Audra McDonald responded gracefully to Patti LuPone's comments in a New Yorker article where LuPone referred to her as 'not a friend.' In a CBS Sunday Morning interview, McDonald expressed confusion over any perceived rift, noting she hasn't seen LuPone in 11 years. The underlying tension may stem from McDonald’s supportive comments on a social media post involving accusations of racist microaggressions against LuPone. Their public interactions have been minimal, with a notable instance being the ALS ice-bucket challenge in 2014.
I mean, I don't - if there's a rift between us, I don't know what it is. That's something you'll have to ask Patti about.
One thing they both were doing, however, was the ice-bucket challenge.
After Patti LuPone told The New Yorker McDonald is 'not a friend,' McDonald kept it classy in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning.
The animosity initially appeared to center around McDonald leaving a supportive Instagram comment on a post by Hell's Kitchen actress Kecia Lewis.
