My jaw was on the floor watching this clip.
A break from acting doesnt guarantee a break from public scrutiny.
Blunt was promoting her sci-fi action-thrillerLooperwhen she went on Ross show.
Blunt laughed and said, Well, the girl who served me was enormous.
You know, I think she got freebie meals at Chilis.
Blunt went on to share that the comment didnt align with her values.
And yet it happened, and I said it and Im so sorry for any hurt caused.
I was absolutely old enough to know better.
The anecdote was supposed to be about learning herLooperaccent and filming in rural America, not the servers build.
When she said yes, the woman followed up by asking her if she was Emily Blunt.
Another yes from her prompted the woman to exclaim, What are yall doing here?
After all,theOppenheimstar has spoken out about the criticismwomen often face in different areas of their lives.
