But she did H20 in 1998, waaaaay before #metoo was a thing, and has pretty much been an ambassador for the genre ever since.
She turned away from her 70s/80s SQ image because she wanted to break into other, meatier roles - she played final girl/damsel in distress in Halloween, Halloween II, Prom Night, Terror Train, The Fog, and Road Games - sure you'd want a change too if you did all that over the course of three years.

It well documented that that's how it turned out *after* script changes she didn't like. She expressed interest in returning before any of that was finalized.

She was at a point that she had done nothing out of note or gotten a big payday since True Lies when she realized Halloween was about to be 20 years old and felt she was Jamie Lee Curtis and she is better than all the rest of the Fodder Teens in 80's Horror and deserved more money.
so she called up everybody she had to to ruin the Michael Myers Mytho's and Canon and make the Halloween Franchise all about her after she had disowned the entire the entire horror genre years before but now that she needed a shot in the arm to keep up her Fame and Riches she wanted the entire franchise to just come to a screehing halt to accomadate her.
Now 20 years later she is doing it again this time to boost her money, fame and also political standing among her Hollywood peers and as a result the Franchise is absolutely torn apart and that's the whole problem with the Halloween Franchise is one of their Teen Fodder feels she is better than the Franchise and won't let it go because in all reality it's all she really has besides True Lies

You're making some huge leaps there, but it's great that you've learned how to determine someone's deepest money-grabbing intentions from an interview.

Actually i found the interview after determining her deepest money grabbing intentions. All it takes is a step outside Fanboyism and into common sense

Good job I'm not a fanboy then, but your logic doesn't really follow - you decided in advance you didn't like her for whatever reasons then sought something that supported your view. Equally, someone who loves her could look at that very same interview and say she came back and saved the series. Twice.
The balanced argument would be that the series has helped her at the beginning and in turn she's helped it when it was struggling. It's an industry, both 'sides' profit.
