The 49-year-old actress, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey in the long-running series, recently sat down withEmpire‘sTaraji P. HensonforVariety‘s latest Actors on Actors chat, telling Henson it was a “really toxic work environment” during her first decade on the show.
Days later, Pompeo decided to set the record straight on in a three-part post on Twitter.
“Hey! Anyone having feelings over Variety piece. It’s not worth getting yourself upset over not singling anyone out..,” her first tweet read. “As a show we all had a part to play in the environment me included..as many workplaces do.. We changed that story. That’s the story we all have the power to change!”
During her sit-down with Henson, she explained that it became her “mission” to change the environment because she didn’t want the show to be so “fantastic to the public” but a “disaster behind the scenes.”
