An avid Star Wars fan since age seven, when her father first showed her Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, Gutierrez is the namesake of Gooti Terez, a character designed to resemble her from "Iron Squadron," the sixth episode of the third season of Star Wars Rebels. Along with Anthony Carboni and Corey Vidal, she was a host for the Star Wars Celebration Anaheim Live. In July 2018, Gutierrez received online abuse on Twitter after Rebel Force Radio posted an altered photo of her posing with a mug saying "Fanboy Tears." In response, StarWars.com severed its relationship with Rebel Force Radio.
