Joey Kingthinks you can all give her “glambot” rankings a rest.

In a recentTikTok, the 25-year-oldFamily Affairactress playfully addressed ongoing online chatter at her expense regarding a 2019 viral red carpet moment.

“I mean, what’s there to say?” King said in response to a fan named Ava who asked her to “[please] talk about your glam bot.”

“We’ve all seen it," theKissing Boothactress continued with a laugh. “It sucks.”

The viral moment in question stemmed from 2019, when King walked the red carpet at the 2019 People’s Choice Awards and stopped to do a “glambot” video for E!.

Their correspondent explained how the recording would work, letting theUgliesactress know that “movement is good for this thing.”

“Oh goody,” she hesitantly replied while listening to further instructions.

“It’s a high-speed camera, so the more movement you can give us, the better,” she was told.

The E! correspondent suggested that King try a spin, which she did, ending with a thumbs up.

TheRamona and Beezusstar redeemed herself at the2024 SAG Awardswhen she saw the E! glambot once again — this time giving a fierce and sultry hair flip as the camera spun around her.

During an appearance on theNot Skinny Not Fatpodcast in July 2024, as the 2019 clip continued to gain steam online, King said the glambot video that won’t seem to go away was filmed “so long ago.”

“And my favorite part [is that] people don’t know that,” she explained. “They think it’s recent.”

When host Amanda Hirsch asked King if she no longer hated the viral video or cared if others watched it, theActstar had an interesting response.

“No, watch it and hate it,” King said. “It’s gross.”

“It’s so funny,” she continued. “It’s honestly really funny because I hated it when it came out, and then no one saw it when it came out … and then, years later.”

“That’s what kills me about the internet,” Hirsch added.

She also asked King if the thing that made people talk so much about the glambot was the “thumbs up” at the end. King assured her that the masses were laughing because it looked like “I have no teeth.”

“Like what, why do I look like I have no teeth?” King asked.
