Her caption read, “Spilling tea and oversharing with the girls 10/10. Don’t miss all the drama – #thehousemaidmovie hits theaters Dec 19, and tickets are on sale now @housemaidmovie @lionsgate #lionsgatepartner.”
Many quickly rushed to the comment section of the post to express their disappointment in Kateb for interviewing Sweeney. One fan wrote, “sydney ??? leah wtf.” Another added, “Why would you collab with Sydney.” However, one particular comment prompted a direct response from Kateb, who clarified that the interview wasn’t a personal choice but part of a contract with Lionsgate.
According to Buzzfeed, when a fan asked, “Why are you doing videos with sydney…..” Kateb replied, “it’s almost like I have a contract with lionsgate, not homegirl.” It is to be noted that the comment has now been deleted.
