Jennifer Love Hewitt Reveals Years-Long Silence with Sarah Michelle Gellar After 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' - But Denies Any Bad Blood
Jennifer Love Hewitt is opening up about a surprising revelation: she hasn't spoken to former co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar in years, since their shared experience in the iconic 1997 horror film, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' However, despite the lack of communication, Hewitt insists there's absolutely no animosity between the two actresses.
In a recent interview with People, Hewitt addressed the surprising distance between herself and Gellar. The 'Party of Five' star explained that the two haven't connected since the original film's release, leaving fans wondering what could have caused such a long silence.
“I haven’t talked to Sarah Michelle since then,” Hewitt shared, referring to 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' The film launched both actresses into teen stardom, making the lack of continued connection all the more intriguing to fans.
But don't expect a feud! Hewitt was quick to dispel any rumors of a falling out. “Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?” she questioned, emphasizing the importance of female solidarity in Hollywood. She conveyed a sense of bewilderment at the assumption that two successful women couldn't coexist peacefully without some sort of conflict.
The film, a slasher classic, saw Hewitt and Gellar as teenagers terrorized by a mysterious killer seeking revenge for a dark secret. The movie was a massive success, cementing their places as teen icons of the 90s. A sequel followed in 1998, but Gellar wasn't involved.
Hewitt's comments have sparked a wave of nostalgia and curiosity online. Fans are reminiscing about the film and speculating about the reasons behind the actresses' long silence. While the exact cause remains unknown, Hewitt's reassurance that there's no drama offers comfort to those hoping for a reconciliation between the two stars.
It's a reminder that even in the spotlight, relationships can ebb and flow, and that sometimes, distance doesn't necessarily signify animosity. Perhaps one day, Hewitt and Gellar will reconnect and finally address the years of silence – but for now, fans can rest assured that their past collaboration remains a positive memory, free of any lingering bitterness.
