More than 600 members of the Broadway community slammed the Tony winner after she gave an interview perceived as "misogynistic" and "bullying" toward her fellow performers.

Patti LuPone has apologized for her incendiary remarks about fellow Broadway stars Audra McDonald and Kecia Lewis. LuPone issued a lengthy apology on May 31, one day after more than 500 members of the Broadway community signed an open letter reprimanding her.

Patti LuPone and Kecia Lewis have been going back and forth for months and are now being pulled back into the spotlight because of a recent interview. "Power and Privilege on Broadway" is the name of the article penned by Drew Shade, the founder of Broadway Black.

Yet in the profile, LuPone levels her gaze on a new subject: former friend (and six-time Tony Award winner) Audra McDonald. The pair apparently fell out years ago, and when asked for her opinion on McDonald’s Gypsy revival, LuPone stared “in silence for 15 seconds,” looked out the window, and said: “What a beautiful day.”
