Sarah Michelle Gellar addresses 'feud' with ex co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt
Two days after the red carpet premiere of the I Know What You Did Last Summer revival on July 14, eagle-eyed fans noted the absence of any photos featuring Gellar and Hewitt together, despite both being central to the franchise.
The apparent snub sparked a wave of social media speculation, with users questioning whether the original scream queens had fallen out.
X user @britneyvinyl wrote: 'I'm so sad Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr. did not take a photo together at the 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER' (2025) world premiere. What happened there?!'
@itsjordanapps posted: 'Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt not posing together at the IKWYDLS premiere… we need to open an investigation'
@mich_dev chimed in: 'I'm unreasonably mad that Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar didn't take a picture with Jennifer Love Hewitt on the red carpet of the I Know What You Did Last Summer premiere.'
But according to Gellar, there's no mystery and definitely no feud.
'For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,' Gellar wrote on July 16 in response to comments on her Instagram post recapping the premiere.
'I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately JLH didn't come to the after party.'
Gellar, who shares two children with her husband and original I Know What You Did Last Summer co-star Freddie Prinze Jr., added that the chaotic nature of red carpet events meant she missed the chance to snap photos with much of the cast.
'If you have ever been to one of these it's crazy,' she wrote.
'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.'
The new film sees Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their iconic roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson, while the next generation of Southport locals – played by Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Sarah Pidgeon, Jonah Hauer-King, and Tyriq Withers – face off against the infamous hook-wielding killer.
This isn't the first time Gellar and Hewitt have had to shut down speculation about their relationship.

Back in December, Hewitt addressed longstanding rumors that she had Gellar's character written out of the franchise: 'I was 18. They were not taking script notes from me,' Hewitt joked during an episode of the I've Never Said This Before podcast. More Trending
'All of us were in that experience together, figuring it all out and everything. And I root for her and Freddie.'
She added: 'I think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've been married for 100 years and have kids. It's adorable.'
So, despite the photo gap on premiere night, both stars have made it clear: there's no bad blood, just a case of bad timing.

Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas reveal they're sleeping in separate beds after eight years together
LUCY Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas revealed they sleep in separate bedrooms after eight years together. The couple - who share two children together, son Roman, five, and daughter Lilah, three - opened up about their sleeping arrangements. 3 Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas revealed they sleep in separate bedrooms Credit: Instagram 3 The TV star said she's forced to take drastic action in order to get a good night sleep Credit: Instagram Lucy, who got engaged to Ryan in 2019, admitted she struggles to get decent shut eye thanks to her partner being a "nightmare sleeper". She made the confession on the At Home With The Thomas Brothers podcast, joining her fiance and his two brothers for the latest episode. Lucy explained: "Basically we sleep in separate bedrooms because Ryan is a nightmare sleeper." His brother Adam joked: "He's always trying it on with me," while their sibling and Love Island star Scott quipped: "He always wants a cuddle." They were all left in hysterics, with mum-of-two Lucy saying: "I mean that is annoying..." She continued: "Basically Ryan snores, he sleep talks, he whacks me in his sleep." Ryan cheekily replied: "I weren't asleep darling," leaving them in fits of giggles. TV personality Lucy then explained the reason behind their decision to sleep separately. She said: 'It's just to get a good night's sleep. And that's just become normal now. But sometimes I do sleep with Roman.' When they asked Adam if he and wife Caroline have ever slept apart, the ex Emmerdale star admitted he "couldn't imagine" not sleeping in a bed with his wife. Inside Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas's family trip to Disneyland Paris Although some couples believe sleeping in the same bedroom is important for their relationship, a number of celebrities disagree. Vicky Pattison and her new husband Ercan Ramadan revealed they don't always sleep in the same bedroom together. Joe Swash also confessed that he and Stacey Solomon sleep in different rooms thanks to his busy schedule. Even Richard Madeley and wife Judy Finnigan sleep separately when he has to appear on Good Morning Britain the next day. Speaking to Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast, he said: "When I'm doing Good Morning Britain I sleep in the spare room. "I do probably sleep a little bit better in bed with Judy but I'm okay on my own. On the notion of disrupting Judy's rest, he quipped: "I wouldn't think of doing that to Judy. "Apart from anything else, Judy and her sleep, you do not mess with." While comedian Katherine Ryan revealed she doesn't share a bed with her husband – and instead sleeps "like a dog'" at the foot of my kid's bed. EMOTIONAL MOVE In February, Lucy said an emotional goodbye to her home of 11 years. The star shared a video of her packing up her London home after moving to Manchester with Ryan and their children. But as she packed away her things, Lucy shared that she struggled with the memories of the house, which was her first home after moving away from her parents and first renovation. Calling the move 'one of the most emotional weeks of her life' she told her followers: 'I really didn't expect to get so emotional, but I moved out of my home 11 years this week, that's how we spent half term.' 'It was such mixed emotions, because we outgrew this house so long ago,' she continued. 'We've made the big move to Manchester, and we're really happy, but there's so many memories I've hung on to in this house. 'I went from being single, it was my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out my parents, I guess, and I bought both my babies back from hospital here.'
