The source also revealed a bit about the actress’s personal troubles in relation to all the backlash, saying, “Sometimes, when the backlash was at its worst, she felt like she was the most hated woman in Hollywood, and she wants to reset her image. She wants to get back to being a big-shot romantic comedy lead, she hopes the audience will gravitate towards her again.”
