I loved how Ellen validated her. I think with time and experience Ellen has also gained a lot of understanding for what happened and Im glad to see her validating KH.

yeah I remember Heigl was said to be "difficult to work with" and I kinda accepted she was a btch but I guess theres some sexism involved??? Can you explain?

@@edum.6353 It was not sexism it was unprofessional plain & simple. KH came to another actor's defense when he was being bullied for being gay. She was hailed a hero which she really was. But then she started complaining about the long hours and other things on set she did not like. OK. But then she came out and denounced the writers because she thought she deserved a better storyline. It was an ensemble show. It could not be all about Izzie all the time. So she became viewed as problematic but rightfully so on some level. If she was that unhappy she had many other options, including the choice to quit. Biting the hand that feeds you is never the way to go about it.

​@snailmail2135 Johnny Depp situation was WAY different then what she's talking about. Everybody loves Johnny & if him or any men bring up certain topics like Katherine did nobody will cancel them or take them out. They listen to them change it & move on. Different for women.

Preach! I love her as a person & actress. She's an amazing strong woman I miss her on greys & what's funny the rest of the actors actually talked & brought up on camera exactly what Katherine had said & not a damn thing did they react or do to them, just her. She deserved better

Her crying over Denny's body still haunts me to this day 😢 Her cries were so real.

@@ImTheGirlAtHome Girl, I highly recommend Firefly Lane. It’s Heigl’s best work to date. Just when you thought she’s done and won’t be able to top her iconic Grey’s Anatomy scenes, she came back swinging like a wrecking ball in Firefly Lane. She deserves another Emmy for playing Tully Hart.

@@ariannaventi4424 omg really? Adding it to my watchlist now! I have no doubt she'll be great in it, she's a phenomenal actress.

Very well said. That scene is at another level. And watching her on Suits, it was completely different character and the way she portrayed it. Just wowwww

I am only on season 7 but I miss her already. I feel I am losing interest in the show after she vent out

True. I've always been on Heigl 's side.

@@butzimperial2317me too. I’ve never even seen the show. But you know Katherine Heigl has integrity and honesty. I never liked Seth Rogen and Judd Apatao after they bashed her. Man children.

They have not brought her back but have shown her ending on the show with Alex. :)

Agreed. I would hear about the episodes that got her blacklisted and… they just didn’t seem that bad? I liked that she was honest about what she wanted. She got a little too big for her britches but not enough to warrant being completely blacklisted like she was.

@@hollywoodshopaholic I honestly don't think she got too big for her britches - being honest about the writing on Grey's by not wanting her name submitted for Emmy consideration, and calling a Judd Apatow -- you know, the boy's club director (and I say this as someone who's generally enjoyed his work) -- movie sexist is just, like, integrity? The Emmys thing was a bit rude but c'mon, Shonda is notorious for making shows that start pretty good and then quickly go off the rails, to the point where I can't bear starting a new Shonda show because I know I'll get burned no matter how much I enjoy the first season. Saying what we're all thinking is not being too big for your britches.

@@geegeezlouis86 She and her momager would demand much higher salaries for her films than what even bigger stars would ask for. She had only just become an It Girl at that point and most of the public still didn’t know who she was, but she thought she was a much bigger power player than she actually was. Overestimating your public influence IS called being too big for your britches.

@@ElMensajero-hs4qz Yep and if I was Katherine I would never talked to Pompus ever again

@@truelies2667 I think Ellenv did kind of Haphazardly apologized to Katie. I could be wrong, but I remember seeing an article where Ellen was saying you know Katherine was right. About the long hours and about being quite underpaid etc. I mean, I know Katherine spoke out about a lot of other stuff too.

Me too! I loved Oh's character the most. Miss her hugely 😢

Yesssss

or is she fkn not tired lf ring of b ying sin d k8t ed?!

My favourite moment!!! I love her!

I immediately thought of the blonde in Bridesmaids “GET AWAY FROM ME”

yes, KH was pitted as the 'bad guy' when in fact, she never was. she just stood up for herself and for the others that follow

If a man had done what Katherine did…. A Hero.

It’s so disappointing to see women labeled in a negative way when we speak up for ourselves. Especially by other women.

No she isnt. Many, many, MANY women before her have done the exact same thing. While I applaud her for taking a stand, she's no pioneer.

​@@blackspider1405No, they didn't like Heigl. Heigl was ahead of her time and she fought for healthy work conditions all alone and now be quiet for a lifetime

Agreed! And the worst part was, she was right! She was absolutely correct about the Emmy situation. And they all came after her. Nowadays, if an actress said what Katie said, nobody would have an issue

She was ahead of the times with what people do not in this social media generation. Props to her for speaking up at a time where it wasn't "trendy" to.

@@jamariareese481 im sorry did Ellen say Katherine was ahead of her time? which part did she say it? thankyou :)))

@@hotstuff400 47:55

why? could you please elaborate? Thank you

​@Nana Sakvarelidze kathryn heigl was bashed through the media for speaking her mind about negative things about greys anatomy, like Isaiah Washington or harsh working conditions on set. She rarely held back her tongue about those things and was labeled difficult to work with or egotistical (supposedly around the time of winning her first emmy for the show). Pompeo has no problem doing things like that.

@@Shaye.J Because Ellen would not face any backlash like Katherine did!

@@Shaye.J But she did just talk about she didn’t of course go into deep detail but it was so obvious that what it was she talking about when she mentioned her “soap box” and “mega-phone” so she did and she even admitted to it about how she let herself be a victim to the rejection she got. She saying that she knows now what she didn’t know then.

@@amber.ren_1995 that was actually my favorite part of the whole video. I wanted her to go more in depth, but loved loved loved the part her when she says she started trusting herself again when it came to who she actually is! So powerful. I feel like with all the rumors, they never really gave examples of how she was "difficult" or "ungrateful". Now Ellen is applauded for maybe even that same attitude.

I thought this too! Very gracious of her!

I agree.

Wait how was she the reason? I thought the network and show runner were the reason for her leave?

@Anna Katie spoke up about not feeling like she deserved an Emmy nomination due to the quality of her work, which at the time her storylines weren't great. So she asked to be taken out of the running. Shonda and co, felt slighted that she said that. And it opened up a floodgate situation that essentially got her fired. It was ridiculous, especially now when women can speak up and disagree and critique their work or show. Katie didn't get to do that at the time and was labeled difficult and it's sad.

@@Anna-ko4hq see response below :)

Ellen was so right for that, and you can see it now; how so many popular (or it girls) female celebrities are so praised one day and then if they make the smallest mistake everyone suddenly hates her.

Amazing statement. I wholeheartedly agree.

FUCK YES !!!!!!!!!!!!

that's just straight up victim blaming??

@@meeritic7565 why do you think it's okay to blame victims?

a very adult conversation where they both got to speak their mind without drama.

@@tcrump212IsLmbrJck_t right about 42:00 is the conversation about intimacy coordinators. It’s part of the larger conversation about stress on sets and the exploitative nature of a lot of what actors are asked to do, particularly young actors, that starts at about 40:10. Hope that helps!

I mean they both gave different sides of the argument. They weren’t really disagreeing. They seemed aware of the positives and negatives of intimacy coordinators. The discussion just resulted in them giving alternate perspectives. Ellen did say “the intention behind it is good” and “the execution is sometimes weird”

Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell also aired a slight disagreement in their convo, which was about whether acting should emphasise audience entertainment or artistry for its own sake.

Interesting

Just finished binge watching and I loved it

She’s an amazing actress

Ellen is the main character she has directed produced the show where Katherine was a supporting character so yeah that was them saying stay in your lane be happy to have a job.

Yeah, it was so pleasant. I love that she stands by her opinions and what she believes is best for the character. I mean, she made Meredith what she is. However, it must be really frustrating to doesn't have control after all these years.

AMEN.

@@willpazmino6744 But let me guess. Heigl is not allowed to have an opinion about Izzie Stevens or any of her other characters. Lmao. The hypocrisy

​@@truelies2667 Let me ask you something when I was disrespectful to Katherine Heigl in my comment? I love her character on the show and never wanted her to leave. I know that she wasn't allowed to stand up for herself, and when she did. People found her challenging, but that is bullshit. She deserves better, but Ellen Pompeo doesn't have control over that. She was barely known when she started the show and gained less than Patrick Dempsey until he left, even though she is the main character. It took her a lot of time to get what she deserved. So, you won't be mad at me. I was talking about Ellen, but I love Katherine. Hollywood and Shonda Rhimes owe her an apology.

LITERALLY

Well said

Gen Z, really? She’s a functioning mature woman who stood up for herself. If you think it has to do with labels such as “Gen this or Gen that” you haven’t matured enough.

@@I.R_Inori i think op is referencing the current trend in business/general media of 'calling out' gen z now demanding much more respect in the workplace and framing it as a bad thing

OP is missing the entire point then which Gen Z largely seems to do as a whole when they routinely dismiss or overlook the shoulders of powerful women upon which they stand who came before them. Katherine Heigl wasn’t the Gen Z of anything. She was a woman of her time; she just wasn’t appreciated or respected for it. You can honor and recognize her boldness without misattributing it to a younger, idealized generation which (like every generation before it) will someday be looked back upon as “behind the times”.

@@RoyKoopaling ok my dude. it’s completely true. no one likes a powerful confident women bc it intimidated them.

@@avalambert2404 I think this is something insecure women tell themselves to feel less bad.

@@RoyKoopaling you’re a guy right? you probably are if you’re talking that way. Women are held back from important positions, from job openings, etc bc men in specific are to intimidated by how smart and strong they are. A confident women scares people bc they know they can’t stop her. it’s completely unfair to speak like that and it’s really just ignorant. Men do not have to deal with this issue. A confident man is welcomed by the world whereas a confident women is shunned. Insecurities don’t matter in this conversation. What you’re saying is trying to excuse the way men hold women back. That it’s not a man’s fault but that the women is just insecure.

@@avalambert2404 Where’s the evidence for any of that? Because I could point to thousands of strong, confident women who are leading in every industry. Like I said, I really think this is something insecure women tell themselves to feel better.

They should start a podcast or something!

girl explain, i haven’t watched greys in a few years, im behind on the drama

@@maddiedemar4352 Katherine wanted to leave the show and made sure she wasn't happy with the way the show was going. She even rejected an Emmy nomination, saying she didn't think she deserved the recognition, since the writers didn't give her enough material. Shonda took that very personal and let her leave the show before the end of her contract and a whole campaign to basically destroy Katherine's career started, which in some way was pretty successful.

@@caiofernandes2980 Not to mention it basically black listed her from working on any projects for YEARS. She knew what she wanted and knew what she was worthed and people deemed that behavior to be “egotistic” or being a “diva.” I’m so glad she is back in the game, and taking back her narrative.

​@@caiofernandes2980 lol there was no whole campaign to end her career, r u kidding me? Heigl came off as entitled. She said so much silly shit in public that ppl got tired of hearing about her in the media. Shonda said her peace and moved on. Even Ellen, when asked about Heigl returning was like yea that's not gonna happen 😂😂

Shonda didn’t do anything to her. She merely removed a big star to protect her staff writers. Heigl had made a stupid and unnecessary statement that made it impossible for the writers room to get an Emmy that year. Writers are the most under appreciated part of showbiz and winning an Emmy as a young writer can change your career. But because she was a rising film actress it didn’t occur to her that she was hurting peoples careers. She’s still never apologised to “the little people”. She just plays victim and kisses up to Shonda to get back on her shows. Even Ellen at the end is telling her she messed up but she can now be forgiven. Stop using your parasocial relationship with Heigl to deny she did a bad thing.

Omg yes

I know. I’m actually glad she left Grey’s Anatomy just bcuz they were starting to make her character of Izzy Steven’s become really annoying. And whiny and I was starting to not like her anymore. But once she broke off and started doing movies and stuff I loved her movies everything she starred in I loved it thought she was a great actress. So yea back then they were not letting her character grow very much at all. It became very limited. I knew there was a reason I loved her and after hearing this conversation between them just solidified that. ❤ But I love Greys Anatomy. I’ll be 28 in 2 days. And I’ve been watching Greys Anatomy since i was 10 years old. And I was 10 years old the year this show aired back in 2005. And im still watching it. So crazy that I’ve gotten to grow with show over the years through my childhood. I thought it was funny when Ellen mentioned her daughter about wanting to watch it and her daughter being in 6th grade. I was like yea I watched it when I was 10 my dad let me watch it with him and of course if they were scenes I couldn’t watch he just said shield my eyes. Though I don’t remember having to do it a lot bcuz now thinking about it since the show is on ABC my dad probably thought we’ll when it comes to the sex scenes they don’t really show a lot anyway so yea haha. And blood and stuff didn’t bother me and my dad never said anything about having to shield my eyes for those scenes. And guess what I was never traumatized by any of it. But it’s probably bcuz I knew it was just a show and not real. 👍🫶🫶🫶😊

Look up the history yourself, see where her career is and decide for yourself.

It actually took her years to get the pay she deserved as the name sake of the show. The men always made more than her. So, yes, she should make all that money. She earned it.
