by

In the 1990s, both Reese Witherspoon and Kate Winslet made their marks in the film industry, appearing in some of the top movies of the 2000s. To this day, they remain two of the most gifted actors in Hollywood. However, there has been talk about their friendship ending at some point. This speculation arose when Witherspoon shared a story about an awkward speech incident. Yet, Witherspoon, known for her role in “Legally Blonde,” has clarified the nature of her relationship with Winslet from “Titanic.

Reese Witherspoon Revealed An Award Show Speech That Still “Haunts” Her

Reese Witherspoon is currently marketing her latest film, titled “You’re Cordially Invited“, co-starring Will Ferrell. This movie can now be streamed using an Amazon Prime subscription. During their press tour discussions, here’s a memory the actress shared about mishaps they experienced:

This incident with my acquaintance, who is quite formal and serious, continues to give me a sense of unease because she asked me to present her with an award. Since I hadn’t been to this event before, I assumed it was more like a roast. So, I made fun of her in front of everyone, referring to the time when we had laser hair removal together. Needless to say, I’m still mortified by my actions.

In a recent interview with People, Reese Witherspoon didn’t disclose specific details about the award show or who she presented the award to. Yet, some internet users speculated that she was referring to the BAFTAs with Kate Winslet. As Witherspoon went on to discuss her regrettable speech, she:

It seems our friendship has come to an end, and I’m being sincere here. I have the feeling she no longer feels fondly towards me. I thought what I did was amusing, but it turned out that it wasn’t something she appreciated. To be honest, it didn’t go well at all. Yes, you got that right, we hardly communicate these days. Oh well.

It’s a bit unusual, but it’s nice to see Reese Witherspoon speaking candidly about how some high-profile award ceremonies may not live up to their glamorous image as much as people might think. She hinted at an incident where she presented an actress and they don’t communicate after she delivered a speech with the wrong tone. Although she didn’t offer many details, her comments provide a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of awards shows.

Witherspoon Has Responded To Suspicions That Kate Winslet Was At The Center Of Her Awkward Speech Story

Various outlets, including Just Jared, have interpreted Reese Witherspoon’s comments and suggested that she might be referring to the occasion when she presented Kate Winslet with her Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year in 2007.

Publications are pointing to a Reese Witherspoon fan site from 2007 that recounts her speech allegedly including the actress mentioning laser hair removal and talking about the pair’s friendship being “too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell”. While it sounds like the event could fit the bill, The Morning Show actress took to her Instagram story to clarify the situation:

Hi everyone, I recently caught up with an old friend of mine, Kate W., whom I’ve known for quite some time. We shared a laugh over some misunderstandings that seem to be circulating online. Rest assured, there has never been any strain in our friendship.

It’s uncertain at this point, but it seems as though the viral incident may have sparked a conversation between them, resulting in shared laughter over the entire situation.

Reese Witherspoon is frequently recognized as a champion for women, from advocating for quality female-centric scripts with her production company, to hosting girls’ nights out with Jennifer Aniston or supporting Natalie Portman during their respective divorces. Yet, this brings up the question: To whom was she referring, now that it’s clear it wasn’t Winslet.
