In a recently resurfaced interview from 2012, British actress Emily Blunt has come forward to apologize for fat-shaming a female server. The "Edge of Tomorrow" star made the insensitive remarks while appearing on the U.K.'s Jonathan Ross Show. Blunt referred to the server at a Chili's location as "enormous," and her comments have since sparked outrage.

"I just need to address this head on as my jaw was on the floor watching this clip from 12-years ago," Blunt expressed in a statement obtained by People magazine. "I'm appalled that I would say something so insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell on a talk show."

Blunt, who is known for her role in "The Devil Wears Prada," continued by stating, "I've always considered myself someone who wouldn't dream of upsetting anyone, so whatever possessed me to say anything like this in that moment is unrecognizable to me or anything I stand for. And yet it happened, and I said it, and I'm so sorry for any hurt caused. I was absolutely old enough to know better."

While a representative for Blunt has not yet responded to requests for comment from Fox News Digital, the actress's apology has brought attention to her remarks made during the interview. At the time, Blunt was promoting her film "Looper," alongside co-stars Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. During the talk show appearance, she shared her experience filming in the small town of Thibodaux, Louisiana.

Blunt recounted finding herself at a Chili's restaurant and made the controversial comment in response to host Jonathan Ross's joke about American friends being “enormous” due to dining at Chili's. "Well the girl who was serving me was enormous. You know, I think she got freebie meals at Chilis," Blunt had retorted.

The resurfacing of this interview has caused public backlash, with many criticizing Blunt for body-shaming and perpetuating harmful stereotypes. However, some have also acknowledged her apology and willingness to take responsibility for her words.

In recent news, Blunt, who is married to actor John Krasinski, has announced her decision to step away from the spotlight in order to prioritize spending time with her daughters. While her career has been successful and filled with notable performances, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and sensitivity in the public eye.
