In light of the swirling speculation that Witherspoon and Winslet had a falling out, the Big Little Lies star took to Instagram to set the record straight. 

“Hey guys … just spoke to my very dear friend for years, Kate W,” Witherspoon wrote.

“We laughed about this stupidity. Please do not believe the internet,” she continued. “We are good friends and have never had any falling out.”

Witherspoon made a follow-up post alongside an article on the situation, writing: “This is completely UNTRUE …so silly!”

Last week, Witherspoon revealed in an interview with People, “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.”

“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.”

Witherspoon explained that she got the tone completely wrong at the “classy” and “elegant” event and cracked a joke that didn’t land – especially not with her friend.

“I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?'” she recalled. “I’m still embarrassed about it.”

Witherspoon says the actress, who she did not name, was not impressed and that it saw the end of their friendship.

“We’re not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding – we’re not friends anymore,” she laughed.

“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.”
