Sarah Michelle Gellar shut down Jennifer Love Hewitt feud rumors after the duo didn’t take photos together at the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” premiere.
The actress took to Instagram to address fan speculation after Hewitt was missing from Gellar’s photo dump with the cast, including her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., at the Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday night.
“The beef is real,” one person commented, as another added, “It makes me so sad there is ZERO recognition for Jennifer Lover Hewitt.”

Gellar, 48, swiftly responded to the critics in the comments, writing, “For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt who is fantastic in the movie.”
“I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened,” she added. “And unfortunately JLH didn’t come to the after party.
“If you have ever been to one of these it’s crazy. I sadly didn’t get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn’t change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately some things happen only in real life and not online.”
Several fans praised Gellar for addressing feud speculation, with one chiming in, “Thanks for clearing that up queen, was making me a little sad because I love you both so much!”
“Thanks queen, the fans deserved it ❤,” another chimed in.
Others defended the “Scooby Doo” star, adding, “No need to explain. Some people just love to feed into false drama.”
“These people are very disturbing, you can take a picture with whoever you want, queen♥️,” a fan added.
Gellar showed her support for Prinze Jr., 49, in his role in the latest “IKWYDLS” film, which saw him and Hewitt, 46, reprise their roles as Ray Bronson and Julie James, respectively.
The trio starred alongside each other in the original 1997 film, but Gellar, who portrayed Helen Shivers, was killed off.
