Via The Hollywood Reporter, Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live, Despicable Me) and Rose Byrne (Instant Family, Peter Rabbit) reunite after being co-stars in the 2011 film Bridesmaids. Wiig proceeds to state that the food poisoning scene was not in the original script. Rather, it was a part of the process of getting the cast members’ opinion on their characters.

After a sequence appears on the Vanity Fair interview as the bridesmaids appear sweaty after a fitting in a prestige bridal shop, Wiig stated: “That was a sequence that came later in the writing process that we sort of embraced and like, OK, we’ll write our version of this type of thing. We just kind of made it our own. We don’t want to see any vomit [but] you can find a way to do your version of it.”

She went on to comment, “It was so fun to do that scene and to see … everyone’s version of not feeling well and trying to hide it. It was fun to watch the ladies do their thing.”

An Esquire interview with director Paul Feig took place in 2017 where he included a different take of his own, “There’s a deleted sequence where, after Becca throws up on Rita’s head, she has to throw up again, so she runs out of the bathroom and down the hall, thinking that there’s another bathroom at the end of the hallway. It turns out that the door opens onto Whitney’s office; she throws the door open and projectile vomits across this beautiful white office, and all over the wedding picture of Whitney and her husband.”

Feig expands on the filming and editing process of the comedy, “We shot a lot of outrageous stuff knowing that we could adjust the balance later,” he added. “The minute we shot that sequence, we all said, ‘I think this is a bridge too far.’ So we scrapped that.”

Bridesmaids stars Byrne as Helen, Wiig as Annie, Ellie Kempter (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Office) as Becca, Maya Rudolph (Grown Ups, Big Hero 6) as Lillian, Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Search for Santa Paws, The Goldbergs) as Rita and Melissa McCarthy (Gilmore Girls, Tammy) as Megan. Bridesmaids is available to stream on multiple streaming platforms.
