Dakota Johnson was applauded for calling out a TV host for not letting her speak.
Johnson is known for taking no prisoners, having previously (and now very famously) called out Ellen DeGeneres on her show.
In the rather awkward change between the pair in 2019, DeGeneres made a jibe towards her guest about supposedly not being invited to the actress' birthday party.
But Johnson quickly corrected her.

"Actually, no, that’s not the truth, Ellen, you were invited," she insisted.
"No, last time I was on the show, last year, you gave me a bunch of s**t about not inviting you, but I didn’t even know you wanted to be invited."
Adding that she didn't even know DeGeneres liked her, the Madame Web star went on: "I did invite you, and you didn’t come."
One of DeGeneres' team then confirmed that Johnson was right and that the TV host had been invited but she was unable to attend because of other commitments.
Awkward much?
Well, it turns out Johnson was just as savage towards Jimmy Fallon in 2018 when he kept talking over his celebrity guest on The Tonight Show.
The actress was explaining that she'd been sprayed on by skunks on several different occasions, sparking Fallon to ask for more details.
Johnson went on to say that one incident occurred at Big Sur and, as she tried to give more information to Fallon, the host seemingly got overexcited and bombarded her with more questions - leaving her unable to actually answer.
"Are you supposed to let people talk on this show?" Johnson laughed.
Putting his face into his palms, Fallon and the audience erupted into laughter.
People were quick to applaud the actress for calling out Fallon, and seemed to find her response pretty amusing.
Someone penned on YouTube at the time: "She’s naturally hilarious in an awkward way and I love it!!!"
"Finally someone called him out," said another. "He needs to shut up and let his guests talk."
Someone else laughed: "Dakota calling Fallon out had me in tears, haha!"
Elsewhere, others said that Johnson 'said what’s always on everyone’s mind'.
A different person suggested: "i think she’s the first person to call Jimmy out for talking over someone in an interview."
I mean, it was a fair point...
