Hopefully she lives and learns. I can see her fruatration with Lewis, but her response was extreme. Sometimes a humble apology to someone who feels hurt, even if it is not warranted, helps heal. You don't have to be wrong to apologize or to respond with kindness.
I think Patti is becoming a caricature of herself. She earned applause for yelling at people with cell phones and refusimg to wear masks, and now she feels happy to do it as a lifestyle choice. She gets streaming money, so she doesn't need Broadway. But it's one thing to attack Madonna or. ALW; that is like throwing a pebble at a whale. It is another to attack Kecia Lewis or Audra MacDonald, who are respected peers.
