The '90s have returned courtesy of the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel/reboot, and unfortunately, so has '90s celebrity feud gossip. Specifically, rumors of a Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar feud have come back with a vengeance. And while Jennifer recently admitted she hasn't spoken to Sarah since she was 18 years old, that doesn't mean there's any bad blood.
'I honestly don't even know what that was or how that all came to be,' Jennifer said in an interview with Vulture when asked about the supposed feud. 'I just think people don't want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?'
Granted, she said, she and Sarah haven't spoken since the release of the original film back in 1997, but that's why she finds the idea of a feud is so laughable. 'Literally, we've not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That's why it's so funny to me,' she continued. 'On my side, we're good. I have no idea where this is coming from.'
Sarah has also addressed rumors of a feud. After the former co-stars failed to pose for photos together at the new I Know What You Did Last Summer premiere, Sarah took to social media to clear things up on her side. 'For everyone asking—I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,' she wrote in a comment on Instagram. 'I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately JLH didn't come to the after party.'
She continued, adding that she didn't get official red carpet photos with many members of the cast. 'Unfortunately some things happen only in real life and not online,' she concluded.
In other words: Jennifer and Sarah are both very busy people with their own careers and lives that don't involve online gossip. Maybe this story is less of a Hollywood rivalry and more like 27-year-old celebrity gossip that refuses to die.
