The actress, 51, and the Enchanted star, 55, had a lengthy chat about their time on the ABC drama during the Wednesday, September 29, episode of her “Tell Me With Ellen Pompeo” podcast.
“Only we can understand what this journey has been, and we are the only ones who truly understand it and each other, and we’ve all come through it with a tremendous amount of forgiveness and love for each other,” Pompeo said. “We have learned that lesson that empathy is the way and we’re living our best lives because of it. So, it has been an incredible blessing. I wouldn’t change any of it — even the bad we’ve learned from and the good we look back on and laugh and we still all love each other like brothers and sisters.”
“Denzel’s a movie star, he doesn’t know s–t about directing TV. But [producer and costar] Debbie Allen was like, ‘What can I do to keep Ellen interested? What can I do to keep Ellen here?’” Pompeo shared. “Because after you left, I was like, ‘Why do I have to stay here? I gotta go now. Everyone’s gone. [Sandra Oh’s] gone, Patrick’s gone, I gotta go too.’ And Debbie was like, ‘No, no, no, you gotta stick around. I’m gonna bring in a surprise for you,’ and she would never tell me who it was but she knew I was a huge fan.”
The Old School actress subsequently got into a “fight” with Denzel when she went off script. “Working with Denzel was amazing. He went nuts on me,” she revealed, noting that she still “love[s] the guy.”
Pompeo was mad at the time, but the pair eventually worked through their disagreement.

Luann de Lesseps’ Ups and Downs: A Timeline of the 'RHONY' Star’s Struggles “This season, for me, is about redemption. After what I’d been through the last couple years — which has been hell — and then, before that, divorce, I just feel like this is the season where you get to see me shine,” the reality star, 54, says on the latest episode of the “Getting Real With the Housewives” podcast. “I thought I could shine last season. I just couldn’t because there was just so much that the women didn’t understand about me and what I was going through.” She explains that last season the cast thought she was “being narcissistic,” but it was harder than they thought, not drinking with them when she was on probation.
