In the summer of 2023, Heigl and her former co-star Ellen Pompeo reunited at [[Variety Studio: Actors on Actors]], where they talked about their time on Grey's Anatomy and Heigl's departure from the show, among other things. Heigl said: “I was so naive. I got on my soapbox, and I had some things to say, and I felt really passionate about this stuff. I felt really strong. I felt so strongly that I also got a megaphone out on my soapbox. There was no part of me that imagined a bad reaction. I felt really justified in how I felt about it and where I was coming from. I've spent most of my life — I think most women do — being in that people-pleasing mode. It's really disconcerting when you feel like you have really displeased everybody. It was not my intention to do so, but I had some things to say, and I didn’t think I was going to get such a strong reaction.” Pompeo responded: “You know what I love? There are two roles women fit into, victim or villain. And the women who are victims are only victims because they don't have the guts to be the villain."<ref>{{cite web|last=Massabrook|first=Nicole|title=Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl Reflect on 'Grey's Anatomy' Drama 13 Years After Izzie's Exit:'I Was So Naive'|date=June 6, 2023|work=[[US Magazine]]|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ellen-pompeo-and-katherine-heigl-reflect-on-greys-anatomy-drama///}}</ref>
