Katherine Heigl is on the comeback trail after her tumultuous run on Grey's Anatomy and her tanking movie career sidelined her for years. Now she's back promoting her new NBC drama State of Affairs with a Q&A on her Facebook page.

When asked by a fan, "I've heard rumors that you're very rude. What's your thoughts?," Katherine took the question in stride and answered it politely.

"Yeah I've heard those too ... honestly I don't think I am ... nothing makes me more uncomfortable than confrontation or hurting someone's feelings and I would never, ever actively do so on purpose," she said. "Of course just like any human being I've made mistakes and unwittingly or carelessly spoken or acted but I always try to make any wrong right. That doesn't mean I won't stand up for myself by drawing boundaries and asking to be treated kindly and respectfully but I don't do that with any rude or unkind intentions just with the same strength and honesty I think every one of us is entitled to."

Rumors of her being difficult to work with started years ago when she decided not to submit her name for Emmy recognition for her work on Grey's Anatomy. At the time, the Knocked Up actress said it was because she felt she hadn't had good enough material to work with. That enraged creator Shonda Rhimes, who also created Scandal, and led to Katherine leaving the ABC show soon after.

Just last month, the How to Get Away with Murder creator criticized Katherine in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter when talking about her "no a--holes" policy on the Scandal set.

"There are no Heigls in this situation ... I don't put up with bulls--t or nasty people. I don't have time for it," she told the paper.
