Emily Blunt has found herself under fire after fans found an old clip of her saying some not so nice things about a waitress.<\/p>\n
In a 2012 interview on the Jonathan Ross Show, Emily opened up about eating at the chain restaurant Chili\u2019s while filming the movie Looper in Louisiana<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girl who was serving me was enormous,\u201d Blunt told the host. \u201cI think she got freebie meals at Chili\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though Ross noted that there\u2019s \u201cnothing wrong with that,\u201d he had previously quipped that \u201cwhen you go to Chili\u2019s, you can see why so many of [their] American friends are enormous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily then went on to mimic her southern accent as she recalled her conversation with the waitress.<\/p>\n
