Patti LuPone may have apologized for some recent controversial remarks, but that doesn’t mean the curtain has dropped on the drama.
The actress sparked a major backlash after disparaging comments she made about fellow Broadway stars Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald in a recent interview with the New Yorker.
LuPone referred to Lewis as a “b**ch” and said McDonald was “not a friend.”
Hundreds of performers from Broadway and other theater communities then wrote a letter in which they characterized LuPone’s comments as “degrading and misogynistic—it is a blatant act of racialized disrespect.”
