Jamie Lee Curtis had a lively reunion with her longtime friend and fellow actress during a recent red carpet event, and she didn’t hold back on what she had to say.
Before you worry—no, there was no fight or drama playing out at a major Hollywood event. What happened instead was Curtis expressing, in her own very colorful way, just how much she appreciated I, Tonya star Allison Janney—and especially Janney’s outfit.
Back in July, the Freaky Friday actress attended the very first Las Culturistas Awards in Los Angeles, an event hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. That’s where she ran into Janney, and things got delightfully chaotic from there.
The moment was captured on video and later posted by Janney on Instagram for everyone to enjoy.
In true Jamie Lee Curtis fashion, her reaction was anything but boring. Rather than insult, her energetic remark was actually a hilarious and heartfelt compliment to how stunning Janney looked.
Janney’s Instagram post included a video clip of Curtis eyeing her outfit and declaring: "You can go f**k yourself," right before the two actresses shared a hug.

Janney added this caption to her post: "What a thrill to attend the @lasculturistas awards!"
"Thank you @fayedunaway and @mattrogerstho and for my favorite red carpet shout out @jamieleecurtis I adore you! Also @sethmcfarlane for my favorite animated shout out."
"Don't miss the Las Culturistas Culture Awards airing August 5th on @BravoTV and streaming on @Peacock! #CultureAwards2025... Oh also, I want to thank my glam team!"
Luckily, fans were quick to understand that Curtis was joking, and they absolutely loved the moment. Many of them jumped into the comments to share how iconic the exchange was.
One fan raved: "Jamie Lee's response to seeing Queen Janney's whole outfit was THE best response! We are all feeling the same."
Someone else chimed in with: "If you're ever having a bad day @allisonbjanney you just need to come to this post and rewatch Jamie Lee Curtis reaction to you! Or the video of that smooth slow catwalk in that outfit! A literal Goddess."
A third fan added: "Omg the legs all the way up to the sky!!! @jamieleecurtis I am stealing this response!!"
And one more summed it up perfectly with: "Love seeing women supporting women."
To be fair, Curtis has built a bit of a reputation for dropping strong language in the most endearing way—especially when it comes to hyping up her friends.
More recently, she also chimed in on the buzz around a rumored romance between Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. She kept it short but powerful, standing up for the two stars with just a few blunt words.
She said: "With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found their way into that relationship, God bless them both!"
"Leave them the f**k alone. And let them like each other because both of them have had hardship and they're both beautiful humans - it makes me cry."
