Katherine Heigl admits to acting like an 'a**hole' during the height of her success in her 20s

I've wondered for years now if she had to put out to Steven Segal for that role in Under Siege 2.

DL pegged her as a cunt almost immediately. When DL takes an instant dislike to you and you're not overweight or a person of color, you know something is up.

assholism was infectious on that set, isiah washington was canned for bad behavior , he used homophobic slurs during a dispute with patrick dempsey. ten years later patrick dempsey was acting up on set causing problems for the show's creator.

dempsey and heigel were washed up before they landed that gig, a little gratitude is in order. Washington was a working actor but not a household name.

They still publish TV Guide?

It's too late for her. If she had owned up to it years ago she'd be okay now, but she's waited so long and was such a jerk to so many people.

She is making amends after pulling a Suzanne Somers and leaving Grey's but it's too late. I'm surprised she hasn't been blacklisted completely from the industry. She still was given lead roles on State of Affairs and Doubt years after her Grey's stunt. Both series failed miserably of course, but she seems to have landed nicely on her feet by getting a regular stint on Suits, which is an established series on USA now.

What she really means is:

"My career went nowhere, no one will hire me for high profile roles, so feigning remorse about acting like a self-entitled bitch is my last ditch effort to salvage it."

Too little, too late.

I think calling her an A-Lister is a bit generous.

Suits is my favorite show, but I wish she wasn’t on it.

In that last movie she did with Ashton Kuchner she looked like his mother. And as about as sexy.

[quote]I think calling her an A-Lister is a bit generous.

Yeah, I don't think she's considered A-List.

She was well on her way to being A list, she was getting lead parts in movies, but she got way too big for her boots, forgot that pretty blondes are a dime a dozen in Hollywood and therefore completely replaceable. She found out the hard way.

It’s too late now to be sorry, the A list ship has sailed, she needs to just be grateful she gets any work.

I never heard of her before Grey's. And then they stuck her in that "Dizzy" idiocy. I was done with her and the show long before the rest of the world wrote her (and it) off. HTF did it stay so popular?

A-List?

Apart from Grey's Anatomy and Knocked Up, she hasn't been in anything of note.

Is she relevant? I think not.

She was also the lead in lesbian movie Jenny's Wedding, a truly incredible piece of cinema.

I liked her better when she was fat.

On what planet is she an "A lister"?

Her biggest problem is her mother. They were together years ago on Oprah and her mom is an even more cantankerous bitch than kh is. Producers, casting agents refuse to work her because of her mother but oh keeps her on

“Acting” like an asshole?

No dear, you ARE an asshole.

How embarrassing that being a bitch is her legacy

Once you hit bottom, apologies are meaningless.

When Jennifer Aniston’s career is more of a success story than yours, you know you’ve fucked up.

I would not have minded her if Shonda had not ruined the character of Izzy with that stupid Denny story. That Shonda Rimes is one of TV's most prolific producers is emblematic of so much that is wrong in the world.

R17 knows what goes on these days ...

The only place I see her now, is on TV kitty litter commercials.

She was great as a bitch in Home Sweet Hell - it's a camp classic.

She felt on top of the world during Roswell?

The generation of Heigl and the ones after her haven't brought about any big stars anymore, except imo maybe a few athletes and Britney Spears and maybe Taylor Swift, also considering the international market, Europe isn't as movies positive, she was a big star; e.g. a feuilletonist called her the last diva.

A - list? She was never A - list. She was on the verge of becoming maybe B - list but she ruined that. She is now D - list, with a terrible reputation.

R3 Patrick Dempsey also has a terrible reputation and his poor behavior didn’t start 10 yrs after the altercation with Isaiah Washington. The altercation was about his poor behavior and his poor treatment of his co-workers. He was always a jack ass. Washington was fed up and he told him so.

I know I'm going to get spit roasted for this, but I don't care.

I think Katherine Heigl used that TR Knight situation and blew it up and out of proportion to raise her own profile. What IW was trying to say was that he wasn't going to just let PD walk all over him like TR allowed PD to walk all over him. He could have used better language and maybe some sensitivity training, but I don't think he meant to call TR the F word in the way that it all eventually played out.

I think Heigl and her mother jumped on that and fanned the flames (no pun intended) and it became the mess that it became.

She could win back to back Oscars and never be considered A-List.

[Quote] I think Heigl and her mother jumped on that and fanned the flames (no pun intended) and it became the mess that it became.

It also didn't help that she took herself out of the running by shit talking the writers during the Emmy's.

For years I read she was difficult but specifically how? Details please.

Sounds like her mom is part of the problem but the girl can't unload her because... family. Boundary issues here that were never addressed.

R37 we’re talking about a 40 yr old woman.

She also bad mouthed Knocked Up and fucked herself right out of Apatow’s world. Big mistake, huge!

At what point do you stop blaming the mom for a 40 yr old woman’s behavior and choices.

America had no trouble accepting the idea that a dark skinned black man could be an asshole. But it cannot accept that a pretty blond white woman can be an asshole or an even bigger asshole. White blond women are sweet beautiful princesses, not villains.

Well R36, you don't bad mouth the writers of your hit show until after the show has been cancelled or in your post show tell all book. Any other time is just bad form.

She was solidly B-list.

She was a class-A bitch however.

She thought she could be the next Sherry Stringfield, and walk away from roles and shows at the height of their popularity.

[quote]He could have used better language and maybe some sensitivity training, but I don't think he meant to call TR the F word in the way that it all eventually played out.

Don’t make excuses for Isaiah Washington’s homophobia.

[quote]But it cannot accept that a pretty blond white woman can be an asshole or an even bigger asshole. White blond women are sweet beautiful princesses, not villains.

The majority of posters on this thread have called her out as an asshole.

America and Hollywood have as well, based on the fact that she has no career at this point.

I definitely think there was a tiny window of opportunity for her to hit the A-list after she won her Emmy in 2007.

She could've easily had a similar career to Jennifer Lawrence if she played her cards right.

But she misjudged how finite that window actually was, pissed off the wrong people, and is now almost 40 and looks more like a Beverly Hills housewife than an actress.

Should've laid off the smoking and kissed Shonda Rhimes' fat ass.

I forgot about her notorious smoking habit. Gross.

Agree with r33. She kept inserting herself into the drama and found every reporter she could find to comment on Washington's behaviour. She tried to write it off as being a supportive friend to TR but it was all self-serving.

With Grey’s and with a burgeoning movie career, she was headed to A list. She will remain a working actor, but he star days are gone.

I remember the stories that she and Jason Behr fucked like rabbits in their trailers during Roswell. Lucky bitch.

Her co-star in Bride of Chucky, Nick Stabile, was hot as fuck.

Her mom WAS a thousand times worse than Katherine. But the apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree.

"America had no trouble accepting the idea that a dark skinned black man could be a homophobe". Fixed that for you R40. Oh, and Newsflash: America doesn't give a fuck if a white guy is called "f****t". The masses have always accepted and encouraged cruelty towards gay people. And the masses have always known it's quite possible that a pretty blonde white woman can be a really big pretty blonde white asshole. America loves assholes. Where the fuck have you been?

R52 Really? I thought she did an interview stating she didn't lose her virginity until she was 22.

Is Jason Behr an android?

[quote]I think Katherine Heigl used that TR Knight situation and blew it up and out of proportion to raise her own profile.

This was back in Datalounge's heyday and the story of what happened on set was posted here before it even hit the media from someone who claimed they were there at the time it happened.

[quote]I remember the stories that she and Jason Behr fucked like rabbits in their trailers during Roswell. Lucky bitch.

Jason Behr, who will be 45 next month, hasn't aged a day since he was on Roswell.

Looking it up she was born in 1978. So her a**hole phase would have lasted from Bride of Chucky (1998) to 27 Dresses (2008).

Interviews from the Roseell days show her less pretentious than those after.

I did background work for Suits this past year in Toronto and she was lovely on set. All the extras were expecting her to be a bitch, but she was really really nice

She better be nice. This is probably her last chance to be on a hit show. What happened to her marriage to that gay singer?

[quote]I did background work for Suits this past year in Toronto and she was lovely on set. All the extras were expecting her to be a bitch, but she was really really nice

I can second this. I have no clue what she was like when she was younger but she's very nice to work with now.

She's only regretting her cuntery because it didn't work out for her.

I watched an old rerun of Grey's Anatomy the other day and had completely forgotten the Issiah Washington issue, and I was struck by how how handsome he was but he totally set my (albeit probably dubious) gaydar off. Then when Pd appeared in the episode I remembered the controversy.

It was like that old 90's thing, things that make you go umm (or something).

I admit in the past I was a nasty

They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch

But you'll find nowadays, I've mended all my ways

Repented, seen the light and made a switch

True?

Yes!

I remember an old Tom Jones interview where the interviewer asked him how it was he hadn't changed , when other celebrities were prone to bad behaviour. He said that his theory is that the other people hadn't changed at all, they just could never have got away with that behaviour before they were famous.

I don't think he was wrong.

I love her. First of all, there’s something ever so slightly laughable and charming about a young person who acts entitled. It shows their naïveté. You know as an older person that they’ll have to come down to earth eventually. It’s like watching a comedy and you know something funny is about to happen to the protagonist. Actually, I thought the “difficult” label was just part of a schtick anyway. To differentiate herself from any other pretty blonde actress who might end up on Lifetime. She’s just as opinionated and outspoken as JLaw or Charlize. She’s not Meryl Streep, but so what? A-list is a passing parade for everybody. Eventually they all end up doing TV or commercials or QVC or CRAP, even Meryl. Trashing the movie that got her the Vanity Fair cover was priceless and endearing. Who else would have the nerve? I love a bold personality!

I recall her blasting Isiah when he wouldn't shut up about how he never said anything wrong about T.R. so I can't say she's all bad.

Sidebar: my grip about Grey's is when the women would sleep with George they'd go to him a week later and say, sobbing, like SOBBING: "Sleeping with you George was THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE because you are my BEST FRIEND!"

They never felt that way about McSteamy, McDreamy or McCreamy, but George? MISTAKE!

She'll be doing Hallmark Christmas movies in six months.

I think she would do well in a sitcom.

Too late to back peddle bitch, it's all over. And let's be honest, you weren't all that to begin with.

yada yada yada, every star post-Golden Age and post-80s sucks, yada yada yada

yada yada yada today sucks yada yada yada

Heigel was absolutely A-list for a time. She won an Emmy, starred in the number TV drama, did Knocked Up, 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth, which together did half a billion dollars at the box office. It may not have lasted long, but she was definitely considered a-list.

That said, she needs to stop with these bi-annual apology tours. All they do is dredge up shit from 10-15 years ago. Emma Roberts beat the shit out of Evan Peters and bit his face and fucking nobody ever brings that up and she's working steadily. Lea Michele is a twat on set. Charlie Sheen was a coke monster and they paid him millions. Heigel fucked up. She's not the first and she won't be the last. Girl, move the fuck on and stop acting like you deserve to be publicly flogged.

R2 so you're saying dl doesn't NOT like fat or black people? But then why do so many fetishize big black cock?

R60 I almost didn't recognize his wife, KaDee. She kind of looks like Katie Cassidy there.

R74 I do too.

I wonder if she regrets doing My Father The Hero?? Her character is practically a sociopath.
