Reese Witherspoon Reveals Friendship Fallout After Awards Roast: ‘She Doesn’t Like Me Anymore’ and I’m Still Embarrassed!

Reese Witherspoon recently opened up about a significant friendship fallout during an interview with People magazine, disclosing that she burned a bridge with a fellow actor after roasting her at an awards ceremony. This incident has left her feeling haunted, as the actor has since stopped speaking to Witherspoon. Although the Oscar-winning actress did not divulge the identity of her once-close friend, she expressed deep regret over the whole situation, stating, “It literally haunts me.”

During the conversation, Witherspoon explained, “So this friend of mine, who I didn’t really know that well, but she was a very serious, proper actress. She asked me to give her an award, but I had never been to this award ceremony, so I thought it was like a roast. So I got up and I roasted her.” She then elaborated on the stark contrast of expectations, noting, “But that was not the tone. The tone was British, elegant, classy, and I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?’” As she reflected on this moment, she admitted, “I’m still embarrassed about it. [We’re] not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding — we’re not friends anymore!”

Witherspoon’s acknowledgment of the fallout underscores the intense pressure actors face in public events, where humor can easily misfire. She expressed frustrations over the misunderstanding, believing that her intentions were lighthearted and fun. “I thought it was so funny and it was just, I had the wrong audience. It was pretty bad. Not even kidding, she doesn’t talk to me anymore. Oh well.”

This admission came as part of a promotional effort for her latest film, “You’re Cordially Invited,” in which she stars alongside Will Ferrell. The romantic-comedy, directed by Nicholas Stoller, features Witherspoon as the sister of a bride amidst wedding chaos. Witherspoon’s experiences in the interview reveal the unexpected consequences of her comedic choices, highlighting a moment that transformed a lighthearted occasion into a significant relationship fallout. The implications of this experience may linger for Witherspoon as she navigates the complexities of friendship and public persona in Hollywood.
