Ali Fedotowsky says Jake Gyllenhaal made her cry
Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky may be a red carpet pro now — but things didn’t go so smoothly early in her career as a correspondent.
In fact, that’s what Ali says on her very first day as E! News reporter Jake Gyllenhaal accidentally made her cry.
In a recent episode of the Women On Top podcast, Ali joked that she was going “to Taylor Swift’s” Jake, revealing exactly what happened.
“Jake Gyllenhaal shows up on the red carpet… My first red carpet for E! News … He walks towards me, my heels are shaking,” Ali explained.
She continued, “I say to him, ‘Hi Jake, who did you bring tonight?’ Like, for a date, like, who’s your date tonight? … He says, ‘bye bye’ and walked away from me.
Ali admits she cried when he left, worried she would lose her job after failing the interview.
Although the interaction with Jake upset her, she said he also did it to the interviewer right next to her.
“There’s an interviewer next to me, and her question to him was, ‘Well, if you don’t get an Oscar for this movie, those tattoos should definitely be,’ because he was all tattooed for his movie,” Ali shared. “He says ‘bye’ and walked away because he’s a serious actor.”
Ali added that celebrities who are rude on red carpets really bother her because she knows how easy it is to be polite at events like this.
“I’ve walked so many red carpets and done countless interviews because of ‘The Bachelorette,’ and I know how easy it is to be nice,” Ali explained.
