Reese Witherspoon has recently addressed and refuted rumors suggesting a rift with fellow actress Kate Winslet.
Taking to Instagram, Witherspoon dismissed the speculation as “stupidity” and clarified that there was no truth to the claims of a feud.
The rumors had gained traction following an interview Witherspoon did with actor Will Ferrell for People magazine, available on YouTube, where she had mentioned her admiration for Winslet.
Online speculation, however, twisted her words and fueled the rumors.
Witherspoon responded directly, stating in her Instagram Story that the rumors were unfounded.
She described Winslet as a “very good friend” and urged her followers not to believe everything they read online, emphasizing that the gossip was baseless.
While Winslet, known for her role in Titanic, has not publicly commented on the situation, the rumors have not seemed to affect the public perception of either actress significantly.
The two have previously worked together and have often spoken highly of each other in interviews, making the idea of a feud unlikely.
The speculation began when Witherspoon mentioned an incident involving Winslet in a lighthearted context during her conversation with Ferrell.
Internet users quickly jumped to conclusions, suggesting that Winslet was the “serious, proper actress” Witherspoon referred to.
Despite the playful nature of the comments, the speculation quickly spiraled, prompting Witherspoon to clarify the situation.
