Judd Apatow Seth Rogen Rip Katherine Heigl
Actor Seth Rogen and Funny People director Judd Apatow slammed Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl in an appearance on Howard Stern Thursday after the star blasted their 2007 film Knocked Up as “sexist.”
Katherine starred as a fast-track professional who becomes pregnant after a one-night stand with a stranger in the box office comedy. The actress rubbed her former colleagues the wrong way after insisting the film portrays women as “shrews.”
“I gotta say it’s not like we’re the only people she said some batshit crazy things about,” Rogen said. “That’s kind of her bag now.”
The slimmed-down actor even mocked Heigl’s latest romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth, which co-stars Gerard Butler. “That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way,” he quipped.
Apatow, who directed Knocked Up, stepped in to defend Heigl’s remarks, saying: “She probably was doing six hours of interviews and kissing everyone’s ass, and then just got tired and slipped a little bit…And you wait on a phone call that says ‘Sorry, I was tired,” and you know it just never came.”
“I didn’t slip and I was doing fucking interviews all day too… I didn’t say shit!” Rogen shot back.
