Jennifer Lopez Says A ‘Mortified’ Ayo Edebiri Apologized For Old Comments After ‘SNL’
HuffPost
The entertainer seemed willing to forgive, calling “The Bear” star “very sweet” during an interview with Variety.
Jennifer Lopez says she got a tearful apology from Ayo Edebiri after their “Saturday Night Live” episode earlier this month.
When the lead of “The Bear” and the “On The Floor” singer were paired together for the Feb. 3 show, people uncovered a 2020 podcast episode where Edebiri spoke about J.Lo in less than flattering terms.
But Lopez told Variety how the Emmy-winning actor cleared the air as soon as their “SNL” episode wrapped.
“She was mortified and very sweet,” Lopez said.” She came to my dressing room and apologized with tears in her eyes, saying how terrible it was that she had said those things.”
Lopez said Edebiri “felt really badly” and told the “Selena” star she “loved my performance because we had just done my soundcheck and she actually got to hear me perform.”
