Blunt also spoke about the personal significance of the Gala, explaining her deep connection to the cause. “I’m so invested,” she shared. “I struggled with a stutter most of my childhood, I have endless, bottomless empathy for people who go through it, and I still feel there’s not enough awareness about stuttering out there.”
