Katherine Heigl Denies She's Rude on Set Following Attack From Former 'Grey's Anatomy' Director Shonda Rhimes
On Saturday, Katherine Heigl conducted a Facebook Q&A with her fans and addressed rumors claiming that she is rude and difficult to work with on set, Us Magazine reports.
Heigl explained that though she doesn't feel she is rude, she is still "just like any human being," adding that she's "made mistakes and unwittingly or carelessly spoken or acted, but I always try to make any wrong right."
Heigl also added that she "would never, ever," intentionally be rude on set.
E! News reports that Heigel's Facebook response comes right on the heels of her "Grey's Anatomy" director Shonda Rhimes blasting the "Knocked Up" actress for being an alleged "a**hole" on set. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rhimes revealed that she implemented a no "a**hole" policy on the set of her current show "Scandal." Rhimes explained that the policy stemmed from Heigl's problematic behavior while starring in her show, "Grey's Anatomy."
"There are no Heigls in ['Scandal'] ... I don't put up with bulls--t or nasty people. I don't have time for it," Rhimes said.
Rhimes and Heigl's brewing feud took a head back in 2008 when the actress turned down her Emmy nomination and blasted Rhimes for not providing her with enough material on "Grey's Anatomy" to warrant an Emmy nomination. Heigl later left the TV show in pursuit of new roles.
Heigl currently stars as Charlie Tucker in the upcoming NBC series "State of Affairs" -- a series that Heigl explained to her Facebook fans completely "drew me in!"
"I love that [Charlie] is a strong, intelligent, powerful woman who has these weaknesses and vulnerabilities," she explained on Facebook. "I love her patriotism and sense of duty and honor. I love her relationship with the president played by the incredible Miss Alfre Woodard."
NBC's "State of Affairs" premieres on Nov. 17 at 10/9c.
