Anna Gunn says the backlash over her Breaking Bad Skyler character was "bizarre," "very tough" and "it shook me"
"It was very bizarre and confusing to us all,” she says in EW's Breaking Bad reunion issue. “It was a combination of sexism, ideas about gender roles, and then honestly, it was the brilliance of the construct of the show. People did find a hero in Walt, but they wanted so much to connect with him so viscerally that to see the person who often was his antagonist — therefore the show’s antagonist in a way — they felt like she was in the way of him doing whatever he wanted to do, and that he should be allowed to do what he wanted to do.”
