star had some positive words to say about Heigl and the way she spoke out about the working conditions back in the day on the ABC drama.
“I remember Heigl said something on a talk show about the insane hours we were working. She was 100 percent right,” Pompeo said to, her guest on the show. “Had she said that today, she’d be a complete hero. But she [was] ahead of her time. She made a statement about our crazy hours, and of course, let’s slam a woman and call her ungrateful.
“Some of you may remember over 10 years ago I was very vocal about the absurdity of the working hours crews and actors were being forced into by production,” she wrote. “Even Diane Sawyer interviewed me and not so kindly informed me ‘no one feels sorry for you.” I very publicly and for many years after got my ass kicked for speaking up. We are making entertainment. We are not solving world hunger or curing cancer. We are telling stories.
