Turns out, Patti LuPone’s alleged feud with fellow Broadway icon Audra McDonald may be one-sided.
On Thursday, “CBS Mornings” unveiled a teaser video of co-host Gayle King’s upcoming interview with McDonald, who received her 11th Tony Award nomination for the current revival of “Gypsy,” in which she makes history as the first Black actor to portray Momma Rose.
In the interview, set to air next week, King asks McDonald for her response to LuPone’s claim, which appeared in The New Yorker’s bombshell profile of LuPone, that there’s a rift between the two actors.
“If there’s a rift between us, I don’t know what it is,” McDonald said. “That’s something you’d have to ask Patti about.”
She went on to note: “You know, I haven’t seen her in about 11 years just because we’ve been busy, just with life and stuff. So I don’t know what rift she’s talking about, but you’d have to ask her.”
