Emmy award organizers responded to her claims by issuing a statement in ir defence. Television Acemy said:

" one person was singled out. ... Every performer/producer and writer/producer was asked to justify ir producer credits.

She also wrote that since she worked very hard, it was really humiliating for her as she h put so much effort into writing show and organization did t think she was capable of doing it.
