Fans are convinced they've uncovered the A-list actress who Reese Witherspoon claims 'doesn't like' her anymore. The Legally Blonde star kicked off the speculation on Thursday when she revealed that an unnamed actress stopped being her friend after she 'roasted' her in a speech at a 'classy' British awards event. Witherspoon told PEOPLE that she's still 'haunted' by the experience and that the actress no longer speaks to her.

'We're not friends anymore. I'm not even kidding — we're not friends anymore,' she said. 'I think she doesn't like me anymore.'. While Witherspoon remained tight-lipped about the actress' identity, internet sleuths believe she's been secretly feuding with fellow Oscar-winner Kate Winslet. This is because Witherspoon once honored the Titanic star on stage at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards back in November 2007.

She delivered a joke-filled speech that included her playfully mocking Winslet's British accent in front of the event's audience. But the most telling detail was an alleged joke about 'laser hair removal,' which Witherspoon had mentioned in Thursday's interview as she recalled parts of the 'embarrassing' speech.

While Witherspoon remained tight-lipped about the actress' identity, internet sleuths believe she's been secretly feuding with fellow Oscar-winner Kate Winslet. This is because Witherspoon once honored the Titanic star on stage at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards back in November 2007. 'I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglasses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, and have savoir faire and gravitas,' Witherspoon's speech began, according to JustJared, who uncovered parts of the transcript on a Witherspoon fan site.

'Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood, rang my door bell and said, (insert British accent here) "Dahling, Sam is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it's almost 9 o'clock and I've had nothing to do drink, do you have any wine?". She then went on speak about Winslet's 'fearlessness' when it came to her famous nude scene in the 2001 film Iris.

'When I saw her in and she took off all her clothes and jumped into that lake, I thought, "Wow, I bet that lake is really cold." And then I thought, "Wow, There’s an actor without fear,"' Witherspoon teased. She then told the crowd that she couldn't share any personal stories about her and Winslet because 'they’re all too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell.'. The 'embarrassing' stories in question, according to the fan site, were 'the time [Witherspoon and Winslet] contemplated laser hair removal and… or that time on the freeway when they pulled over and.. or that really funny thing that happened when they were both in their underwear.'.

In her PEOPLE interview, Witherspoon explained that the actress, who many think is Winslet, has asked her to speak at the event on her behalf. She delivered a joke-filled speech that included her playfully mocking Winslet's British accent in front of the event's audience. But the most telling detail was an alleged joke about 'laser hair removal,' which Witherspoon had mentioned in Thursday's interview as she recalled parts of the speech.

'It was pretty bad. Yeah. Not even kidding, she doesn't talk to me anymore. Oh well,' Witherspoon told PEOPLE on Thursday; Winslet seen at the 2007 event. Along with the star's name, Witherspoon did not reveal the name of the ceremony or when it took place. 'It literally haunts me,' she confessed before recounting the 'embarrassing' moment for the outlet. 'So this friend of mine — who I didn't really know that well, but she was a very serious, proper actress — she asked me to give her an award,' she explained.

'But I had never been to this award ceremony, so I thought it was like a roast. So I got up and I roasted her.'. However, Witherspoon quickly realized that her 'funny' speech wasn't landing with the event's audience. 'The tone [of the event] was British and elegant and classy. And I was like, 'Remember the time we got laser hair removal?!'' Witherspoon recalled with a laugh. She added: 'I'm still embarrassed about it.'.

'I thought it was so funny and it was just, I had the wrong audience,' she said of the speech. 'It was pretty bad. Yeah. Not even kidding, she doesn't talk to me anymore. Oh well,' the Oscar-winner concluded. 'I thought it was so funny and it was just, I had the wrong audience,' she said of the speech; Witherspoon seen on Tuesday.
