Introduction

In a surprising twist that sent fans into a frenzy, Sarah Michelle Gellar recently addressed rumors of a feud with former co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt. This speculation erupted online after Gellar's reaction during a red carpet interview at the premiere of her new series, "Dexter: Original Sin."

Background on the Speculation

The drama began when Gellar was asked about the upcoming sequel to the iconic horror film "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Although she will not reprise her role—having met a chilling end in the original film—Gellar visited the Australian set to support her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., who is returning as well. Adding to the excitement, she is close friends with the reboot's director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, known for her work on the Netflix movie "Do Revenge."

The Controversial Interview Response

However, when asked about Hewitt potentially returning for the sequel, Gellar’s response—"I have nothing to do with that"—was perceived by some as dismissive, leading to rampant speculation across social media, including X (formerly Twitter), where the video gained over 5 million views.

Gellar's Clarification on Instagram

In response to the growing chatter, Gellar took to Instagram to clarify her sentiments. She shared a post from the pop culture account DeuxMoi, which accompanied the EXTRA interview and speculated about her apparent hesitance to discuss the project after previously sharing a set photo that inadvertently broke an NDA. “I thought it was a cute photo but didn’t realize they hadn’t announced filming yet,” she humorously recounted.

Humorously Addressing the Situation

Gellar also posted an Instagram Story that humorously touched on her "deer in the headlights" reaction during the interview, cautioning aspiring actors about the importance of remembering what an NDA entails—especially when excitement overtakes protocol.

Hewitt's Response to the Rumors

Adding to the revelation, Gellar’s updates coincided with an official announcement confirming that Jennifer Love Hewitt would indeed be returning to the franchise, much to the delight of fans. Hewitt herself addressed the whispers of conflict during a podcast interview, where she dismissed any notion that the two had ever been at odds. "I root for her and Freddie. They've been married for 100 years and have kids. It's adorable," she said, pointing out how amusing it is to witness the rumors that have persisted since their time on set.

Conclusion

Ultimately, both stars seem eager to dismiss the ongoing speculation and affirm their mutual respect and camaraderie. As excitement builds for the sequel, it's clear that the bond between these two scream queens remains unbroken—despite what the internet might suggest!
