## Transcript

Katherine Heigl shoots down rumors about her diva personality. The former Grey's Anatomy star spoke to reporters in Beverly Hills, California on June 13 to promote State of Affairs, her new drama on NBC. But the 35- year- old actress also took a moment to address her Hollywood reputation. I certainly don't see myself as being difficult. I would never intend to be difficult. If I ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional. The Huffington Post included Heigl on a list of celebs who are rumored to be difficult to work with back in 2013. But a few days earlier they posted an interview with actor Patrick Wilson in which he fervently defends the actress, whom he worked with on the film North Of Hell.

I had the greatest experience working with her. She showed up. Worked her tail off, super funny, super gracious, great to the cast, great to the crew, you know, and, and was a total pro. The dawn of Heigl's unfavorable reputation was her withdrawal from contending for an Emmy Award in 2008. She pulled her name from consideration and said she wasn't given the material to warrant an Emmy nomination for her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens in Grey's Anatomy. She had won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for the same role the year before, but perhaps Heigl will find another chance at an Emmy nom with State of Affairs which premiers on NBC November, 27th.

Thanks for watching, I ` m Jay Strubberg.
