Overview
- In a Hits Radio interview promoting Splitsville, Johnson said she greeted everyone at a callback, was labeled “pompous” and “cocky,” and then did not get the job.
- She defended the greeting as basic courtesy, saying she “just had manners” and called the feedback “pretty crazy.”
- Johnson did not identify the project or the people in the room who gave the feedback.
- She previously shared a similar story in 2024, saying a TV show creator called her “pretentious” for the same handshake introduction.
- The retelling spread across entertainment outlets during her U.K. promo tour and drew online reminders that actors are often told not to initiate handshakes in auditions.
