When the incident broke, skepticism arose online. Some netizens suggested that the incident might have been a cleverly orchestrated publicity stunt to promote her upcoming movie with Sam Milby, Babe, I Love You . However, both Curtis and Milby vehemently shot down these rumors. Milby argued, "Who would want to expose themselves for a publicity stunt? Anne has never exposed herself. I don't think that she is really elated". Anne Curtis added that the suggestion was particularly hurtful, as she is known for being conservative and private.
