Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in the slasher film « I Know What You Did Last Summer » together in 1997.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar haven’t talked in many summers.
The actress, 46, revealed that she has not kept in touch with her “I Know What You Did Last Summer” co-star, 48, since starring in the 1997 slasher together.
“I honestly don’t even know what that was or how that all came to be,” Hewitt said about speculation of a possible feud between her and Gellar. “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?”
“I haven’t seen Sarah,” she explained. “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. People were like, ‘Say something back.’ And I’m like, ‘What am I going to say? I’ve not seen her.’ On my side, we’re good. I have no idea where this is coming from.”
Hewitt portrayed Julie James in the 1997 movie and the 2025 version. In the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” Gellar played Helen Shivers, the beauty queen who was murdered.
Ryan Phillippe starred as Barry William Cox, who was also killed the first time around, while Gellar’s husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., reprised his role as Ray Bronson in the sequel.
Gellar also addressed rumors of bad blood after she and Hewitt didn’t pose together for pictures on the red carpet of the sequel’s premiere Monday night.
“For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn’t come to the after-party,” the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star commented on Instagram Wednesday.
“If you have ever been to one of these, it’s crazy,” continued Gellar. “I sadly didn’t get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn’t change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.”
While on the carpet, Gellar posed for pictures with her husband of 23 years and her former “Buffy” co-star, Seth Green.
The “Ringer” alum also snapped pictures with the film’s director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and the slasher’s new star, Madelyn Cline.
