Katherine Heigl on being called 'difficult'

The first incident was when she said her film Knocked Up was a little 'sexist' in 2007 and next when she abstained from the Emmys in 2008 because she did not feel that she was “given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination.” She explained that after she said a couple of things that people didn't like it and soon enough she was labeled to be 'difficult' to work with. Within the knick of time the comments escalated to her being 'ungrateful' and her being 'unprofessional'. The actor asked rhetorically what was the people's definition of 'difficult', a person with an opinion others didn't like?
The Killers actor opened up back then, the more she apologized the more people wanted her to do so and the fear of 'offending' people had led her to react in a negative way. Heigl expressed her perceived bad behavior was condoned when her films were commercially successful and it didn't work otherwise. She stated in the interview that she knew her so-called awful behavior was overlooked as long as her films made money but later her films started to not make quite as much money and her being 'difficult' became a reason to not hire her. During the interview when she was asked if she liked being called Katherine or Katie; she joked and said they can call her anything but 'difficult'.
