"I knew she wore a bonnet in something," she told the host.
Upon meeting her however, Hannah says Emma's lack of "reading the room" meant that the two shared a deep, teary embrace - later followed by a rather interesting first text.Nanette covers topics including toxic male behavior, a conversation Emma has also explored when addressing the Harvey Weinstein scandal as a "crisis in masculinity."
