In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, she said,
“It was unbelievably negative, I have to say. The press response was awful and I felt so sorry for him, but in a funny kind of a way I think it almost spurred him on to do his damndest to prove everybody wrong.” (Entertainment Weekly)
The rest is history.
