Patti Lupone apologized for her feedback on Audra McDonald and Hell Kitchen star Kecia Lewis in the latest New Yorker interview.
“As far as I was working in the theater, I said my thoughts and was by no means apologized,” Lupone wrote in an Instagram filed on Saturday. “This happened immediately. I am very sorry for the phrases used in the New Yorker interview, especially about the meanness and disrespect of Kecia Lewis. Throughout the interview, I felt regretful, my behavior was not appropriate, my behavior was not appropriate, my attitude towards this group was not appropriate, I was trying to compete. Apologize.”
She continued: “I wholeheartedly agree to everything written in the open letter shared yesterday. From the Central University drama equipment to the proficiency level, theatres have been lifting each other and welcoming those who really feel that they don’t belong elsewhere. I made a mistake and I paid full responsibility for it, and I made a full responsibility for it.
Theatre idol’s harsh remarks, during which she called Lewis a “bit” and admitted that there was a dispute between her and McDonald’s, shocking the Broadway Group, with more than 500 performers and artists calling for Tony’s awards ceremony to give Divinevite Lupone a public titration.
In the New Yorker’s work, in 26 years of the New Yorker’s work, Lupone tells the point of the final fall when she appeared in “roommates” on Broadway. Sales Space Theatre, which sells Restry, shares a wall with Shubert Theatre, and Alicia Keys musical “Hell's Kitchen” is also being staged. Lupone complained to the top of Shubert Group that she might hear loud noises from the subsequent doors and sent the flowers to the solid and crew of the Hell Kitchen when the number was reduced. However, she was later criticized by Lewis on social media, who said Lubon’s behavior was “bullying” and “racially microaggressive.” McDonald's agrees with Lewis' message.
When the New Yorker asked Lupone for Lewis, she questioned whether Lewis won Tony for Hell's Kitchen, often on stage, was a Broadway veteran. In the same interview, she covered up McDonald's work in “The Gypsy” and took over a mission, Lupone won second in three Tony Awards. McDonald's won a record six-piece Tony.
In this letter, there are 500 performers along with Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart, J. Harrison Ghee and Maleah Joi Moon together criticized Lupone's feedback.
The letter reads: “No matter what the legacy or the movie star, its platform should be allowed to devalue, threaten or devalue others, without any artist, producer, director or chief.
The open letter also brought Lupone a “bullying” feedback about Lewis, calling it “degenerate and misogynistic” in addition to “blatant acts of racial disrespect.”
In an interview with CBS on Sunday morning, McDonald's addressed Lupone, telling the New Yorker writer that the pair were not good friends.
“If there is a crack between us, I don't know what that is,” McDonald's said. “It's one thing you have to ask Patty. I haven't seen her for about 11 years, just because we're just busy with life. So I don't know what crack she's talking about, but you have to ask her.”
Lupone has appeared on Broadway with “Evita”, “Fight Paint”, “Sweeney Todd” and “COILD”. Over time, she also made headlines in headlines, arguing with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Glenn with Glenn Shut as she was handed over to the manufacturing industry that made “Sundown Boulevard” on Broadway and starred in the Madonna brand of “Evita” as a “movie killer” in the movie model.
