Salma Hayek poured a glass of water over Eminem at the Oscars Awards night. However, it was not done on purpose.

What Really Happened?

The famous actress shared through her Instagram account the truth about how she poured water on Eminem by accident. The incident occurred while they were backstage at the prestigious awarding ceremony on Sunday. She shared that they had run into each other backstage. 

On Instagram, she humorously remarked on the photo of the two. She described that photo as something that shows them being "best friends." She explained in detail what happened backstage. 

Salma Hayek was walking towards the stage because she was readying herself to ascend the stage. However, due to the rush of the event, she accidentally poured water over the rapper after they had crossed-paths backstage. 

After the accident, she immediately observed the rapper and her expression. She noticed that she was mortified with what happened. When she looked over to Eminem, she noticed that he was terrified. Her immediate response was to wipe the mess she had caused. Afterward, she immediately hugged Eminem and spoke about being delighted by the rapper. She even shared with the rapper that she is a 'huge' fan. 

The star confessed how disappointed she was with herself to make a fool out of herself while in front of the world-renowned rapper. However, her mood changed after reading a Rolling Stone article about the event. She was so glad and thanked Eminem out loud during the interview.

Eminem's Delayed Oscar Spotlight Opportunity

During the interview, Eminem provided an explanation about his unannounced "Lose Yourself" performance. It took him 17 years to perform another good number after the release of his famous hit from the OST of '8 Mile'. This hit had helped him attain an Oscar Award for the Best Original Song. The performance had caught the attention of the majority of the audiences. Also, people are making news out of the performance through social media.

An article from TooFab stated that he shared how it was good that he had taken the opportunity to perform the hit. He was not able to perform the hit on stage the last time because he has no idea that it was going to win in the Oscars. 

Although he had recently performed it in the 2020 Oscars, in the past he believed that it was not a good decision to perform the hit. 

He had also turned down an offer to perform down due to his disagreement of performing an uncensored version. He pointed out the song is of the cleanest among his other singles because of its lesser number of curse words.

He did not attend the past Oscars when he won the award. Instead, he was at home with his daughter. He shared how he did not bother to watch the awards night. He remembered that during that time, Hailie had school the next day so he was asleep.

When asked how he felt about the belated Oscar spotlight, he said he was happy. He even commented on being privileged to get a hug from Salma Hayek.
