Actress Amy Adams says she was confused and frustrated when an interview she was due to give to a TV channel was scrapped because she was unwilling to talk about the Sony hack.
The 40-year-old was scheduled to appear on the NBC morning show Monday. But when producers asked her to talk abut the recent hack attack, she felt `uncomfortable` as she was hoping to just discuss her film `Big Eyes` and did not want to weigh in on the studio's scandal, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
`I expressed (to Today's producers) that I was uncomfortable. I said I would rather not add my voice to this conversation,` USA Today newspaper quoted Adams as saying.
`But it was clear they were drawing a hard line. That this would be part of the conversation,` she added.
Adams said she still was expecting to appear on the show after explaining her stance to producers.
`I walked away from the conversation and went up to the room to do the interview. I assumed they were going to ask me about (the hack). And I was prepared for that, to whatever degree I was prepared,` she added.
However, she was told minutes later that the interview was off.
`I was confused and definitely frustrated. I still don't understand,` said.
Later, it was confirmed in a statement that the show's producers pulled the segment because the show doesn't allow guests to put restrictions on interview topics.
