While recalling the massively heavy robotic suits her and Tom had to wear for the film, Emily claimed that her costar called her a "pussy" after she started crying from the extra weight.

"He just stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes, 'Come on, stop being such a pussy, OK?'" she said. "I did laugh, and then we got through it."

"It's ludicrous that it's being spun as something that offended me," she said in the statement. "It didn't. I shared the story as lightheartedly as it was meant by Tom."

"I absolutely adore Tom, he's a dear friend and he was a total gem to me," she continued. "It was said as a joke to make me laugh, which it did in a big way. And it's still something we laugh about to this day."
