Actress Emily Blunt shares a sincere apology after a 2012 clip of her calling a waitress “enormous” goes viral—but will fans forgive? In the Oppenheimer actress’ recent apology she states, “I was appalled that I would say something so insensitive” and “hurtful.” Yet fans are saying, “f*** off!”
When Emily Blunt appeared on the Johnathan Ross show in 2012 to promote the recently released movie Looper, she made some unnecessary comments about the weight of a waitress that served her at Chili’s. Now, over 20 years later, the mom of two is issuing a heartfelt apology.
Emily Blunt calls waitress ‘enormous’ in 2012 interviewWhen the Looper actress appeared on the Johnathan Ross show to talk about the filming of the movie, she mentioned they were staying in a small town where the only restaurant was Chili’s. Ross cracked a joke, saying, “When you go to chilis you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous,” speaking of the comparatively large portion sizes in America next to the U.K.
But Emily took it a step too far, replying, “The girl that was serving me was enormous. I think she got freebee meals at Chili’s.” Not cool, Emily!
