Jennifer Love Hewitt has shut down rumors of a feud with fellow I Know What You Did Last Summer star Sarah Michelle Gellar, as speculation swirled following the film’s 2025 revival premiere.
Speaking exclusively to The New York Post, Hewitt, 46, addressed the alleged tension, saying, “I honestly remain still so confused by all of that stuff,” and emphasized that media often pits women against each other. She continued, “Nobody asks how often Freddie [Prinze Jr.] and Ryan [Phillippe] have seen each other since the original movie.”
Rumors began when Hewitt and Gellar didn’t pose together on the red carpet at the July 14 premiere. However, Gellar later explained via Instagram that she didn’t see Hewitt at the event due to timing and attending with her kids. “I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,” Gellar wrote.
Hewitt insisted there’s no bad blood, saying, “I have absolutely zero beef with Sarah at all. I applaud her for being a long-standing badass career woman, a mom, wife — all the things that I am, that we have in common.”
The 9-1-1 actress, who shares three kids with actor Brian Hallisay, expressed hope for more sequels, depending on story quality and fan interest.
The original 1997 horror classic saw Hewitt, Gellar, Prinze Jr., and Phillippe play teens haunted by a past accident. Only Hewitt and Prinze Jr.’s characters survived the original. The new 2025 film teases future installments in its post-credit scene.
Despite rumors, the cast appears supportive of each other, and fans may yet see them reunite on-screen again.
