I think she does get freaked out by them. The poor girl was barely 18 when they hired her. In the moment that they picked as the top five best moments from Smallville ever (the Lana strip) she point blank refused to do it and they got the double in so I imagine it must bother her. You just know Al masturbates to that piece of film constantly and pretends it really is KK.
For the Slumber strip the guest actress was saying the directer was saying to a shy KK "what's the problem, you've got such a fantastic body". Eww.
I do feel bad for KK having to put up with all the sleaze, but I'd be more sympathetic if she tried more. Yes she was hired for looks, but that doesn't excuse not putting the effort in. In the commentaries Tom and Michael were actually trying to keep her awake. How rude is that!
We already knew what was going on there from this interview (from k-site) "In the writers room, there were only two women, and a lot of guys -- we’re talking a lot of testosterone in that room. And [Kristin Kreuk] came in early on and met all of us. And she is loveliest, sweetest, most down-to-earth person. And she is stunningly beautiful, and then she left the writers’ room. Doris [Egan], the other female writer, and I are watching male eyes just slumping all over the room. [The male writers] had a hard time conceiving her as something other than someone you’d put on a pedestal because her beauty got in the way."
And then the female writers were let go so in season 2 it was nothing but the DOMOS (which really does suit them and is how I shall forever think of them now). The creepiness of it all.
