Ellen Pompeo Supports Katherine Heigl Speaking Out About Grey’s

“Of course, let’s slam a woman and call her ungrateful when the truth is she’s 100 percent honest, and it’s absolutely correct what she said,” Ellen shared. “And she was f–king ballsy for saying it. And she was telling the truth. She wasn’t lying. Also, when you’re younger, you’re so excited to be there and you’re so happy to be invited to the party that you’re willing to do whatever it is they’re asking you to do.”
 
In 2009, Katherine candidly spoke about her workdays during an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman. “Our first day back was Wednesday and I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them, it was a seventeen-hour workday,” Katherine said at the time, adding that it was “cruel and mean.”
