Audra McDonald recounted a distressing incident where a fan followed her home after a performance without stopping at the stage door. She expressed that this behavior infringed upon her personal safety and comfort. McDonald emphasized that actors, despite their desire to connect with fans, sometimes need space due to exhaustion. She advised fans to respect actors' boundaries, noting that if performers do not engage at the stage door, it is important to understand their need for privacy and to refrain from pursuing them further.
McDonald described the incident as "crossing a big ol' boundary" and labeled the behavior as "messing with my safety." She emphasized it's not right.
She ended the video with a caution: "When you see an actor leave the stage door, if they don't stop, leave them alone. There's a reason that they're not stopping."
