Actress Reese Witherspoon recently in an interview claimed that a fellow actress "doesn't talk to me anymore" due to a speech she once gave. Further, she said that the speech was so embarrassing that "we're not friends anymore." This led netizens to speculate that Witherspoon was referring to Kate Winslet, digging up a speech Witherspoon gave at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards in 2007.
Reacting to the fallout rumours with Kate, Reese slammed the news, calling it "silly." Sharing the article on her Instagram story, the actress wrote, "Hey guys .. just spoke to my very dear friend for years, Kate W. We laughed about this stupidity. Please do not believe the internet. We are good friends and have never had any falling out."

"This is completely UNTRUE ...so silly!," she added in another slide.
Here's what Reese Witherspoon said
Witherspoon recalled the speech and told PEOPLE in an interview that it "literally haunts" her. Further, she said, "This friend of mine, who I didn't really know that well but she was a very serious, proper actress, she asked me to give her an award. But I had never been to this award ceremony, so I thought it was like a roast. So I got up and I roasted her."
"Witherspoon went on, “We're not friends anymore. I'm not even kidding — we're not friends anymore. I think she doesn't like me anymore. I thought it was so funny and it was just, I had the wrong audience. It was pretty bad. Yeah. Not even kidding, she doesn't talk to me anymore. Oh well," she added.
On the work front, Reese was last seen in the romantic comedy You're Cordially Invited. It premiered on January 30, 2025 on Amazon Prime Video.
