“He apologized to me about that.
He scolded me at my premiere, but he apologized,” Coppola said.
“He thought he was defending Spike, but he was putting me down at my premiere.

“It really wasn’t based on her,” Coppola said.
“It was a combination of a bunch of people.
It was a punch in, so it wasn’t a diss on her.
Someone else was more the personality of [Faris' character].”
