Emily Blunt Apologizes for Calling Waitress 'Enormous' in Resurfaced 2012 Interview

Blunt's apology comes after a 2012 clip resurfaces where she remarks on a Chili's server's size during an appearance on 'Ross Show', leading to online backlash and accusations of 'fatphobia' against the actress.

Emily Blunt has apologized for a comment she made in 2012, referring to a server at a Chili's restaurant as 'enormous', during an interview on 'The Jonathan Ross Show'.
Blunt explained in her apology that she was 'appalled' she would say something so 'insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated' to the story she was trying to tell during the talk show.
The resurfaced clip led to online backlash with accusations of 'fatphobia' against Blunt, forcing her to directly address the issue.
During the 2012 interview, Blunt was sharing a story of her experience in a Chili's restaurant while shooting for the film 'Looper'. Ross had commented on the size of Americans, leading to Blunt's controversial remark about the server.
Despite the controversy, Blunt distinguished this incident as 'unrecognizable' to her and what she stands for, expressing regret and apologizing for any hurt caused.
