And it was so hard. And after a few days of these depositions, Tommy just looked at me and said, we're done here. We're not going to put our child at risk. And I agreed. And we just walked out there and we said, just They'll deal with karma. We don't want a dime. We don't want any of this dirty money. I won't say what he said to them, but I agreed. We walked out of there. We couldn't do it.

You know, I hate to throw him under the bus because he really was wonderful in so many ways. And I know he genuinely cared about me. But he wasn't really a theatrical agent. And I think he was always thinking money first and didn't know if I was interested in doing a film like this.

But I remember having a conversation with him not too long after and just saying, if you don't believe in me as an actress, I'm going to have to move on.
