When asked about how she feels about Jennifer’s Body becoming a cult classic. Here is what she said at the podcast

It’s a nice circle. I didn’t expect it to grow like that. But to see it being appreciated now, obviously makes me feel really good. I’m happy for Diablo (the writer of the film) and I’m happy for Karyn (the director of the film).

All these people put in a lot of hard work into making a really quality project that was panned for reasons that had nothing to do with them. A lot of it was just about my image at the time and who I was in the media at the time and the backlash to that. The movie never really stood a chance.
