A proud Kingston University alum, Emlyn has written about music, fandom, film, television, and awards for multiple outlets including MTV News,"I just need to address this head-on, as my jaw was on the floor watching this clip from 12 years ago," Blunt told."I'm appalled that I would say something so insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell on a talk show.
She continued, "I've always considered myself someone who wouldn't dream of upsetting anyone, so whatever possessed me to say anything like this in that moment is unrecognizable to me or anything I stand for. And yet it happened, and I said it, and I'm so sorry for any hurt caused. I was absolutely old enough to know better."
During the 2012 interview, Blunt recalled an experience in which she went out to eat at a local Chili's restaurant while shooting her film. Host Jonathan Ross chimed in, "If you go to Chili's, you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous." "Well, the girl who was serving me was enormous," Blunt replied. "I think she got freebie meals at Chili's."Blunt then explained how the waitress recognized her during the meal and began asking her a series of excited questions about the movie, but she didn't believe it was actually called"She was like, 'Are y'all shooting a movie here?'" Blunt recalled in her best Southern accent.
