In her initial interview, Ferguson described the perpetrator as simply a "human being" without specifying their gender. Both Blunt and Ferguson starred together in The Girl on the Train in 2016, making Blunt a possible suspect for the misconduct. Blunt has faced criticism in the past for insensitive comments that were considered fatphobic, causing many to closely examine her actions.

Blunt is not the only former Ferguson co-star to speak out regarding the Ferguson story. At one point, fans suspected Dwayne Johnson — who acted with Ferguson on 2014's Hercules — to be at fault in the case. Following Ferguson’s statement, Johnson voiced his support for his fellow actor and mentioned that he wanted to find out who was at fault. This, in turn, cleared Johnson’s name.

Other actors suspected included The Greatest Showman’s Hugh Jackman, Mission: Impossible’s Tom Cruise, and Florence Foster Jenkins’ Hugh Grant. Of this trio, Ferguson denied it being either Jackman or Cruise, but Grant’s name has not yet been dismissed in the process. With Blunt also denying any culpability, the mystery of who yelled at Ferguson on set continues.
