Jodie Foster did not go off on a journalist for confusing her with Helen Hunt at a nail salon. Gossip Cop can bust this fabricated story. Were told it was made up by a tabloid and never happened.
According to the repeatedly discredited National Enquirer, Foster supposedly had a run-in at an unnamed West Hollywood nail salon with a foreign reporter, who began heaping praise of the actress and director, including gushing about her being an Academy Award winner. The supermarket tabloid claims a source at the unnamed nail salon heard the journalist then allegedly tell Foster, I just loved your old TV sitcom.
When Foster reportedly shot this journalist a glare and barked that shed never, ever starred on a sitcom, the reporter allegedly told the actress, Sure you did that one with Paul Reiser, referring 90s sitcom Mad About You. The magazines seeming phony source adds that Foster replied, Youre confusing me with Helen Hunt! If that werent absurd enough, the tabloid alleges Foster further slammed the seemingly concocted reporter when she supposedly added in unnatural language, Even the part about me winning an Oscar is wrong. Ive won two dammit!
Here is whats accurate in the Enquirers story: Jodie Foster has won two Oscars. Here is whats inaccurate in the Enquirers story: Everything else. This whole tale about Foster being confused for Hunt in a nail salon is all fabricated. Gossip Cop would have called the alleged nail salon, but the tabloid conveniently didnt mention its name, making it tougher for us to fact-check. Still, we reached out to a source close to Foster, an were told the alleged incident never happened and the magazines account is completely made up.
