The 68-year-old actress called the 30-year-old star, sweet and kind, suggesting he just got too relaxed and spoke out of turn. She shared these thoughts in an exclusive interview at a March 15th event. Dresher pointed out Shalamay's background in a family of artists, noting he's been around fine arts his whole life. She doesn't believe he intended his words to land the way they did, given what she knows of him. Many see this as a chance for growth in the public eye. Dresser hopes it becomes a teachable moment, reminding everyone how quickly fan adoration can flip to criticism.

You live and learn, especially when you're young and under constant spotlight. At the Oscars, host Conan O'Brien poked fun at the viral moment during his opening monologue.
