She
supposedly had a panic attack when she read the comic book and called her
manager saying "what the hell have I gotten myself into?" because of the
costumes in the comic. This sounds very strange because you'd think
they'd have looked at the comic before she'd signed to do anything. It
made them (YB and her manager) look rather unprofessional which I'm sure
they're not.
She
also supposedly said "it's a very cool comic but very risqué".
She
took kickboxing lessons and spent time at a firing range as training for
Witchblade.
Finally
she supposedly said "Witchblade was totally awesome!" "It's fast! It's
slick! It moves! It's interesting! And you care about the character."
