Monica Ruiz: 'Peloton wife' actress Monica Ruiz blames her face for the ad …

(CNN) The Peloton wife has spoken, and from now on, she’d like to be known as anything but the star of the ad that exploded the internet’s collective brains.

The ad, which showed Ruiz tirelessly vlogging a year’s worth of Peloton workouts after her husband gifted her the stationary bike, was called sexist, tone-deaf and alarming, to name a few.

Ruiz jokingly accepted the blame for that last part.

“Honestly, I think it was just my face.

It was my fault,” she told Kotb.
