Hollywood's rumour mill is buzzing once again as whispers of a long-standing feud between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt resurface ahead of their respective summer TV premieres.
The Origins of the Rumoured Rivalry
The alleged tension between the two actresses reportedly began in the late 1990s when both were rising stars in television. Gellar was captivating audiences as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, while Hewitt was winning hearts in Party of Five and later in I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Competition for Roles
Industry insiders suggest the actresses may have competed for similar roles during this period, potentially creating professional friction. Both were young, blonde leading ladies vying for parts in teen-oriented projects.
Recent Developments
The timing of these renewed feud rumours coincides with both actresses returning to television this summer. Gellar stars in the new supernatural drama Wolf Pack, while Hewitt leads The Client List revival.
Social Media Speculation
Fans have been analysing their social media interactions (or lack thereof) for signs of tension. Neither actress has publicly acknowledged the other in recent years, fueling speculation.
What the Stars Have Said
In past interviews, both women have downplayed any rivalry. Gellar has called such rumours "ridiculous," while Hewitt has stated she has "nothing but respect" for her fellow actress.
The Truth Behind the Headlines
Industry experts suggest that any perceived feud is likely exaggerated by media outlets looking for dramatic narratives between successful women in Hollywood.
As both actresses prepare for their summer premieres, fans will be watching closely for any signs of interaction - or continued distance - between the two stars.
