“Pretty Woman” actress Julia Roberts mocked Donald Trump during a recent appearance at the 63rd New York Film Festival.
Roberts was at Lincoln Center on Sept. 26 to promote her new film with Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield, “After the Hunt,” and she gave a subtle dig at the president when asked a question about cancel culture by a member of the audience.
Trump gave a disastrous speech to the UN General Assembly in New York City on Sept. 23, with one of the most shocking moments being when he told the world leaders of the countries in attendance, “Your countries are going to hell.” He later insulted the U.N. by asking, “What is the purpose of the United Nations?”
When a person in the audience asked the cast, “Do you think there is a wake-up call for cancel culture in the United States?” Roberts replied by joking, “You should answer over at the UN right now,” which received applause from the audience as well as laughter, according to The US Mirror.
The “Eat, Pray, Love” star has received Trump’s wrath before, as she spoke about not voting for Trump in a campaign ad for Vice President Kamala Harris when she ran against him in the 2024 election.
Roberts narrated the ad, which encouraged women to vote for Harris, not Trump, and the president did not take it well, according to MSN.
“I’m so disappointed at Julia Roberts,” he said. “Because I love, she’s going to look back at that and cringe that, did I really say that?”
Trump went on to trash her relationship with her husband, Daniel Moder. Roberts and Moder have been married for more than 20 years and share three kids — Hazel, Henry, and Phinnaeus.
“It doesn’t say much for her relationship, but I’m sure she has a great relationship,” added Trump. “Even if you have a horrible, if you had a bad relationship, you’re going to tell your husband. That’s a ridiculous ad. It’s so stupid. You’re going to look back some days and just say, ‘Did I really make that?’”
“After the Hunt” will have its theatrical debut on Oct. 10 via Amazon MGM.
