Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo responds to Katherine Heigl's complaints about the show
"Our first day back was Wednesday and it was – I'm gonna keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them – a 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean," she said at the time.
Heigl was portrayed as difficult to work with as a result, leading to her career being negatively affected. "I remember Heigl said something on a talk show about the insane hours we were working, and she was 100% right," Pompeo said on this week's podcast."Had she said that today, she'd be a complete hero. But she's ahead of her time, made a statement about our crazy hours and of course, let's slam a woman and call her ungrateful."
Pompeo, who didn't defend her former co-star at the time, insisted that Heigl's remarks were truthful and fair.
