So much for the Master who taught, " . . . The truth will set you free.". :(
Hollywood needs to listen to such intelligent constructive criticism. :)
I completely agree with Katherine's assessment of the roles she has played. :)
That's the problem, the roles she PLAYED..if she already knew there are issues with those roles, why did she play them in the first place?
Concur 100,,,
I love her as an actress and I will always support someone who doesn't sugar coat the truth. I think Hollywood and, especially Shonda, should learn to hear the truth and to listen to straightforward people. Basically, Katherine Heigl is not an ass kisser and that's a problem for people with big egos like Shonda. Down to earth people appreciate honesty!
Heigl deserves my support
She is honest and amazing actress ..
Her beauty and privileged upbringing is a curse. People are so damn jealous and overly sensitive. It seems to me Katherine is not allowed to have an opinion if it goes against popular belief.
Regardless of the opinions of anyone else...I still love Katherine Heigl, and I have many of her movies, even all of the way back to "My Father the Hero." ♡♡♡
Proves just because you are beautiful or rich, doesn't mean you have common sense or you are right. These movie stars are kept on a pedestal by the general public - why? Because they were lucky to be the right person, at the right time with the right factors in place. Having a future in movies all comes down to luck. Period.
Loy Machedo she can producers are all to blame for the smut agenda in her films, but she plays victim
Or apparently selling ones soul to.. YOU KNOW WHO 😵😵😋😂😂
@@imhappyandyou.4003 I had no idea that selling your soul to Voldemort would help your acting career ;)
(Seriously though, who did you mean by "You know who"?)
@@samsampleman2439 No I totally meant that as Voldemort lol. Im horrible at being a smart ass. 😂
I blame her mom... I'm sure there's more to the story
DonYelle and Diana
Yeah, she has a mom-ager after all.
DonYelle and Diana it’s her fault her mom came because she allowed her to 🤷🏽♀️
ändrew Salter She is ultimately responsible for her behaviour and taking her Mother to sets but it does sound like her Mother is not helping the situation and we are often affected by who we were raised to be and there’s a difference between being a strong woman and being rude and unpleasant and if her Mother didn’t teach her the difference when she was younger and her Mother is still a controlling figure in her life when would she learn? I’m not saying we can all be horrible people and blame our parents though, we all grow up and if we are in an unhealthy relationship with our parents then we have to recognise that and become more independent. It’s easier said than actually done though.
ändrew Salter it would be nice if she came back because it’s not like she’s done anything unforgivable and she’s award winning because she is a very capable actress and when I watched Greys Anatomy she seemed good to me. At the end of the day she’s not done any of the terrible things that have been uncovered in Hollywood she was just insensitive to other people’s feelings, that can change as a person matures.
@@shearerslegs or it could be she was always gloriously beautiful and never really had anyone to push back against her behavior.
When JLaw is opinionated people love it. When Heigle is, everyone hates it. There have been men publicly slamming a past project without this whiplash. I think the problem is that she didn't connect well enough with cast and crew for her criticism to be balanced by being otherwise well liked as a person (not just as an actress)
I dont care.. I love izzy... Katherine did a good job in grey anatomy
I don’t think someone should be set back or ripped apart because she’s telling the truth. Why should we look down upon someone who literally does GREAT ACTING. I’m a Leo and I definitely would have done the same thing. Shame on everyone else.
She should have had a "sit down" with the producer of the show to express her concerns, not whine about her dissatisfaction publicly. Regarding the movie that she said put women in a bad light, she had a script, she knew what it was all about. All she had to do, was not do the movie.
I know right, that would have been the professional thing to do..... 😒😒😒😒
What about Robert Pattinson? He dissed Twilight from the start and all he got was positive responses for it. Everybody found him endearing and amazing for speaking up about it.
My god, people are really heartless. She said something, yes, without much thinking.. Was ist right? Maybe not. Was it honest? I think so. I hate the hypocrisy. She is such a good actress and bringing this up a million years later is just ruthless.
She straight disappeared from the face of the earth.😬
She's in Suits
@@nickholmes7480 and the show is dying
Blacklisted
@@AleroA If she was "blacklisted" she would not be working.
Kashif Reza in what world is Suits dying?
To be fair the material that she was given for GA was pretty meh but still suck it up and get it over and done with.
She's so spontaneous beautiful and honest all love to her
Katherine Heigl has been blacklisted for messing with people’s money. If you involve yourself in a project that people have invested millions of dollars in you have an obligation to tow the company line. Heigl thought she could say whatever she wants without consequences. She was only half right: you can say whatever you like, but there are always consequences.
Shree Dove ikr her job was to be a salesperson pushing those shitty movies when she started to talk trash about them she became a liability I'm not sure how she didn't see it coming
Right and who knows what that Emmy nomination could have done for their show.
@@mkratos17 the movies and series she was trashing were critically acclaimed, she's the only shitty thing in the situation.
Oh bullshit. Mem speak their minds in hollywood all they time and are critical. Shame how many men dont recognize sexism even when it's this blatant
Thank you
Bring her back on Greys 😭
shes been gone for 10 years greys is ending soon shes never gonna come back we have new characters Katherine's character is always reoccurring with Alex and that he left jo for izzie so
aliya ahmed this is a one year old comment before everything happened on the recent season! Of course I know all that and Thanks!
@@Ms.Frias559 haha i just saw this video today that's why
I LOVE IZZIE I LOVE KATHERINE HEIGL! AND I LOVE HER BEING HER AND NOT BEING PRETENTIOUS
I don't think anyone should be talking bad about her anymore. She apologized a long time ago for the mistakes she's made and it looks like she's making a career comeback in Suits and everybody there likes her a lot.
I love Katherine Heigl! I feel like rumours started during tabloids peak, but she seems nice. Hollywood is so quick to label someone a diva or bitch 😩
*I only know her as the girl from “Wish Upon A Star.”*
I love her. I think she is an incredibly talented woman. I think that it's weird that this video got more likes than dislikes, when i read most of the comments (i only saw one comment dissing Katherine) are in support of her.
Shonda Rhimes is a terrible writer! She just writes typical scripts that are cheesy. Heigls is cool!
Katherine, I don't think it is a matter of not pretending or pretending to be someone else, but simply a matter of knowing when to be outspoken and when to zip it. As I am now in my middle ages my wisdom seems to be a given lately. I was always the one who spoke what was on her mind. But now I realize sometimes that thinking 'things' with a twinkle in my eye is enough to get my point across.
Some people are socially awkward and have trouble gauging the right time and place to say things. I think she's genuinely just one of those people. It sucks, but doesn't make her a bad person.
This recklessness definitely fades with age, but she certainly should've known better. That said, I can't find too much fault in her actions with the worst of it only being that she's being public about it. I feel that the push against her career from higher ups, especially Grey's Anatomy's show-runner, was a bit excessive.
She’s thanking her lucky stars on the new role. That performance is worth an Emmy in it’s own right.
I really dont know much about her but these reasons dont really seem that bad like other celebs do the exact same thing
Sooooooooooooo basically it was desired that she bite her tongue? I noticed the same things she pointed out on the KNOCKED UP film
she remains one of the greatest artists of all times
i still love her i couldnt care less what people think of her
Her problem is she starting believing her own hype.
She had the same level of uniqueness like Julia Roberts or so… she was always great and famous…. Loved her
I even feel sorry for her now. She's a fun actress
I love her, one of my favorite actresses actually
She's an Awesome Actress, really like her in Netflix's new release movie Firefly Lane. Maybe all she gotta do is tone down her opinions and be humble about things that she like to express to others. Other then that, hopefully the public respect her for that, who knows only time will tell.
Lot of people making apologies for her. The truth is she is a wealthy person with a dream job. If she's ungrateful for the opportunity, so much so that she would complain publicly, there are plenty of actresses who would love to have her spot.
If she said this now in 2020 or even 2018, she would’ve been praised for voicing women’s inequality and standing against stereotypes. She was unfairly judged at the time.
I like Katherine , I loved her in greys anatomy , 27 dresses so what she has an opinion , doesn't everyone ?
I like her. I remember her in Roswell, she was so beautiful to my eyes!
I like her powerhouse performance.
The problem as I see it is, while KH is a talented actress, Grey's brought the best out of her, and she didnt appreciate it. She thought it was her. Her knocked up comment didnt make her believable in any romcom that came after. But obviously you cannot ruin relationships in Hollywood on set!what?Even Bruce Willis eventually paid for that.
I’ve been in show business all my life and in theater since grade school, and Katherine is a tremendous actress, much better than anyone she’s played opposite of or writers, directors or producers. If they can’t put up with her, it’s from pure jealousy. I also like Drew Barrymore, it’s in her blood. I grew up with three Channel black and white TV, and just a few impress me, Al Pacino of course. If you don’t like Katherine you just don’t know! lol 😆
I agree with Kate Heigl, her Gray's anatomy character didn't really have much play, she was (in the show) sleeping with way too many people and as a Doctor, she didn't really have much to show for. She does sound like she would be hard to work but that's because she grew up in a Church that actually believes in Heaven and Hell, unfortunately, Ellen G. White added to the Bible and set a date for the return of Christ, having said that, Kate Heigl has her heart in the right place but Hollywood is a monster that swallows their young. Thank you for this video.
shes amazing.
katherine heigl was right with everything she said. she doesng deserve to be "cancelled" its so dumb
Firefly lane is so good
I Love Her She Is Amazingky Ahead Of Time And Had Right Opinions
Get back to reality.
we need more people like Heigl
I love her no matter what
Y did Seth rogen feel betrayed by her comment that the movie was sexist and portrayed women in a negative light. I think she’s entitled to her opinion. That wasn’t a comment on the cast but the script.
So many feminist in this comment section defending her. She always been a diva (not a good kind of diva) and ppl can't stand her. U need to be big enough of a name to act like that and still getting jobs, she's out of her depth. End of story
Nicki Swift is really running out of material. Been this way for awhile now. You've told us all about heigl and her fall for several years now. There's nothing new to add.
I thought she had the best performance in Grey's Anatomy, by far.
Well, lots of people here supporting Katherine! She is a great actress and beautiful too.
I like Katherine Heigl and I think she's a good actress. I wish her the best.
I dont know why? But I love her. She looks funny and confident in every character she played.
The Ugly Truth was an awesome movie you missed 😂
I love that movie! That movie was so funny and hilarious 😆😆
I hated her in the cat litter ads. Her need for entitlement is distasteful. She can slither away.
Damn I never saw those. She did cat litter ads? That just tells me her career really is over
Those cat litter ads were hilarious. I never had an opinion on her one way or another until I saw them.
Omg I didn’t even know she was in the zquil commercial!
This gonna be Nicki minaj real soon if she don't shut up and be humble
Blvckgirlrock 93 yeah nicki minaj is patheyic these days
isnt nicki parading around as a chinese woman now?
Best comment I've seen in here in a while lol
Facts!
he already is, he problem is that as a singer as long as u keep producing music bad rap is good but has an actor it can damage and make u lose job contracts
THE MOVIE “KILLERS” WAS SO GOOD THOUGH WTF
I know
Killers is better than that garbage movie that the whole world is obsessed about Knocked Up!
i still love her sooooii much🤷♀️
That's why it's best to think before you speak. Not just say anything that comes to mind. Think about other people's feeling
I Definately Think Greys anatomy Set Was A Toxic One And The Script Is Toxic Just Surgery And Sex
We all love Katherine Heigl and I am sure that Hollywood in its entirety is not hateful of her or anyone and it would be impractical to homogenize Hollywood. Katherine, or her publicist if you're reading this, should know that you are still loved and admired by your fans and we love to see you. Much Love.
These people are so toxic wtf. Katherine is one of the best actresses ever and if you think whatever she said was wrong then you should open your eyes. She stood up against sexism, homophobia, favouritism and so much more. She deserves all the support in the world. And she also deserves more than she got.
Nah, I don’t feel sorry for her. She went out of her way to ruin Isaiah Washington’s career all so her and her bestie TR Knight could get more screen time then they BOTH left the show. She’s getting exactly what she deserves.
Idk what she expected to happen, she slandered multiple of her writers work and still expected to be in more films
She did not "slander" anyone. She expressed her opinion. And she did a good job with a crappy role. Just because the masses love shallow soap operas does not mean it is good. Just means a lot of people follow it. In order for something to be slandered, which is a legal term, it requires harm to the person(s), in a financial way, to be accurate. Or completely untrue. Which it was not from a legal standpoint. The rest is opinion only. And yours is yours, but that is all. There are plenty of viewers that agreed with her. Just not "the bosses".
Glad she’s on ‘Suits,’ love the show.
I like Katherine Heigl as an actress. I have watched 27 Dresses 3 or 4 times now and really liked her in that movie. I also am a big fan of the Janet Evanovich books and love One For the Money. I wish Katherine would do more of those books into movies based upon the Stefanie Plum character.
I don’t see her as a horrible person because she expressed honesty. The Emmy, she should’ve just accepted the award. However, the Knocked Up movie, I totally understand what she meant and I felt the same way about the film. I’m not a huge fan of apatow’s and he does make his make characters ,especially in this film, as she stated.
ik you mention this story in like 8 of your other videos but Im amazed you actually made a video specifically for this
