Matthew Lawrence Says Gabrielle Union ‘Reported Me to the Studio’ and ‘Got Angry’ Over Refusing to Rehearse: ‘The Only Time’ I Was Dinged for ‘Something I Did on Set’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Matthew Lawrence recently said on the “Magical Rewind” podcast that the only time he got into trouble on a film or television set was when Gabrielle Union allegedly reported him.

According to Lawrence, the incident occurred after he declined Union’s offer to rehearse their lines together on the set of their 1999 TV movie “H-E Double Hockey Sticks.” Lawrence starred in the film as a hockey player who becomes the target of a young devil, played by podcast co-host Will Friedle. “There was this one moment where — and, again, I’m oblivious, I had no idea — and [Gabrielle] wanted to rehearse.

And I was like, ‘No, I’m good,'” Lawrence remembered (via Entertainment Weekly). “And she got angry and went and reported me to the director and the studio.

The only time in my entire career, because usually I’m, like, the advocate, and I’m fighting for kids and, like, you know, women’s rights.
