Contrary to what people believe, there is no bad blood between Sarah Michelle Gellar and her former co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt.
In case you missed it, at the New York premiere of the new TV series Dexter: The Original Sin earlier this week, Geller appeared on Extra to hear Hewitt’s reboot of What We Did Last Summer. I was asked if I knew if I would be returning to the edition. Apparently confused by the question, the actress simply replied, “I have nothing to do with that,” and walked away from the interview with a smile.
Fans deemed Geller’s response shady, especially considering rumors of an on-set feud between the two dating back to the original 1997 slasher movie. However, Gellar set the record straight and addressed the viral red carpet moment on her Instagram Stories on Friday.
“Aspiring actors, beware: this deer-in-the-headlights reaction is a result of someone excited to see so many old friends in one project, but who has already foolishly forgotten the meaning of an NDA once this month. “Perfect when you’re in a pinch,” she wrote. – She recently shared a photo of a scene from the new set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, but she said she was “a little confused” about posting it.
Drama aside, Hewitt announced his return to the reboot on Instagram by posting a snapshot of himself staring into a mirror covered in sticky notes that read, “I know what you did last summer!” Announced. She wrote in the caption, “It’s never too late to go back. Julie James is back and we know what she’ll be doing next summer!” Geller reshared the post.
This week, on the latest episode of the podcast “I’ve Never Said This Before,” Hewitt also responded to rumors of an alleged feud with Geller and whether he asked her to kill Helen Shivers, the character she played in the original film. .
“I was 18. They didn’t take script notes from me. We all went through that experience together and figured everything out. And I root for her and Freddie.” she told host Tommy DiDario. “I think it’s the cutest thing in the world that they’ve been married for 100 years and have kids. It’s, like, adorable. So it’s really funny to see things like this.”
