OlderKatherine Heigl Slaps ‘Greys’ Writers in Face
Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl said on Wednesday that she did not put her name in for Emmy consideration this year because she did not feel she was given material to justify it.
Now, a Grey’s Anatomy insider fights back and says, “The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material?” the insider told EW. “It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.”
Last year Katherine was advised by her own manager/mother that she “didn’t have a shot in hell of winning,” and made a point of telling the Primetime Emmy Awards audience in her speech.
Grey’s Anatomy has slipped in the ratings this past season but is still a top 10 show.

Heigl is just speaking her mind and she shouldn’t be blasted for doing so. The truth is that the writers really did not give her character much to work with this season, and even if a top actor were to play her part they may still struggle to win an emmy over this insignificant role of Izzie Stevens this Seasons. Heigl is only stating what she feels and she shouldn’t need to cover up for the writers or say anything otherwise.
Hmmmm I think I sense the death of a supporting character next season……………..ha
Katherine needs to get over herself and stop biting the hand that feeds her.
she’s an ungrateful ***** who needs her untalented ass fired
Speaking her mind? She’s biting the hand that feeds her.
she could have pulled out without the blasting her writers but that would require her not being a selfish diva *****. give her 2 lines next season writers — better yet don’t write for her at all.
who the hell will want to write for her in this movie career she wants? she blasted seth rogan she blasted grey’s anatomy. the girl needs to do what she told isaiah and just not freaking talk period.
She is part of a ensemble cast, sometimes she will be window dressing. Ms. bankable star also blasted the “Knocked Up” movie. So I guess next she’ll be writing, directing and producing.
If she had a problem with the show go directly to Shonda and sit down face to face. There’s plenty of out of work actors who would trade places with her in a heartbeat. Nothing wrong with a woman speaking her mind but how about some decorum?
Snaggle tooth speaks again…
it’s ok if she feels that way, she has a right to it, but c’mon…”speaking her mind”?? that’s just rude… I love Izzy, don’t get me wrong, but this is a true example of being ungrateful…just shut up and do your job!
What are you people talking about, everytime people say no to something like this you all just assume it’s a slap in the face to the writers. Maybe she just wants to give someone else a chance. To me she seems like a very genuine person that is not greedy. Did any of you people ever think of that. Stop making a big thing out of nothing and stirring up **** all the time.
I understand were she comes from, but she shouldn’t have made her
“feelings” about the script public, she should of have talked to the writers instead of going public.
she is getting too big for her boots, 27 dresses sucked, the chick who plays “fern mayo” in jawbreakers made me laugh more than she did!! LOL
People seem to be forgetting, Katherine included, that ALL shows suffered last year due to the writer’s strike. Once the strike was over, writer’s tried to get everything they’d had planned for the season into fewer episodes.
So it’s understandable that some shows were not up to par with previous seasons because in previous seasons they didn’t have to deal with a writer’s strike and cut episodes.
It has been reported she wants out of her Grey’s contract because of her burgeoning film/producing career. Ya think this latest has something to do with that?? Hmmm?
I believe people should always be honest and truthful… however, there is a difference between grateful/with class versus ZERO class/arrogant… clearly KH is trying extremely hard to tell us who she really is…
she has such a BIG MOUTH!!
sweet lord, just take the nomination, and smile!
be thankful people still hire you!

That is her opinion. But she also shows lack of decorum. Maybe she thinks that she is being a smart.
Does she ever stop whining? She also bad-mouthed Knocked Up. The sad thing is it would have been a better movie except she sucked in it. She was NEVER believable in that role. Almost managed to ruin a very good movie.
She has a speak first, think second or not at all mentality. Her outrageous comments will continue to come back to bite her in the tush.
She is really getting annoying, isn´t she?
And that stupid hairstyle doesn´t help either…

please b*tch, i’m tried of this wh*re she can’t act she 95% ain’t gonna win an emmy of anything ever in her suck acting career
ONE HIT Wonder Hegial
When I first read this, I thought that she made a formal statement to the press about this. Last night I saw the footage of paps surrounding her walking down the street asking her why she withdrew her name. She probably should have just said “no comment”, but she didn’t. Not a shocker, since she hasn’t been shy about voicing her opinion in the past.
I have no problem with people being honest - I’d prefer that than people who say what they think everyone wants to hear. She obviously wants off the show, but she has a contract she can’t get out of. Hopefully she realizes that she’s burning bridges saying things like this in public. Maybe there is no other way for her to get herself out of her contract?
“oh snap”, hate to burst your bubble, but she already won the Emmy for this role.
Classless talentless chain smoking trash, not even pretty.
Um… I would have done the same thing?
If I felt like I didn’t deserve the nomination I would have given it up to someone who was more worthy of it.
So… I guess I’m the only one on her side.
Her character on Grey’s didn’t have a storyline that would deem her worthy of an Emmy. This past season was more about Meredith and Calli, the whole lesbian thing and George.
Izzie’s storyline wasn’t prominent. It’s not a shot at the writers per se, because her storyline wasn’t focused as much because the other characters need more developing.
So, I agree with Katherine.
