Retta Recalls Ripping Her Pantyhose in Church<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you’ve ever been subject to a public outfit malfunction, you probably get it.<\/p>\n

Accidentally ripping your pants\u2014or pantyhose\u2014in pretty much any non-private setting can be a real downer. (Not to mention a serious inconvenience.) But ripping your pants in church? As a teenager<\/em>? That mostly just sounds like a nightmare. But for a seasoned jokester like Retta<\/a><\/strong>, it’s all fodder for her comedy.<\/p>\n

In this ridiculously funny clip from Monday’s Busy Tonight<\/em>, the Good Girls<\/em> star narrates an exceedingly charismatic play-by-play account of the unfortunate morning some 35 years ago when she ripped her pantyhose before youth service and then made a very creative attempt to remedy the situation.<\/p>\n

“When I was like 15 or 16 back in Jersey, the Dirty Jerz as we call it, I was in my church youth group because I love Jesus,” the Garden State native cracks, while a dramatized reenactment of the experience plays out onscreen. Retta goes on to explain that she was already running late for the service when a slight snag in her pantyhose suddenly became a full-blown tear.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I don’t have time to save this look,” she deadpans. “So, I MacGyvered it.”<\/p>\n

The highly resourceful teen decided to “cut the hose and put rubber bands on them to hold them up, like a garter,” despite the fact that she’d never worn one before. “It’s not gonna be comfortable,” Retta continues. “But again, for Jesus.”<\/p>\n

 The stopgap fix proves sturdy enough, all the way up to the end of the service.<\/p>\n

“As I’m walking up [for communion], I can feel the leg starting to roll. I’m sweating. I’m panicking. I know it’s visible,” she remembers. And while a 15- or 16-year-old Retta ended up at the alter with “pantyhose rolling down to my ankles,” the actor ultimately thinks her younger self got away with it.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if the priest noticed,” she says. But either way, “He’s a man of the cloth so I suspect he’s not gonna call a bitch out.”<\/p>\n

Hard to argue with that logic! Hear the sidesplitting story in full\u2014and find out which former Bachelor<\/em> stars Retta knows in real life\u2014in the clips above!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
