"In response to some of the dms I'm getting: I had a neck lift last week because I'm tired of looking like a melting candle. So I had to skip the Academy Awards. No drama. Everything is fine."
"To mark the 15th anniversary of the 2011 romantic comedy, co-stars Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Ellie Kemper reunited onstage to present two awards for Best Original Score and Best Sound, with the trophies going to Sinners and F1, respectively."
During the 2024 Academy Awards, four Bridesmaids cast members—Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Ellie Kemper—reunited onstage to present awards for Best Original Score and Best Sound. Notably absent was Wendi McLendon-Covey, who played Rita in the 2011 film. After fans questioned her absence, McLendon-Covey clarified via Instagram that she had undergone a neck lift the previous week and was recovering in the hospital. She humorously explained she was tired of looking like a melting candle and had to skip the ceremony. The reunion included a comedic bit where cast members read audience notes making age-related jokes, with appearances from celebrities like Stellan Skarsgård and Leonardo DiCaprio.
