Renee Elise Goldsberry blames ‘drunken scrolling’ for hilarious message mistaking Gossip Girl’s Laura Benanti’s positive COVID test for a pregnancy announcement
Renee Elise Goldsberry started a hilarious social media thread after misreading a post from her friend Laura Benanti on Monday.
Laura, 43, who co-stars with Jennifer Lawrence in the upcoming film No Hard Feelings, shared the results of a positive covid test on social media, writing: ‘Happy new year? (I got tested the day of the ballet and it was negative… I also wore my mask so everyone is safe, don’t worry!)’
Renee apparently only saw the ‘positive’ and ‘test’ part of the message, and excitedly wrote ‘AAAAAAH! Congratulations!’ – thinking it’s a pregnancy announcement.
