In a candid reflection, actress Reese Witherspoon recounted an embarrassing incident from her past that continues to haunt her. During an interview promoting her new comedy, You’re Cordially Invited, Witherspoon shared that she once delivered a speech at a British award ceremony, mistakenly treating it as a roast. Unaware of the event’s formal and elegant nature, she infused her speech with lighthearted jokes, including a quip about laser hair removal. This misjudgment led to the end of her friendship with the honored actress, who ceased communication afterward. Reflecting on the incident, Witherspoon expressed lingering embarrassment, noting that the memory still haunts her.
In You’re Cordially Invited, now streaming on Prime Video, Witherspoon stars alongside Will Ferrell. The film centers on two characters who inadvertently book the same venue for their respective weddings, leading to comedic rivalry. Interestingly, Witherspoon’s character delivers a cringeworthy speech in the movie, mirroring her real-life experience.
