I've seen plenty of male characters in movies that are 'toxic' but realize its fiction #1 and #2 it isnt a real representation of men.

After watching her exit, I am reminded of 'Arizona's' last season. She spent most of it sleeping around and THEN coming up with the cabinet for maternity floors. It feels like they 'quietly quit' the character. I like watching KH. I've never met her but I think it would be cool. I wonder why George left, Callie, Derek, lexie, Jackson, and Karev. Especially karev. He was my favorite and I bawled when he narrated the letters. I can't help but wonder if the set is toxic

actors don't take roles based on whether they like the character's personality. actors don't write their own roles and unless you're a top line A-list actor you can't always be picky about what roles are offered to you. as one of the other commentors said, she's a stellar actress for being able to believably play characters she's not fond of.

I had seen some of the movies that Katherine was in, but not recently.
To be fair, women were often portrayed in Hollywood movies in relatively unflattering ways, so I can definitely see her point of view.
However, as an actress, she would and should be able to express criticism of her own craft... in that regard, anyone working in any field should have the freedom to do so without fearing their reputations would suffer as a result.

Unfortunately, most people everywhere cannot really express honest opinions about their jobs for example because they could easily get fired for something their bosses don't agree with. We know the law says one thing and is supposed to protect an individual, but realistically, an organisation can easily provide any kind of 'reason' for firing a person even thoug criticism was the real culprit.

At any rate, I'm glad she is getting new work and putting the past behind her (along with the industry).

Katherine Heigl deserved better!
After 10 years she is finally getting her career back but she still lost 10 years of what honestly should have been her best years (like she was the perfect age, absolutely gorgeous (she still is but she’s still aged because she’s human everyone ages so yeah she does look different even though she’s still beautiful) an absolutely amazing actress who could play any role)
She did NOTHING wrong. She spoke the truth. She stuck up for herself and her friends. She spoke out about all the things that everyone else was too scared to say. She was brave, and if she did what she did back then today (like if all of this was taking place right now in todays world) she would have been PRAISED for what she said, but instead she was labeled “difficult” and “ungrateful” and “rude” and was black listed by Hollywood. She spoke nothing but the truth and deserved better.
