The actress, 45, took to Instagram on Wednesday to explain to fans why she wasn't going to be on the red carpet at the event at Radio City Music Hall with her co-stars, reports dailymail.co.uk.
Sharing a message with an image of her covering half of her face with a scarf, she said: "Gutted. Heartbroken and f''''' off, still doesn't cover my disappointment at not being able to travel to NYC for our final premiere tonight (Wednesday)." I f'''''' hate being sick and the timing of this is a s''' bag... [sic]"
