And that day, I decided, okay, no meetings are happening in a hotel room—never in life, never,' the actress shared. 'I would say it does exist, but people, those who are doing casting calls, they are actually not casting, they are not casting directors, they are some useless people who are just doing it for their sake. Because auditions legit land, but I want to tell everybody, legit casting calls are very important to understand, because you have to understand, I know everyone wants work and that desperation lands us in wrong spaces, but people who want to cast will never do a casting couch,' she concluded.
