Chloe Sevigny Apologizes for 'Big Love' Bashing

Following Chloë Sevigny's negative buzz around Hollywood last week after she knocked HBO's 'Big Love' -- a series in which she currently stars -- by telling The A.V. Club that the recently wrapped season was "awful" and that the season-long story line involving a Mormon political campaign was "very farfetched," the actress is now doing some damage control.

Sevigny spoke with EW.com's Michael Ausiello about the whole public mishap. "I feel like what I said was taken out of context, and the [reporter] I was speaking to was provoking me." Those provoked out-of-context comments included her calling the award-winning drama a "telenovela" that "got away from itself."

"I have nothing but respect and admiration for our writers and everybody involved with the show," Sevigny told EW.com in her mea culpa interview. "I think it's the greatest show on television. I think it's the weirdest show. I think it is very complex and the content is amazing and it's just very ironic that this statement would come out and blow so out of control."

By out of control, Sevigny is most likely alluding to HBO feeling the need to comment on her A.V. Club rant. The network told EW.com, "We were surprised to read the comments and knowing Chloë we trust these were taken out of context. The fans thoroughly enjoyed this past season."

As for Sevigny's relationship with HBO moving forward, according to the actress, things seem to be patched up. "They accepted my apology. We have a great mutual respect for one another."

Viewers will get a chance to see what is in store for Sevingy's character, along with the characters portrayed by Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin when the series returns for its fifth season as HBO has once again renewed 'Big Love.'
