In 2008, the former co-star of the hit television series found herself at the center of online backlash and public ire for reportedly turning down an Emmy nomination, essentially branding the actress as being difficult to work with.
The year prior, in 2007, Heigl was nominated and won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a drama series for her portrayal of Izzie Stevens. The following year, she says she never submitted her work to be considered for another nomination in part because she wasn't"proud" of it."I just wasn't proud of my work," she explained at the time."I would never be so bold or so arrogant to turn down a nomination. I would take that nomination.
"I was trying to have some integrity. I wasn't trying to be a d***," she said, before adding that her main goal was to also"maintain the integrity of the academy organization."Marie Claire email subscribers get intel on fashion and beauty trends, hot-off-the-press celebrity news, and more.

As a result of the 16-year-old controversy, Heigl said she was essentially shunned from the entertainment industry, adding that she was"shamed" and as a result was more"quiet, polite and sweet" on set to the point that she essentially disappeared.
