Robby Hoffman Says She Stormed Out of Emmys After Losing Guest Actress Award

Her June 23 podcast account says she left the 2025 Creative Arts Emmys in shock, was comforted backstage and later returned because she was contractually required to present an award.

Overview

  • Hoffman recounted the episode on the Bald and the Beautiful podcast on June 23, 2026, with host Trixie Mattel present and later reported by multiple outlets.
  • She said she was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series and was surprised to lose to Hacks co-star Julianne Nicholson.
  • Hoffman described leaving the awards room immediately after the result when her sister physically escorted her out and Mattel found her backstage to offer comfort.
  • She attempted to skip a later presenting duty but said producers told her the appearance was part of the program, and she returned after calming down to present Outstanding Cinematography for a Series (Half-Hour).
  • Hoffman praised Nicholson as deserving, noted she already won a 2019 Emmy for writing, and the coverage has framed the account as a personal, human-interest story rather than an accusation against the Emmys or Nicholson.
