Poor Things star Emma Stone recently faced some serious backlash from Swifties after jokingly referring to her friend of nearly 20 years as an “a**hole” backstage at the Golden Globes, and now the 35-year-old actress says she regrets making the humorous comment. Speaking to People, Stone called herself a “dope” for joking about Taylor Swift, and says the media took things out of context and ran with it. She says she saw the headlines, and won’t be repeating the mistake any time soon.
Stone secured her second Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for Poor Things and was doing press backstage following the event. When asked about Swift giving her a standing ovation, Stone jokingly commented, “What an a**hole, am I right?” She followed up by explaining their friendship and expressing her happiness that Swift could attend.
