The actress joined Ellen DeGeneres on her at-home talk show on Wednesday, where she was asked by the host about a different incident in which she forgot to wear a bra during a live cooking show. However, Ellen pointed out that that wasn’t the only instance in which Tiffany made an embarrassing mistake on camera recently.
“Okay so, Zoom—, and I thought whoever is on the front thing, whoever’s talking, that’s who we can see,” Tiffany explained to Ellen. “So I was like ‘I ain’t going to say nothing and I’ve got to use the restroom.’ I didn’t want to leave the meeting either, so I took the phone with me, ’cause I didn’t know you could scroll over and everybody can see everybody. I didn’t know. So I took it with me and then I start using the bathroom and they’re like ‘Tiffany, you know we know you’re in the restroom right now.’ I was like, ‘Y’all can see me?!'”
After she and Ellen share a laugh, Tiffany added, “Needless to say, I sold that show!” Besides reliving her recent humiliations, Tiffany also told Ellen about , through the Bumble dating app. “I am single, but I’m dating,” she explained. “I’ve been using Bumble. Bumble started this virtual dating thing and it has been great. I went on a virtual date with and it was super fun.” Patiently waiting for the day these two finally confirm their highly speculated relationship.
