Reese Witherspoon shocked fans on Thursday by dishing on her secret feud with an unnamed A-list actress.
In a joint PEOPLE interview with her You’re Cordially Invited co-star Will Ferrell on Thursday, Witherspoon revealed that her friendship with the movie star soured after she ‘roasted’ her at an awards ceremony.
The actress had personally asked Witherspoon to speak at the ‘classy’ event in her honor. Witherspoon did not reveal the name of the ceremony or when it took place.
‘It literally haunts me,’ she confessed before recounting the ’embarrᴀssing’ moment for Ferrell.
‘So 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,’ she explained.
‘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.’

However, Witherspoon quickly realized that her ‘funny’ speech wasn’t landing with the event’s audience.
‘The tone [of the event] was British and elegant and classy. And I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?!” Witherspoon recalled with a laugh.

She added: ‘I’m still embarrᴀssed about it.’
The speech went over so poorly that the unnamed actress stopped talking to Witherspoon all together.
‘We’re not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding — we’re not friends anymore,’ she revealed.
‘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,’ the Oscar-winner concluded.
While Witherspoon refused to share the idenтιтy of her former actress pal, she was less тιԍнт-lipped when it came to dishing about the highly-anticipated Legally Blonde prequel series.
She told PEOPLE this week that production on the TV series will begin in March 2025.
