A week after a Vanity Fair interview in which she described her hit film “Knocked Up” as “sexist,” Katherine Heigl released a statement, claiming she wanted to clarify her remarks to the magazine.
“It’s important to me to take a minute and clarify the quote about Knocked Up in Vanity Fair. I was responding to previous reviews about the movie the interviewer brought to my attention. My motive was to encourage other women like myself to not take that element of the movie too seriously and to remember that it’s a broad comedy.
“Although I stand behind my opinion, I’m disheartened that it has become the focus of my experience with the movie. The truth is, it was the best filming experience of my career. Every person that was a part of making Knocked Up helped to encourage, support and inspire me. I never intended for anyone to think otherwise.”
In her earlier remarks, the Grey’s Anatomy star said the film “paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It was hard for me to love the movie.”
I love double-talk!

OMG I loved that movie. I laughed forever. But, I also didn’t think that it depicted women in a bad light, I took it kind of the other way and thought “Wow, those guys are assholes and need to grow up” so, I guess it depends on the person how they see it, but I took it the opposite way of Ms. Heigl.

Does she have a speech writer, or was that a written release?
