The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star has addressed a viral clip of what some viewers interpreted as her shading her former I Know What You Did Last Summer costar. When Extra asked Gellar whether Hewitt would return for next year's IKWYDLS movie in an interview at the red carpet premiere of Dexter: Original Sin on Wednesday, Gellar looked stunned giving her simple response, "I have nothing to do with that."

Prinze is also returning for the forthcoming Summer film, but Gellar's post came a little too soon before the official announcement of its production was ready. "I found out that they hadn't posted any pictures from the set yet — hadn't announced they started filming," she explained recently on Live With Kelly and Mark,. "That was an 'Oops! My bad!'"
Commenting on the carelessness of her mistake, Gellar joked, "You would think that being in my position, I know what rules are on sets when they say closed sets, you know? So my husband's starring in the movie, and it was Thanksgiving, so I took our kids to Australia to go out there and visit him. And I was sitting on set and I was like, 'Oh, what a great picture,' and then I posted it."
The actress spilled more information on her recent trip to Australia on Late Night With Seth Meyers this week — including an anecdote about obsessively researching detachable penis spiders that populate the country. "Of course, once I saw this, I had to go on a deep dive," Gellar said. "Like, how does that work? Basically, it puts its penis into the mate. I have never said [the word penis] this many times on television. I feel like something bad is about to happen."
