The article discusses the recent controversy surrounding Broadway star Patti LuPone after she made derogatory comments about fellow actresses Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald in a New Yorker profile. Following public outcry and a petition from around 700 Broadway performers, LuPone issued an apology. The article reflects on LuPone's candid and often abrasive public persona, drawing parallels between her unfiltered comments and her admiration for Donald Trump. Debates ensue on the implications of her remarks and whether she deserves forgiveness in the theater community.
"A recent New Yorker profile of LuPone made news, none of it good for her. In the piece, she's quoted saying disparaging things about two Black actresses..."
"Patti LuPone has always been unfiltered, in that one way like the Donald Trump she's said she hates; you do not want to be caught with your cell phone ringing when she's on stage."
