@NickiSwift
Do you agree with what Katherine Heigl said?
@CaritheEntertainer
Nicki Swift you not gone post the REAL reason Hollywood stopped casting her?
@elisebond
I kind of agree with her, but I did enjoy those movies. I just don't know why she would agree to do a movie that she found offensive.
@virgo1986ful
No she the one you play her character like that
@sovak75
Yes, but thatās the whole point of the movie.
@maryrav4670
Chess Dry whatās the real reason?
@cinnamonbun216
when katherine comes out calling that grey's anatomy set was toxic, everyone called her crazy and a traitor but now when ellen pompeo says it, she is strong.
like wtf.
@cinnamonbun216
@Lin K i am talking about a particular instance not about her as a whole.
in that instance, nobody believed her and called her dramatic.
i have always loved katherine and will always do.
@tatesinsights8638
