The cast of "New Girl" reunited at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball on Saturday, marking a rare public appearance together. Zooey Deschanel, Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone, and Damon Wayans Jr. attended the event to be honored.
The reunion comes with a noted discrepancy regarding how Greenfield had previously described a potential cast gathering. The actor's earlier claims about a reunion differ from what actually occurred at the gala, though specifics of his prior statements were not detailed in available reports.
The Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, a charitable event, brought together the full ensemble cast of the Fox comedy series that ran for seven seasons before concluding in 2018. The show centered on Deschanel's character and her life with roommates played by Greenfield, Johnson, Morris, and Wayans Jr., while Simone portrayed another key character in the group dynamic.
Public reunions of the complete cast have been infrequent since the series ended. Saturday's appearance marked one of the few occasions when all six principal actors appeared together in recent years. The event honored the cast members for their work and cultural impact, according to the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball's recognition of entertainment figures.
