Katherine Heigl--honest or bad etiquette?

Question

OK previously she bashed her coworker Isaiah Washington to the press. No one else felt the need to throw him to the wolves, including TR Knight. Then she slows down filming due to outrageous demands in contract negotiations and makes a million speeches during the writer strike about how important writers are.

Of course now we see how much she values those writers. She takes time off during her movie filming. I was sick of seeing her being a homewrecker and playing around with deer--rather than actually seeing any medical stuff like they used to do.

But the writers take into consideration that she's filming movies and cut her slack. To which she replies by bashes them saying her scripts sucked. It sounded to me as if she was saying the poor other actresses couldn't win if she had submitted herself for an Emmy. Sounded like a narcissist.

But do you feel she is just being honest to tell the press these things or do you think it's bad form to publically bash coworkers? I know I'd be fired if I went to the press and talked about any event in my office. But Hollywood is different...

What do you think?

Answer 1

I agree with you. She was a bit, well, rude. Just as the first answerer said, I also think her 15 minutes are done as well.

Answer 2

Yes she's being honest by saying what she's thinking, but what she is saying is terrible etiquette. There's no need to just bash on a coworker  TO THE PRESS just because you have a problem with them. She just wanted other people to agree with her by going to the people who will spread the word - all over the country. It was stupid and rude. And to then support the writers with speeches and then publicly announce that her scripts suck? What is she playing at? I agree, she is being narcissistic. She has really bad etiquette. What little respect i once had for her has just diminished.  

Answer 3

i think actually that i find her somewhat refreshing. here is my reasoning: how many times has a movie or actress or director won an award which you, as an audience member, didn't exactly think was deserved? OR that it caused other, possibly greater movies to be overlooked? for example: lord of the rings. i didn't even bother watching the oscars because it was obvious that in every category in which that movie was nominated, every other nominee basically had no shot. it was boring and predictable (the oscars, not the movie).

now, i'm not saying that katherine heigl was guaranteed a win or is the next meryl streep or something....but maybe she really didn't consider her material to be the best of those nominated. she's not saying it isn't good...she's simply passing the honor onto someone else who she thinks may, in fact, deserve it more than she does. we forget that actors also go see movies and watch TV, just like us, and have their own opinions about who should win, just like us.

i think she's a tremendous actress with very natural on-screen persona. but ultimately she'll make her own fate...and if this is her downfall then shame on hollywood. not on heigl.

Answer 4

I think she's way too over exposed and boring. YAWN!!! She was good in The Bride Of Chucky, but her later work is all bland.

Answer 5

I think her 15 minutes are just about up.
