Rami Malek Reached Out To Rachel Bilson After Her Instagram Story Went Viral

Things are okay between Rachel Bilson and Rami Malek again.

If you recall, the 39-year-old former Hart of Dixie actress opened up earlier this month about how Rami DMed her to take down an old photo of them during their high school days as he was campaigning for his Oscar.

“I had posted a throwback of us from our senior trip to New York. We’re super nerdy…just the dorkiest picture of the both of us. But I throw it up, ’cause it’s funny and I think it’s so important to be able to make fun of yourself,” Rachel recalled about the photo during her interview on the Arm Chair Expert podcast.

However, Rami didn’t love it up on Instagram at that time because of his campaign, which led him to win the Best Actor Oscar for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Now, Rachel has an update for fans on the entire situation, after the story went viral.

In a new interview on the LadyGang podcast, Rachel confirmed that it’s now water under the bridge and she and Rami are still friends.

“Rami and I have actually talked,” she shared. “Since that came out, he connected with me and we’re all good. He was so sweet and we’re totally fine now, and we talked about it and we’re good.”

Rachel did open up more about the situation, revealing that she had a “panic attack, [and] I had to go to therapy that day and I was like, ‘I’m having anxiety. I did not want this to resurface in this way. I feel so bad. Oh my god, Rami is going to think I’m doing this again and everything.’”

She added that the photo take down “turned out to be a good thing for reasons. We were able to reconnect and make it better and everything’s great.”

“He was so gracious and I totally understood where he was coming from and he understood me and I was just so happy we were able to squash it and move on,” she shared about what Rami told her. “I get it and I totally understood. And he knew I wasn’t doing it with any ill intentions.”

Rachel has been making headlines a lot lately, and even opened up about what dating her co-star Adam Brody during The O.C. was like!
