“I actually thoughts season 1 was a fluke and that I am now a terrible actress and I’m going to let my cast down,” admitted the Mississauga-native, while speaking to ET Canada. 

“I’m gonna let Mindy (Kaling) and Lang (Fisher) down and they’re all gonna hate me. My career is over I’m blacklisted from Hollywood and it’s done,” she continued.
