Naija movie lovers, get ready for some juicy gossip from Hollywood. You may recall the hilarious 2011 film 'Bridesmaids' that starred top actresses like Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy, and Kristin Wiig. Well, in a recent reunion on the live Oscars telecast, it seemed like one of the stars, Wendi McClendon-Covey, was missing in action. In a candid post on Instagram, McClendon-Covey spilled the beans on why she skipped the reunion. She had just undergone a neck lift a week prior to the event, and she didn't want to risk any complications. According to her, she was tired of looking like a melting candle, hence the decision to go under the knife. And, as she put it, "No drama. Everything is fine." The post included a close-up photo of McClendon-Covey's face with medical tape wrapped around her head and under her chin, giving a glimpse into her recovery process. The 'Bridesmaids' reunion brought together many of the film's stars, including Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy, and Kristin Wiig, for a fun segment during the Oscar telecast. McClendon-Covey, who is known for her starring role as the matriarch in the popular NBC comedy 'St. Denis Medical' and her long-running role in 'The Goldbergs,' would have been a great addition to the reunion. However, her absence didn't go unnoticed, with her 'St. Denis Medical' co-star Alison Tolman congratulating her on her neck lift and former 'Saturday Night Live' star Cheri Oteri cheering her on. 'Bridesmaids' was a major hit in the comedy world, paving the way for more female-led adult comedies at the box office. It's great to see the stars from the film coming together to celebrate their success. And, as for McClendon-Covey, it seems like she's taking her recovery in stride, with a happy face and blowing kisses to her fans.
