Reese Witherspoon is setting the record straight on who her close friends are.
In a recent interview with People, the 48-year-old actress shared that she once accidentally « roasted » an unnamed actress while presenting her with an award, leading the mystery star to never speak to her again.
« We’re not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding — we’re not friends anymore, » Witherspoon said. « 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. »
Although Witherspoon didn’t name the individual, referring to her only as « a very serious, proper actress, » internet sleuths quickly came up with a few possibilities, one of them being Kate Winslet.

After investigating, curious fans determined Witherspoon was referencing the « Titanic » actress, as she presented her with an award at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards in 2007.
Witherspoon wasted no time in shooting down the theory, taking to her Instagram stories on Saturday to set the record straight.
« Hey guys .. just spoke to my very dear friend for years, Kate W. We laughed about this stupidity. Please do not believe the internet, » Witherspoon wrote, according to People magazine. « We are good friends and have never had any falling out. » On a separate slide, she added « This is completely UNTRUE …so silly! »
Some of the jokes she made during her roast included asking in front of the crowd, « Remember the time we got laser hair removal?, » adding it’s a moment she is « still embarrassed about. »
