Jennifer Love Hewitt Confirms 28-Year Silence with Sarah Michelle Gellar Ahead of 2025 Reboot

Jennifer Love Hewitt has revealed that she has not spoken to her I Know What You Did Last Summer co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar since the original film's release in 1997, but she insists there is no feud or bad blood between them. Hewitt described the rumors of a rift as unfounded and attributed them to the media's preference for drama over simple truths, emphasizing that their lack of contact is just a natural drifting apart rather than tension. Both actresses reprised their roles for the 2025 reboot, with Hewitt returning as Julie James and Gellar appearing in a cameo as Helen Shivers; Freddie Prinze Jr. also returned in the reboot. Although the two did not pose together at the premiere, Gellar has denied any conflict, explaining that she did not see Hewitt at the event and did not attend the after-party. The reboot blends nostalgia with new characters and storylines, drawing on the original film's legacy while introducing fresh dynamics. This situation highlights how celebrity relationships can be misconstrued and how narratives of rivalry often overshadow more mundane realities.
