That was quick: Chloe Sevigny is back-peddling on negative remarks she made about the fourth season of her popular TV series in an interview with The AV Club.
Sevigny — who stars as a fundamentalist Mormon on the hit HBO drama Big Love — raised eyebrows this week after she publicly declared the show’s past season a big pile of caca during a chat with The Onion’s Arts & Entertainment newsletter. Chloe told the site that she was left disappointed with the writing of the latest episodes and felt that the show’s storylines had become too “far-fetched!”
“It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not allowed to say that! It was very telenovela. I feel like it kind of got away from itself. The whole political campaign seemed to me very farfetched. I mean, I love the show, I love my character, I love the writing, but I felt like they were really pushing it this last season,” she said, openly sharing her thoughts on the current state of the show.
It now appears Sevigny may have been reprimanded for her scathing comments by her bosses at HBO. On Friday, Sevigny apologized for the interview which takes her own show to task.
“I feel pretty terrible,” the actress told Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello after her remarks went viral on Thursday. “I feel like what I said was taken out of context. I wasn’t thinking about what I was saying,” she explained. “I was in Austin [at the SXSW festival] and really exhausted… I love the show. I think it’s the greatest show on television.”
Sevigny won a Golden Globe earlier this year for her role as Nicolette Grant, one of the wives of Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton).
