Emily Blunt blasted for calling waitress ‘enormous’ in resurfaced interview: ‘She’s a fatphobic unfunny mean girl’

Emily Blunt is under fire for a resurfaced interview in which she referred to a Chili’s waitress as “enormous.”

The actress, 40, was a guest on the UK’s “The Jonathan Ross Show” in September 2012 when she decided to share a story about how she dined at one of the chain restaurant’s locations in Louisiana while she was in town filming the movie “Looper.”

Though Ross, 62, chimed in to note that there’s “nothing wrong with that,” he had previously quipped that “when you go to Chili’s, you can see why so many of [their] American friends are enormous.”

“And I said, ‘I have heard that, yes,’” she recalled responding, to which the staffer then asked, “Are you Emily Blunt?”

After the “Devil Wears Prada” star confirmed her identity, she said the woman shrieked in excitement, “What are y’all doin here?!”
