Jennifer Lopez Says A Mortified Ayo Edebiri Apologized For Old Comments After SNL

Jennifer Lopez says she got a tearful apology from Ayo Edebiri after their Saturday Night Live episode earlier this month.

When the lead of The Bear and the On The Floor singer were paired together for the Feb. 3 show, people uncovered a 2020 podcast episode where Edebiri spoke about J.Lo in less than flattering terms.

But Lopez told Variety how the Emmy-winning actor cleared the air as soon as their SNL episode wrapped.

She was mortified and very sweet, Lopez said. She came to my dressing room and apologized with tears in her eyes, saying how terrible it was that she had said those things.

Lopez said Edebiri felt really badly and told the Selena star she loved my performance because we had just done my soundcheck and she actually got to hear me perform.

She was just like, Im so fucking sorry, it was so awful of me, she added.

Lopez went on to tell Variety that she wasnt fazed by Edebiris resurfaced comments, in which she joked that J.Los whole career has been one long scam.

Its funny, Lopez said. Ive heard similar things said about me throughout my career, so it really didnt affect me.

Edebiri addressed her foot-in-mouth moment during a game show-styled SNL sketch called Whyd You Say It?

OK. We get it, she buzzed in. Its wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast, and you dont consider the impact because youre 24 and stupid.
