British actress Emily Blunt apologizing for comments she made during a resurfaced video interview from 2012. In the clip, Blunt described a waitress as "enormous" while discussing her visit to a Chili's restaurant in the United States.

The video was widely shared on social media, leading to criticism of Blunt for making what some perceived as "fatphobic" remarks. In response to the backlash, Blunt issued an apology, expressing her shock and regret over her insensitive comments.

She stated that she was "appalled" by her remarks and acknowledged that they were hurtful and unrelated to the story she was trying to tell during the talk show. Blunt emphasized that she had always considered herself someone who wouldn't intentionally upset anyone and expressed her deep regret for any harm caused by her comments.
