“I just got the news this morning and I’m heartbroken, so heartbroken,” Kathryn said in an Instagram Live video alongside her co-star. “#SaveTheSociety is a global trend and I could not be bigger.”
Gideon, who is the 23-year-old daughter of actress Pamela Adlon, added, “It’s definitely a bit of an intestinal punch, but as our creator told us today, ‘Our show is there. You can watch it all the time. It does not go away and we do not go away.'”
She went on to say, “It’s a big bummer, but this is the way things work sometimes. We have no control over it.”
