As an actress, Siegel has been there before. She's known for frequently starring in her husband Mike Flanagan's work, collaborating with him on projects like 'Ouija: Origin of Evil,' 'The Haunting of Hill House,' and 'Hush,' which she also co-wrote. That success came at a cost for Siegel, who rose to fame against sexist bullying and hate made worse by social media.
Siegel acknowledged the dichotomy of her online presence, stating, 'Anything you want to find on the internet, you can. I could find proof that I was a scream queen and I was amazing, and I was that breath of fresh air. I could also find that I was a monster who was horrific to look at and should probably kill herself.' This reflects the complexity of public perception.
Paraphrasing Andy Warhol, Siegel suggested that rather than dwelling on the negative, an artist should keep creating, saying, 'I started thinking this way instead, like, ‘Hey, it’s nice that they’re calling me a scream queen. Maybe next week they’ll call me a scream disappointment!’ It’s really just none of my business.' This illustrates her resilience in the face of criticism.
