There’s shit that he’s credited for, where I’m like, ‘‘Hmm, I don’t know, I don’t know if you did anything on that.’ The point is he’s gotten some credit for shit. And, you know, it’s whatever. I don’t think I need to work with him again. I don’t think I need to work with him in the future. I know that…I think it was definitely nice of me to work with him.”

The women continue to engage in publicity for their respective projects, some in person, which has alarmed the publicists and actors who are working the circuit alongside them.” The big tentpole moves out this month are really just Matrix, West Side Story and Spider-Man, no? Mayyyyybe Nightmare Alley and Don’t Look Up, but those feel like a stretch.
