Zara said: “You guys are funny. I’ve had this question so many times! First of all, I’m currently filming my documentary about stalking, and it’s really impossible to take a break from filming on a short notice. Sam’s show only got confirmed last month.
” I am working with some amazing women. It wouldn’t feel right for me to just pull out of the movie, especially the brave women who have stepped up to tell me their stories. Secondly, Sam has to get up for work at 1am every day, it’s a closed set so I wouldn’t be able to go to work with him. I’d just be sat at the hotel while he’s working. “
