New York, NY – Ayo Edebiri, known for her role in the show “The Bear,” recently addressed controversial remarks she made about Jennifer Lopez during a podcast chat from her younger days. This comes after Edebiri hosted “Saturday Night Live” alongside musical guest Jennifer Lopez, where she seemingly apologized for her previous comments about the singer’s talents during a sketch on the show. The resurfacing of her past remarks created an awkward situation ahead of their joint “SNL” appearance.
During the sketch, Edebiri acknowledged the impact of her imprudent podcast comments, stating, “It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast and you don’t consider the impact ’cause you’re 24 and stupid! But I think I speak for everyone when I say, from now on, we’re gonna be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online!”
Edebiri’s latest comment on the situation came on “SNL” cast member Bowen Yang’s Instagram page, where Tina Fey also brought up Edebiri’s gaffe during a recurring segment, “I Don’t Think So, Honey!” Fey advised Yang on the dangers of sharing authenticity on podcasts, referencing Edebiri’s earlier remarks.
Edebiri concurred with Fey’s perspective, leading to a flurry of comments on social media following the interaction. The incident sheds light on the impact and influence of public personalities’ past comments and the importance of being thoughtful about what one posts online. Edebiri’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for others in the entertainment industry and beyond.
