How Katherine Heigl Became So Hated In Hollywood 

a quote by a woman who has made millions off of singing about how bad men in her life are, while depicting herself as a sin-less angel. yeah sure bud

@@fredrickcantwell6890 factually incorrect, MOST of Taylor's songs aren't even about men. But nice try. And the point of the quote wasn't for the background of any female star, it's that there are double standards in multiple industries in today's world. Katherine's comments weren't even that bad, while if a man cussed out producers, directors and recording companies, no one would think about blackballing him.

@@fearless3999 most of her songs are about men but okayyyy

@@fearless3999 What reality are you even living in? It's 2021, not 1921. Men get ostracized even for looking in a funny way.

Posting feminist comments online isn't gonna get you laid buddy

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.

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!

jacksparrowguy yes! I pray she will comeback!

I’m sure there was stuff that happened behind the scenes that we never saw. Just her saying that isn’t enough for people to not want to work with her

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

But women are genuine killjoys

Then after Knocked Up she goes and do another so-called sexist movie called The Ugly Truth. Who is the hypocrite?

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

Hardly. We live in a shadow matriarchy, it's just no one has the balls to say it. The stats don't lie.

@@hardyzme you're part of the problem.

She pissed off the “great” Shonda Rimes and the latter has been shit talking her ever since.

*Well she's far to be getting Gibson or weinstein-type of hate actually!* ;) She just got pushed on the side of this business cause she wasn't very grateful with her coworkers. People making millions who complain yet keep re-signing every year to keep getting new villas are often dismissed by folks. They'll say 'If it's so hard give your place to someone else or stay, don't complain + own the fact you chose money". Also when you don't play the award games you refuse to your show a change to get more credibility and exposition. That's letting the show team down. Same thing with the movie she deemed sexist after getting the money. She knew the story and dialogues yet took the money then pretended to defend women by dissing the project her and her ex workmates worked on...

Give Mel Gibson a break too. He's not the man he was 10 years ago

There was probably more behind the scenes. Also you don’t piss off the people who gave you your big break and even just work

She should have addressed her problems with the script in private. I agree that her comments were right but if she’d said something to the producers privately during filming, maybe certain changes could have been made

No one cares about your opinion.

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.

Agreed. I don't see the problem.

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.

Look who was behind it, that Rimes hairbrain.

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

Good one 😂

Her and Elizabeth Berkley, both. They should co-star sometime.

@@Gr8Layks Elizabeth Burkley... im assuming your comments a joke.. so im gonna laugh it off..

@@deerao3897 Perceptive! ;-)

Yes she is

Shitting on the people that currently employ you is not straightforward, its unprofessional.

@@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.

@@juliejules7759 I don't have to get over anything,. Her career is pretty much done and that's a good thing.

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.

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 😂😵

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

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”

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.

@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.

EXACTLY. Actors can dislike some of the films they starr in, it's inevitable

The film blames other films for being bad. Knocked Up is the one that should be scolded and criticized more.

@@filmperson4390stop

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,,,

Heigl deserves my support

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 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.

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.

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'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?

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

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

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.

Get back to reality.

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.
