Does Everyone Still Hate Katherine Heigl? A Thoroughly Unscientific Grantland Survey | Grantland »

I find this entire article disgusting. Let’s bash Katherine Heigl because one time she called Knocked Up sexist (I like Knocked Up, but it IS egregiously sexist at times, even if it is semi-meta about it) and because she left Grey’s Anatomy because they turned her character into a psychopathic ghost-fucking cancer patient. I’m not saying the career choices of Miss Heigl are top-notch, but the blatant sexism seething from every media mention of her is so degrading, especially in a world where male actors can shit all over their movies on almost every occasion without being publicly lambasted (I’m looking at you Sean Penn). Also, the fact that one of the sources in the article calls to question why she adopted a child, claiming that she did it because she wanted a baby without ruining her body, is absurd and immoral. She adopted a baby from Korea because her sister was adopted from Korea and it was an important personal decision for her. And even if that wasn’t the case, why the fuck does this person feel they have the authority to call out a mother’s actions and try to relate it to her lackluster career efforts? Remember when Katherine Heigl was first looked down on because she stood up for her best friend, who was attacked with a gay slur by a co-star?

Why is it okay that articles like this can even exist? The most upsetting part is that the majority of the nasty comments are from women. I think this is the worst one:

Not only is she the archetype of the skate-by-on-her-blondeness celebrity, she’s also so blatantly insincere that it shines through in her performances. She ruins Knocked Up for me; I’m left so sad for Rogen’s character because he knocked HER up.
