Patti LuPone accused of 'bullying' and 'racially microaggressive' comments by Broadway star


Lewis, 59, aired her grievances with the 75-year-old actress and singer in an open letter in extended clip she posted to Instagram Saturday.

Lewis said that while microaggressions 'can seem harmless or minor,' they 'can accumulate and cause significant stress or discomfort for the recipient - examples include calling a Black show loud in a way that dismisses it.' Lewis said that the specific words LuPone used in her summation of the musical spoke volumes: 'In our industry, language holds power and shapes perception, often in ways that we may not immediately realize. 'While gestures like sending thank you flowers may appear courteous, it was dismissive and out of touch, especially following a formal complaint that you made that resulted in the changes that impacted our entire production, primarily the people who have to go out on stage and perform.'
