“In these pictures it might look like @Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk on stage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him,” she tweeted.

“If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified of me. As I was trying to wipe it off I impulsively hugged him and I said ‘Nice to meet you Eminem – I’m a HUGE fan!’ because I AM! But I was so disappointed that I made such a fool of myself in front of him…”

But she was stoked when she read the rapper’s account of his Oscars night out in Rolling Stone and he revealed a highlight was hugging Salma.”

Eminem made his debut at the Academy Awards on Sunday, when he performed his 2003 Best Song Oscar winner “Lose Yourself” from “8 Mile.”
