She thinks that the hate Skyler received was sexist.

Gunn has spoken out several times over the years about the gendered hate that Skyler—and by proxy, Gunn herself—received. In 2013, when the show was still on the air, she wrote a piece for The New York Timestitled, "I Have a Character Issue." While playing Skyler had "been one of the most rewarding creative journeys [she's] embarked on as an actor," Gunn wrote, she soon realized that the character was "a flash point for many people's feelings about strong, non-submissive, ill-treated women." The actor reported that she had received death threats and compared the response to her character to the hate that also targeted characters like Orang-orang gila's Betty Draper (January Jones) danThe Sopranos' Carmela (Edie Falco).

In a 2019 interview with the London Evening Standard, Gunn explained that she felt "compelled to say something, not necessarily for [herself], but for [her] daughters and other women."

"I feel like I came to understand what it was, which was just the undercurrent of extreme sexism. The idea of gender roles being so deeply ingrained—it was shocking to me," she said. "…The vehemence of it, and the fact that it was just allowed—it was the id gone wild."
