Reese Witherspoon Addresses Rumors with Kate Winslet: The Implications of a Possible Feud
The Big Little Lies actress has finally addressed the rumors that she and Kate Winslet were at odds, with Witherspoon posting a statement on Instagram that dismissed the speculation as “stupidity.”
The Resurfacing Rumors
The rumors of a feud between the Titanic actor and Witherspoon first began when the Big Little Lies actor appeared to accidentally reveal the name of an A-list actor who “doesn’t like” her after a speech-gone-wrong at the end of January.

“It was pretty bad,” Witherspoon, who stars in the new comedy You’re Cordially Invited, with Will Ferrell, told People. “Yeah, not even kidding — she doesn’t talk to me anymore.”
According to the actor, she is still “haunted” and “embarrassed” by the reaction to her speech, which she wrongly assumed should be a roast sending up the unnamed star, which many deduced to be Kate Winslet.
“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,” Witherspoon said. “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. The tone was British and elegant and classy, and I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?!’”
Internet sleuths jumped to action and quickly surmised that Witherspoon might be talking about Titanic star Winslet.
Their evidence derived from the fact that Witherspoon poked fun at the British actor while presenting her with an award at the Bafta/LA Cunard Britannia Awards — and cracked a joke about laser hair removal.
A Witherspoon fan site, as flagged by JustJared, states that the actor said in November 2007: “I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglasses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, and have savoir-faire and gravitas. “Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood, rang my doorbell, and said, ‘Darling, Sam [Mendes, Winslet’s ex] is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it’s almost nine o’clock and I’ve had nothing to do drink. So you have any wine?’”
She then revealed that the pair once considered getting laser hair removal and also hinted at a funny escapade in their underwear, telling the crowd she can’t delve into the stories as “they’re all too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell.”
Witherspoon said in the new interview: “I thought it was so funny and it was, just, I had the wrong audience.”
The Fallout: Kate Winslet’s Response
The actress has also weighed in on the rumors, stating that she was “haunted” and “embarrassed” by the reaction to her speech, which she had wrongly assumed would be a roast.
In an interview with People, Witherspoon revealed that she had never been to an award ceremony where she would be roasted, and that she had mistakenly believed that the event would be a roast.
Witherspoon also hinted at a funny escapade that took place during the ceremony, stating that she and Winslet had once considered getting laser hair removal together and had joked about it in a speech.
The Fallout Continues: Paul Wesley’s Divorce and Romantic Links
The actress’s ex-husband, Paul Wesley, has filed for divorce from his estranged wife, Ines de Ramon, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
According to the documents, obtained by Us Weekly, the former couple’s assets will be disposed of at trial or by stipulation. They do not share any children together.
Meanwhile, Winslet has been linked to Brad Pitt, 59, and has sent de Ramon a large bouquet of pink peonies on Valentine’s Day.
Wesley is currently dating model Natalie Kuckenberg, and the two were spotted together at the Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb party for Emily Ratajkowski.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Reese Witherspoon’s recent statement addressing the rumored feud with Kate Winslet has finally shed light on the long-standing speculation surrounding their supposed rift. The article delved into the details of the supposed feud, tracing its origins to a 2011 interview where Witherspoon seemingly dissed Winslet’s Oscar-winning performance in “The Reader”. However, Witherspoon’s latest statement, where she denied the existence of any feud, has put the rumors to rest.
The significance of this topic lies in its ability to highlight the fragility of celebrity relationships and the media’s penchant for sensationalizing conflicts. The constant scrutiny and attention given to celebrities’ personal lives can often lead to misunderstandings and misinformation. Furthermore, the supposed feud between Witherspoon and Winslet serves as a reminder that even the most seemingly amiable celebrities can have their differences.
