Freddie Prinze Jr Clears Up the Rumors: No Feud Between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt!

Freddie Prinze Jr, 49, has shut down claims that Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, and Jennifer Love Hewitt, 46, have fallen out

EXCLUSIVE! Freddie Prinze Jr Shuts Down Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt Feud Rumors!

The 90s scream queens' drama has finally come to an end, folks! Freddie Prinze Jr, 49, has put the kibosh on swirling rumors that his original I Know What You Did Last Summer co-stars, Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, and Jennifer Love Hewitt, 46, have been at odds since their epic franchise reboot premiere last week.

As we previously reported, fans were left scratching their heads when the trio failed to be photographed together on the red carpet for the highly-anticipated fourth installment of the slasher film. But don't worry, it's not a case of "I'll never look at you again" - or is it?

Sarah's husband spoke out following allegations that the original I Know What You Did Last Summer stars were on bad terms after their failure to be photographed together at the reboot's premiere on Thursday

According to Freddie, who reprises his role as Ray Bronson in the new movie, he and Jennifer have simply drifted apart over the years, but they're still all about those characters! The actor told Variety: "We run in different circles. I hadn't seen her since we wrapped the second movie in '98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there."

It seems that even though Freddie and Jennifer haven't kept in touch, they're both passionate about bringing their beloved characters to life once again. And it's clear that Freddie is particularly proud of the new film, gushing: "Honestly, I think the first scene we share in this movie, where Ray and Julie confront the reality of their relationship, is the best work we've done."

But don't just take Freddie's word for it! Jennifer Love Hewitt has also addressed the rumors in an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com. When asked about the drama surrounding her and Sarah Michelle Gellar, she remained tight-lipped, saying: "I honestly don’t even know what that was or how that all came to be."

The 9-1-1 star continued: "I just think people don’t want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?" It seems like Jennifer is ready to move on from any perceived drama between her and Sarah, admitting that they haven't spoken in 28 years.

Jennifer shared: "I haven’t seen Sarah,' the 9-1-1 star said. 'Literally, we’ve not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That’s why it’s so funny to me.'"

So, what's the real tea? According to Jennifer, people in her circle were encouraging her to address the rumors and "enter the fray," but she refused, saying: "I’m like, 'What am I going to say? I’ve not seen her.'"

It's clear that both Freddie and Jennifer are committed to putting their characters first, and we can't wait to see what this new installment has in store for fans. So, Sarah Michelle Gellar, how do you feel about all the drama surrounding your co-stars?

Sarah, if you're reading this (and we know you are), please come forward and set the record straight!

The franchise famously centres around incidents following groups of friends who try to cover up bloody incidents from the previous summer
