"Some of the things people have said about me, well, they're unbelievable"
About this Quote
The phrasing is doing reputation management without sounding like PR. "Some of the things" is a strategic vagueness, a protective scrim that signals volume and intensity while denying the gossip economy fresh material. The little throat-clearing "well" is equally tactical: it performs casualness, as if she is almost amused, when the subtext is fatigue. It's a classic celebrity defense mechanism - deflation instead of confrontation - and it works because it invites the audience to fill in the blanks with the culture we already know: the hypersexualization, the speculation about her body, the "diva" myths, the weird certainty people feel entitled to when they consume a performer as an object.
Set against Hendricks's career, especially during the Mad Men era when her image became a lightning rod, the line reads as a boundary disguised as a shrug. She avoids the trap of sounding wounded, but she also refuses to normalize the commentary. The effect is polite, firm disbelief - a reminder that fame doesn't make other people's fantasies any less fictional.
