Allison Williams’ painful experiment
Remember how we dressed weird as kids? Alison Williams just revealed something that would leave Kelly Clarkson speechless.
On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the 37-year-old actress confessed something that would make any parent cringe.
While chatting about childhood fashion with friends from her Landlines podcast, Williams mentioned her wooden clogs, not to mention how cute they were, but something that would make you raise an eyebrow.
“These clogs had thick wooden soles on the bottom,” she recalled, grimacing. “And in fourth grade – God, I’m ashamed now – I would actually kick boys in their sensitive parts just to see what would happen.”
Childhood curiosity takes a wrong turn
What prompted little Alison to do such painful “research”? Normal childhood curiosity took a painful turn.
“Their reactions completely fascinated me,” she admitted.
“These boys who normally looked so tough would suddenly curl up like lawn chairs — sometimes crying, sometimes looking like they were going to throw up.”
The Girls star described her fourth-grade scientific method with embarrassment: “I would actually ask them, ‘Does it really hurt that much?’ And they would say, ‘Yes! I’m really going to throw up!’
From schoolyard prankster to mommy lioness
Looking back now, grown up, Williams offered a genuine apology: “To every boy in my elementary school — I’m sorry.
Seriously hope there wasn’t any permanent damage.”
But the conversation took an unexpected turn when Williams slithered into mom-mode.
Now raising a 3-year-old son, Arlo, with fiancé Alexander Draiman, she sees things completely differently.
“Those poor boys inadvertently taught me something I need to know now as a mother of a boy,” she admitted, and then gave an obvious warning: “Anyone who meets my son later in life – kick him there and I will hunt you down.”
Kelly’s shocked reaction says it all
Clarkson’s face was priceless. When Williams dropped her childhood bombshell, Kelly could only stutter out, “Wait… just curious… what the hell happened?”
In this honest conversation, Williams admitted to her childhood mistakes and showed her determination to protect her young child from similar “experiments.”
Some childhood phases should definitely stay in the past – especially those involving the use of wooden shoes as weapons!
