"The internet never disappoints,” she said. “I knew
there was a video but I was never going to put it to light. I honestly didn’t
think anyone would pick up on that scene, so it was hilarious when they found
it.
“To be fair, the lighting outside was much better than the
room, anyway, so I don’t want anyone to feel bad. Even if they had filmed it, I
promise it wasn’t that dramatic. I’m not saying, ‘Don’t do it. But from my
experience, I would maybe say think twice.”
