Patti LuPone ignited controversy in the Broadway community following a New Yorker profile where she made disparaging remarks about fellow actors Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald. LuPone's criticism of Lewis stems from a noise complaint due to shows sharing walls, which Lewis deemed a microaggression. LuPone's harsh language, including calling Lewis a "bitch," and her dismissal of McDonald as "not a friend" prompted backlash from the theater community, highlighting ongoing tensions on Broadway and raising concerns about respect and camaraderie among actors.
"It’s not unusual on Broadway. This happens all the time when walls are shared."
"You should know better. That’s typical of Audra. She’s not a friend."
