Ayo Edebiri won her first Golden Globes award for her role in the TV comedy-drama “The Bear” on Sunday.
Edibiri was annoyed when reporters constantly asked about co-star Jeremy Allen White’s Calvin Klein ad.
Last week, photos from White’s underwear ad went viral on social media.
Edebiri wanted reporters at the Golden Globes to know that White is her co-worker, and the Globes was not the place to ask her such questions.
The 28-year-old actress rolled her eyes when a reporter from “Access Hollywood” asked her what she thought about White’s Calvin Klein ad.
Edebiri responded: “I’m happy for him. That’s my boy, I do feel like I want people to understand that he’s my coworker!”
Later, ET’s Kevin Frazier asked her, “Did you guys get underwear or anything because of the ad?”
Edebiri ignored the question and said she wanted to work out more.
“I’m bulking up!” she said. “I’m on the protein, I’m on the creatine. I’m bulking. And I’m getting fit.”
She was asked again about White’s underwear ad during an interview with her fellow cast members.
Extra TV’s Melvin Robert brought out a large poster of White in his Calvin Klein briefs.
“What went through your mind when you all saw this?” Robert asked, turning the poster around to reveal the ad.
Without saying a word, Edebiri grabbed the poster and began to walk away with it while Robert asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m putting it away. I’m putting it away for my boy!” Edebiri said half jokingly.
“That’s my boy! That’s my boy! This is a work function … you know what I mean?”
Actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach (right), who plays Richie in the show, also showed his frustration.
“We’re not at like underwear awards, you know what I mean?” he said. “We’re here to talk about our show and what we do here.”
TikTok users agreed with Edebiri that reporters went too far.
One user said the reporters’ questions bordered on s*xual harassment in the workplace.
“she’s about to call HR,” one fan wrote on TikTok.
