Upon seeing this clip and the full interview shared on YouTube, many expressed their qualms with Curtis. They were put off by the iconic actress' behavior, noting how she often interrupted her beloved castmate.

"I like Jamie, but she talks over people to get her point across, it's really selfish and annoying…I know she's sober, but she's always hyper, tone it down Jamie. Relax 👌👍🙄," commented a netizen on Facebook.
