Fans are taking Emma Roberts’ side after a TikTok user attempted to argue that the actress’ allegedly sassy behavior at a party in New York City was “rude.”
In a video shared Wednesday, influencer @samanthamoweryxx recalled meeting the “Scream Queens” star at the “Good Burger 2” premiere afterparty in Los Angeles one night prior.
Mowery, who boasts 800,000 followers on the platform, claimed she was struggling to climb onto “a giant burger bed” on site. She was about to take photos with her brother when she felt someone touch her backside.
“All of a sudden, I feel somebody, like, touch my butt and shove me up and said, ‘Get up there, bitch,’” she alleged. “My brother was like, ‘Is that Emma Roberts?’”
She claimed Roberts, 32, “did that and then walked away,” so she and her brother decided to approach her to say hello.
“Right when we get up to her, she’s so rude, which is fine because she’s Emma Roberts. But then I said, ‘Why are you being a bitch?’ [because] I was like eight margaritas deep,” Mowery claimed.
“Then she just turns to me and she’s like, ‘Do you want a photo?’ She was also like, ’only a selfie and I need my good side.’ But because she was a bitch it made it so much more iconic. So it was, like, the best interaction I’ve ever had.”
Several people jumped into the comments section to defend the “American Horror Story” star from being labelled rude – even though Mowery clarified that she was actually a fan of the actress’ alleged behavior.
“She wasn’t being a bitch she was being real,” one person commented, to which she responded, “TRUEEEEE i love the word bitch though i meant it like she was being sassy which is iconic.”
Another user wrote, “wait why do I love this whole interaction,” to which Mowery replied, “right omfg it was a life changing experience.”
A third person chimed in, “Emma roberts is my queen,” while another suggested she “was actually [trying to be] helpful” by pushing the TikToker onto the giant prop bed.
Pvnew has reached out to Roberts’ reps for comment.
Other photos from the afterparty showed the actress posing with Kenan Thompson and Johnny Ryan.
The film is a sequel to the 1997 flick starring Thompson and Kel Mitchell.
