Adams was in New York to promote the Tim Burton-directed film, including a stint hosting Saturday Night Live. She was slated to do an interview on Today not long after her SNL hosting gig, but producers pulled the segment after the actress wasn’t prepared to answer questions relating to the Sony hack.
Among the trove of stolen emails, it was revealed that Adams and Jennifer Lawrence made less than their male co-stars Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale for the film American Hustle.
A Today show spokesperson told THR: “As a news program, the Today show doesn’t allow guests to put restrictions on interviews. In this case, after hours of discussion we felt uncomfortable with the demands being made, and we determined the best course of action for all parties involved was to cancel the interview.”
