Oprah Winfrey Appears To Diss Absent Broadway Legend At The Tony Awards
HuffPost
A controversy that ignited recently was mostly ignored at the Tonys until Oprah chimed in.
Oprah Winfrey seemed to snipe at actor Patti LuPone during the Tony Awards on Sunday.
LuPone had recently criticized two fellow stage actors who are Black, lighting up Broadway with controversy.
Winfrey appeared to address the simmering beef as she presented the Best Actress in a Musical award. LuPone wasn’t there (it’s unclear whether she ever intended to go, People reported) but she probably got the message.
“This astounding year in live theater turns to the women whose work sparked lively conversations among theater fans,” Winfrey said while giving a few knowing glances.
When the laughter and applause subsided, she declared, “A lot o’ talkin’ goin’ on.”
