Rashida Jones Shares Childhood Story of Being Bitten by Michael Jackson’s Pet Chimpanzee
Rashida Jones recently opened up about a wild childhood memory involving none other than Michael Jackson’s pet chimpanzee, Bubbles. During an appearance on “Hot Ones,” Rashida recounted a surprising and somewhat traumatic incident that happened when she was just a kid.
The Unexpected Encounter
Rashida explained that she used to spend time at Michael Jackson’s house because her dad, Quincy Jones, worked closely with the King of Pop. One day, young Rashida found herself in a bit of a tussle with Bubbles. The chimp had taken a liking to her hairband and decided to snatch it right off her head.
A Hairband Heist
Not one to back down, Rashida instinctively slapped Bubbles to reclaim her hairband. But Bubbles wasn’t having any of it. In retaliation, the chimp bit her on the hand! Rashida described the bite as quite painful and definitely memorable.
Looking Back
Though the experience was scary at the time, Rashida can now laugh about the bizarre encounter. She shared the story with a sense of humor, even if it did involve a bit of childhood trauma. It’s not every day you get bitten by a celebrity pet, after all!
So, next time you’re hanging out with a friend’s exotic pet, maybe think twice before slapping it—even if it does steal your favorite accessory!
