Cunt of the Week: Katherine Heigl the Ungrateful

She's got a face you just want to slap!
Oh man, am I over this week's Cunt of the Week? Katherine Heigl has unfortunately been forever ingrained in the public consciousness. However, if you're unfamiliar with the name, it may be because you know her better as the ungrateful cunt who trashes everything that makes her famous.

Katherine started her career in the 90s, most notably with the Disney Channel movie Wish Upon a Star. Yup, that's her. I was disgusted when I learned that, as well. While that will forever be the pinnacle of her career in my mind, her true breaktout came in 2005 when she landed the role of Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy. As her character's name was Izzie, you just knew some annoying shit was about to go down.

I never committed to the series, but apparently Katherine did well, earning an Emmy and SAG Award in addition to various other accolades. Fun story: When she won her Emmy, Katherine, being the basic bitch that she is, said "shit" during the live broadcast and also whined about someone pronouncing her name wrong. I remember watching this and not knowing who she was. "Who the fuck is this bitch?" I believe were my exact words. Luckily, it wasn't all fun and games for Katherine. Around the time of Grey's premiere, she starred in Zyzzyx Road. Never heard of it? Yeah, it only made $30 at the box office and is considered the lowest grossing film of all time. Ha!

Come on. How can this not be the
most desirable woman in America?
Nevertheless, Katherine's successful stint as a model-turned-doctor on the medical drama launched her into stardom. Despite being a chain smoker and looking a decade older than she actually was, she was consistently ranked as one of the most desirable women in men's magazines. In 2007, she starred in Knocked Up as a television journalist who lowers her standards and sleeps with Seth Rogen. The movie was a huge success. This is where Katherine first made her cuntitude so evident. Ever the feminist, Katherine called Knocked Up "a little sexist," explaining that it "paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys." Um... Did you ever think that you're just so fucking unlikable as a human being that it's impossible for you to portray any of your characters as anything other than shrews? Probably not. Thankfully, the public did not react well to these comments and called Katherine an ungrateful hypocrite, among other things. She tried to backpedal her statement, but ain't nobody got time for her bullshit.

The cunt struck again in 2009 when Katherine withdrew her name from Emmy submissions, claiming that she had not been given good enough material on that season of Grey's Anatomy to warrant a nomination. UM... (1) Perhaps it wasn't the material that was lacking, but your ability as a fucking actor; (2) Maybe you should thank your lucky stars that despite your atrocious so-called acting, you got an Emmy nomination out of it anyway. Katherine had hoped to pass off this fuckery as an act of professional integrity, but everybody understood that it was a passive aggressive attack on the show that made her famous. Showrunner Shondra Rhimes stated that while she wasn't offended by Katherine's decision, the lack of what Katherine would consider Emmy-worthy material was due to the fact that Katherine herself had requested a light work load to focus on her film career. Yeah, because if you're not given challenging material on Grey's Anatomy, you're sure to find it on films such as 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth, and Killers.

In the 2009-10 season of Grey's Anatomy, Izzie Stevens appeared only sporadically, despite ABC's announcement that Katherine was expected to remain on board for the entire season. Being the class act that she is, Katherine stopped showing up for work halfway through the season without warning. Bitch was immediately let go from her contract. Honestly, what a professional. We should all be more like Katherine. Earlier this year, Katherine expressed interest in returning to the show. #Desperate #Flop

There are many ways to be cunts, but the worst cunts are those who are ungrateful for the blessings in their life. In other words, don't look a gift cunt in its mouth.
