Katherine Heigl: "I Stand Behind My Opinion"; Knocked Up Was "Sexist"

Katherine Heigl is clarifying comments she made in the January issue of Vanity Fair about her recent hit comedy Knocked Up.

“It was a little sexist,” the Grey’s Anatomy star, 29, told the magazine, adding: “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys...It was hard for me to love the movie.”

Now Heigl is speaking out again -- this time, to explain better what she meant.

"It's important to me to take a minute and clarify the quote about Knocked Up in Vanity Fair," Heigl tells Usmagazine.com. "I was responding to previous reviews about the movie the interviewer brought to my attention. My motive was to encourage other women like myself to not take that element of the movie too seriously and to remember that it's a broad comedy."

Heigl adds, "Although I stand behind my opinion, I'm disheartened that it has become the focus of my experience with the movie. The truth is, it was the best filming experience of my career. Every person that was a part of making Knocked Up helped to encourage, support and inspire me. I never intended for anyone to think otherwise."
