i hate when apologies mention how long ago it was.

anyway this clip was gross and i hope the waitress didn't see it the first time, or now that it's gone viral.

When I first saw the clip all I could think was imagine randomly meeting a celeb and having a nice friendly encounter, and then you excitedly see them on a TV show only to hear them making fun of you. Getting insulted by anyone would be hurtful enough but a rich beautiful celeb on national TV... I would be crying for days and think about it forever. Hope that waitress was none the wiser.

The thing that bothered me most about this was how gratuitous the mention of her weight is. The waitress was a funny and friendly person-the talk show bit that Blunt was going for was right there, but she added a cruel extraneous element. Really bad.

seriously she comes off so catty and nasty in that clip "enormous" aside she's like mocking the poor waitress

It's good she apologized, because what she said was obviously hurtful (there's also something so low-key insidious about mentioning that the waitress was getting free meals at where she worked, as if that is something so beneath her but in reality, yeah, getting a free meal is a nice benefit of a job sometimes especially in terms of affordability)

BUT at the same time, I am over this internet-is-forever thing of digging up what people said in an interview/tweeted from a decade ago, trying to find something a person said that was off-color and bad to be held up in the court of public opinion. Like, obviously, yes if the celebrity said something racist/homophobic/sexist etc, they should be held accountable for it but I also can believe a person has grown/changed from ten years ago for a shitty dumb joke they made. I know no one on ontd is standing by comments they made ten years ago/let ye who cast the first stone etc.

lol mte the comments in this post already show why going back to apologize for things isn't even good pr, especially for 'scandals' like this that no one cares about. people say they want public apologies for stuff that happened years and years ago, but the second someone actually does it they'll take the opportunity to say they always hated her, or pick apart the wording to expose it as fake.

the only reason she'd give this oxygen is if she actually felt bad and wanted to apologize, because all the apology does is draw attention to her fuck up. there's no gain for her except if she wanted to acknowledge it was wrong

Thank goodness you were able to delete your racist post, or else you might have had to apologize.

that clip is so mean :(

[luvthatdrtywata]

Idk, the clip is kinda too casually cruel for me to think this is genuine. It’s a good apology, I just don’t know I BELIEVE it.

Same, I think it’s more of the fault of how women were expected to behave and look and how we were bred to compete with other women than it is of Emily being intentionally malicious.

That being said, I’m glad she has apologized and taken accountability for it

[spameyeam]

I’m not saying that this wasn’t a shitty thing to say but people forget this was during a time where anyone bigger than a size zero was considered overweight. This time period has literally fucked up the body image of an entire generation of women.
