Katherine Doesn't Like Her Dirty Laundry Aired

Katherine Heigle is a bit upset with her bosses over at Touchstone for going public about the contract negotiations. After reports came out that Heigl had dropped out of contract talks, Touchstone responded by saying,
"We have a long term contract to ensure she'll be with the show for several years to come." Also in the statement, they said they offered her a "significantly higher pay package."
Now, People reports that Heigle is coming out with a statement of her own.

"I am embarrassed that this has become a public matter and disappointed that Touchstone felt it necessary to divulge private employment information," Heigl, 28, said in a statement Thursday. "I had hoped I would be able to deal with this issue confidentially with my bosses. I dropped out of the renegotiation simply because I wanted to treat myself with the respect I was not getting from them. No matter how unhappy I am about their decision to respond to this publicly, I continue to be passionate about and committed to this character."
Well, the good news is that Izzy isn't going anywhere! It's a shame to hear that there is so much trouble over there in Grey's land though. Between this and the Isaiah mess, I just hope they all stick it out and keep churning out fantastic shows.
