Stephanopoulos went on to question her about statement she Made to the police, "Do you know my name?" "I have no idea what I was saying that night." said the actress. "I saw him arresting my husband and I literally panicked. I said all kinds of crazy things. I told him I was pregnant. I'm not pregnant! I said crazy things.

I know better."
