Dancing With the Stars contestant and comedian Connor Wood has apologized to Jennifer Lawrence for ignoring her in New York City, according to an exclusive interview with E! News that Hollywood Life cites. The apology followed a viral exchange that began when Wood, who is competing on season 35 with pro Rylee Arnold, said on a BuzzFeed Celeb sit-down that he wanted only "a little acknowledgment" from Lawrence that he is funny.
Lawrence answered on Instagram, the account she joined only this year, with a line that turned the joke around: she had seen him on 8th Avenue drinking a smoothie and he had paid her no mind. Wood reposted her reply to his Instagram Stories on October 28, and E! News describes her jab as the running gag of his season.
Wood co-hosts the podcast "Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast." Arnold has teased that Lawrence owes him a proper do-over, a playful remark rather than any reported plan for a meeting. Hollywood Life's reporting covers the public exchange and the apology; it does not give further detail about the New York encounter or whether the two have spoken since, so the story is best read as a light, fan-facing back-and-forth rather than anything more.
