Laurie Metcalf Defends Her Work With Scott Rudin
""He talked about his therapy, he apologized, he owned what he said, he reflected on it. He was in the process of rehabilitation. So I just think that, unless we think there is no possibility of real rehabilitation, then we shouldn't ask people to try and do it.""
""I knew you would ask me at some point. It's so touchy. It's so hard.""
""When no other producers wanted to do the show, The New Yorker now reports that Metcalf 'threatened to quit' the company if it didn't relinquish the rights to the production.""
