Jennifer Love Hewitt Says TV Hosts Sexualized Her at 16 Years Old: ‘Grown Men Talking About My Breasts Openly on a Talk Show’ and Everyone’s ‘Laughing’


Jennifer Love Hewitt says she was just 16 years old when grown men on TV started making fun of her breasts to laughter from the audience.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was the latest guest on Mayim Bialik’s “Breakdown” podcast(via US Weekly) and recalled how it wasn’t until she was in her thirties that she registered just how much the media sexualized her as a teenager. Variety confirmed last December that Hewitt is returning as Julie James in Sony’s upcoming “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reboot, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. She joins original co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. in coming back to the franchise, which will see new cast additions like Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Haur-King, Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez.
