Reese Witherspoon Regrets Award Roast: ‘I Burned a Bridge with an Actor Friend Who Won’t Speak to Me Anymore!’

Reese Witherspoon recently disclosed an unfortunate fallout with a fellow actor due to a roast she delivered during an awards ceremony. In an interview with People magazine, she shared that the unnamed actor has since stopped speaking to her, describing the experience as haunting. “It literally haunts me,” Witherspoon admitted.

During the conversation, Witherspoon explained that the incident arose when this “very serious, proper actress” asked her to present an award. Unfamiliar with the ceremony’s tone, Witherspoon mistakenly treated it as a roast, making a joke about their experience with laser hair removal. “But that was not the tone,” she reflected. “The tone was British, elegant, classy, and I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?’”

Witherspoon expressed intense embarrassment over the situation, revealing that it led to the end of their friendship. “I’m not even kidding — we’re not friends anymore! I think she doesn’t like me anymore.” The once-funny quip landed poorly, prompting Witherspoon to realize she had misjudged the audience’s expectations. “It was pretty bad. Not even kidding, she doesn’t talk to me anymore. Oh well,” she added, summing up her feelings of regret.

The revelation came during an interview alongside Will Ferrell, her co-star in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video romantic comedy, “You’re Cordially Invited.” The film follows Witherspoon’s character, sister of the bride, as she navigates conflicts over a double-booked wedding venue with Ferrell’s character, who plays the father of another bride.

As “You’re Cordially Invited” becomes available for streaming, Witherspoon’s experience serves as a reminder of the complexities of social interactions and the potential repercussions of humor gone awry. The incident not only highlights her vulnerabilities but also raises questions about personal relationships in the celebrity world, leaving fans to wonder how this burned bridge might affect her future connections within the industry.
