Amy Adams’ ‘Today’ Show Interview Cancelled Following her Refusal to Discuss Sony Email Scandal

NBC's "Today" show recently axed its interview with Academy award-winning actress Amy Adams following her refusal to discuss the Sony email hacking scandal, the Hollywood Reporter reports.

Adams is one of many celebrities whose names are involved in the massive Sony email hack. One particular hacked Sony email revealed that Adams made less money than her "American Hustle" co-stars, Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale.

When Adams was asked to talk about the email by "Today" show executives, she refused and the "Today" show abruptly cancelled her appearance on the show, according to THR.

Following the cancellation, a "Today" show spokesperson told THR that the show "doesn't allow guests to put restrictions on interviews."

"In this case, after hours of discussion we felt uncomfortable with the demands being made, and we determined the best course of action for all parties involved was to cancel the interview," the spokesperson added.

TWC, the distributors of Adams' newest film, "Big Eyes," also released a statement expressing their continued support of the 40-year-old actress, despite the "Today" show cancellation, says THR.

"We firmly stand behind Amy Adams ... Amy decided to speak up for herself and express her disappointment that 'Today' would feel the need to ask her a question she did not feel comfortable, and rather than respect her opinion or continue the discussion, the reaction was to pull her appearance from the show."

Adams later commented on the "Today" cancellation during an interview with USA Today and admitted that she was "confused and definitely frustrated" by the experience.

She also revealed that she was "prepared to whatever degree" to discuss the Sony scandal during the "Today" interview despite her reservations on the topic.

"I walked away from the conversation and went up to the room to do the interview. I assumed they were going to ask me about (Sony hacking). And I was prepared for that, to whatever degree I was prepared," she said.

The "Today" show has yet to respond to Adams' comments on USA Today.
