Actress Ayo Edebiri found herself in an awkward situation backstage at Saturday Night Live when she came face to face with Jennifer Lopez. The Emmy-winning actress and talented singer/actress were both scheduled to appear on the iconic show, but what they didn't expect was for Edebiri's old podcast comments about Lopez's career to resurface just days before the live taping.
It all started in 2020 when Edebiri, a rising stand-up comic, appeared on the popular podcast "Scam Goddess" right before Lopez's Super Bowl halftime performance. During the interview, Edebiri shared her thoughts on Lopez's music career, calling it "one long scam." She also noted that Lopez often doesn't sing live and instead relies on studio recordings for her performances.
When Lopez was asked about her reaction to Edebiri's comments in a recent interview with Variety, she revealed that the comedian had personally apologized to her backstage at SNL. According to Lopez, Edebiri was "mortified" and "very sweet" when she came to her dressing room with tears in her eyes.
"She apologized and said how terrible it was that she had said those things," Lopez shared. "She felt really bad and loved my performance because she had just heard me during soundcheck. She was just like, 'I'm so f---ing sorry, it was so awful of me.'"
But despite Edebiri's heartfelt apology, Lopez wasn't too bothered by the podcast comments. In fact, she revealed that she's heard similar things said about her throughout her career, so it didn't affect her too much.
"It's funny. I've heard similar things said about me throughout my career, so it really didn't affect me," Lopez said, showing her resilience in the face of criticism.
