"And so then my black car shows up because they pick us up in these nice cars from the airport," Perry Mattfeld continued. "So this tinted window black car shows up, and all these people were like, 'Get your phone! Get your phones! Hurry, hurry. Someone's coming! Is it going to be Emmy? Is it going to be Emma Kenney? Is it going to be Jeremy? Who's going to be next?' And so everyone's freaking out getting their phones ready, and then it was me. And I just remember seeing everyone's face just like, 'Ah!'" While the fans' reactions were a little savage, Mattfeld took it in stride, even in the moment.
She explained, "It was so funny at the time because that they are so loved, but I giggled to myself obviously. I thought it was hilarious. I mean, the show hadn't come out yet, and nobody knew who I was, and nobody knew that there were these two lesbians on the show yet, but I'll never forget how humbling that was to see everyone so disappointed. I don't blame them. I would have been bummed, too."
