Jennifer Love Hewitt slams ‘mind-blowing’ era when ‘grown men talked to me at 16 about my breasts’
NY Post
As a mother of three, Jennifer Love Hewitt is looking back at her teenage stardom in Hollywood with a fresh perspective.
The 45-year-old told Mayim Bialik on “Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown” podcast Tuesday that after she made “I Know What You Did Last Summer” in 1997, everyone became obsessed with her breasts.
“When ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ came out, everybody said, ‘Oh, I know what your breasts did last summer,’ and that was like the joke,” she said. “And, again, everybody would laugh, so I would laugh. It was supposed to be funny, I guess, right? Like it didn’t register with me that this is a grown man talking to me about my breasts on national television.”
Hewitt added that she doesn’t blame interviewers for asking her questions about her breasts or making jokes.
“It was a culture that was fully accepted. They were allowed to believe that that was appropriate, and I answered the questions, laughed right along with them.”
