Katherine Heigl certainly has a reputation in Hollywood as being someone that’s difficult to work with. It’s a title given to a handful of stars, but hers seems to be one of the worst reputations. She’s been accused of saying she’s better than her co-stars, not talking to them, not knowing her lines and even badmouthing her co-stars, writers and the movies she’s been in. It’s not a combination that makes her look like a particularly laid-back and easy-to-work-with star.
However, she has something to tell her haters. It’s not appropriate, and it’s a direct quote from one of her co-stars, Alfre Woodard. When she was confronted by a reporter who asked her if the rumors were true, she reportedly told reporters that her new co-star, Alfre Woodard, once used some pretty explicit language to tell Heigl how to handle the people who have nothing but negative things to say about the star. When you turn what Woodard said into something safe to say in front of children, the message is simply – forget about them.
“I can only say that I certainly don’t see myself as difficult. I would never intend to be difficult. I think it’s important for everyone to conduct themselves professionally, respectfully and kindly,” she said of her own reputation in Hollywood for being a bit of a diva that no one wants to work with. The actress, who left Grey’s Anatomy in 2010, returns to Primetime this fall with her new show “State of Affairs,” alongside Woodard. She plays an analyst who delivers the daily briefing to the president, who is played by Woodard.
Whether or not she is difficult to work with is a personal opinion, but actors on the Grey’s Anatomy set have said she’s not easy. Additionally, she then called Judd Apatow, the creative genius behind the movie that made her successful, a little sexist. That didn’t help her cause in the least.
