Locke told a Spanish website that she'd been informed "Entertainment Weekly" originally planned to publish a positive review, but for reasons unclear, it was pulled and a negative review appeared instead. "The Advocate", a monthly LGBT-interest magazine, was set to do a big article on Locke's book; suddenly and uncharacteristically, Eastwood gave "The Advocate" an interview, and they decided not to run both pieces. She reflected in 2012: "Clint has said so many bad things about me to the media since we split up, and he has so much more access and power to do that. He's said things that were hurtful to my character and hurtful to me professionally." Locke was nonetheless grateful to have a platform at all, stating: "It was a miracle that a major publisher took it."
