Jon told Page Six that he noticed Aubrey was “being blocked by about 15 people,” so he told her to “look to the front.”

He also said that he noticed Aubrey‘s underboob popping out of her dress and told her, “You might want to fix that first.” He thinks she was “just being funny” when she mouthed, “Jesus Christ.”

Jon said, “I think what she was intimating is why would that be a problem if my nipple is showing. That’s her humor — She has that dry, dead-pan wit; that’s her biting wit.”

Jon also revealed that he texted Aubrey this morning to ask if she was upset. She responded, “No! Not at all!”

Aubrey was with the rest of the cast at their after party until around 1:30am, according to Jon.

Here’s what Aubrey‘s stylist had to say in defense of her revealing dress.
