Meryl Streep’s Reaction to Mariah Carey Stealing Her Seat at the Golden Globes Is Everything

In recent entertainment news, legendary actress and overall queen, Meryl Streep, confirmed a hilariously awkward story on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week. 

At the 75th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Mariah Carey apparently took Streep’s seat at the ceremony — and naturally, Meryl had the best things to say about their interaction. 

After Carey tweeted about the incident, Streep told Kimmel, “Bitch stole my seat. I came over and there she was, you know, next to Spielberg sucking up. She said, ‘Oh my god, they made me sit down because we were moving.’ They say, ‘5,4,3,2,1’ wherever you are, everybody has to drop to their [seat]. I said, ‘No, no, no, stay there. I’ll sit on your lap.'”

It must feel pretty amazing to have one of the best actresses of all time say, “You can take my seat anytime!”

This hilarious moment is one of the many memorable parts of the Globes this year, and both of the reactions from these incredibly talented women just make the whole thing even more amusing.
