Emily Blunt finds herself in an unexpected situation as she addresses a resurfaced video that has gone viral recently. The 40-year-old star of “Oppenheimer” was caught on tape making comments about a server at a restaurant, and she wants everyone to know that she’s deeply sorry.
The video in question dates back to 2012 when Emily appeared on the U.K.’s Jonathan Ross Show. During the interview, she discussed her time in the United States while working on the film “Looper” and made a comment about a Chili’s server. She said, “If you go to Chili’s, you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous. Well, the girl who was serving me was enormous.”
As the resurfaced video clip spread like wildfire on social media, Emily decided to issue a statement to address the situation. She expressed her shock at her own words, stating, “I just need to address this head-on as my jaw was on the floor watching this clip from 12 years ago. I’m appalled that I would say something so insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell on a talk show.”
Emily continued with a heartfelt self-reflection, “I’ve always considered myself as someone who wouldn’t dream of upsetting anyone, so whatever possessed me to say anything like this in that moment is unrecognizable to me or anything I stand for.”
In her statement, Emily couldn’t emphasize enough how sorry she is for any hurt her words may have caused. She acknowledged that she was old enough to know better and concluded her statement with a heartfelt apology, showing her genuine remorse. “And yet it happened, and I said it and I’m so sorry for any hurt caused. I was absolutely old enough to know better.”
The resurfacing of this video has been a shocking and eye-opening moment for Emily Blunt. While her comments from years ago are clearly regrettable, it’s also essential to recognize her willingness to take responsibility for her words and issue an apology. It’s a reminder that we can all learn from our past actions and strive to do better in the future.
