At the very last moment, star Gal (“Wonder Woman”) Gadot has dropped out of an awards celebration honoring director and producer Brett Ratner.
Gadot was set to present the Tree of Life Award to Ratner at a dinner for the Jewish National Fund on Sunday at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. However, the actress backed out of the event within the last 24 hours.
Gadot’s representatives did not respond to repeated requests for comment about her decision. Ratner’s rep also declined to comment. Nina Gordon, a spokeswoman working on Sunday’s event, said the organization was told that Gadot had a scheduling conflict.
“Apparently she is stuck on promo stuff for ‘Justice League’ for China, and she’s not going to be back in time,” Gordon said. “We just found this out and everyone is scrambling.”
In an Instagram post on Friday, Gadot said: “That’s it for now, China. Thank you for having us.”
