Broadway legend Patti LuPone has apologized for “flippant and emotional” remarks she made about fellow marquee actors in a New Yorker magazine interview.

The mea culpa came via LuPone’s social media accounts Saturday after more than 600 members of the Broadway community signed an open letter condemning the three-time Tony winner’s controversial comments about Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald.

The letter, addressed to the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League, criticized LuPone for calling Lewis a “b----” and saying McDonald is “not a friend” in the New Yorker profile.

“This language is not only degrading and misogynistic — it is a blatant act of racialized disrespect. It constitutes bullying. It constitutes harassment,” the letter says.

Theater publication Playbill reported signatories to the letter include Tony winners James Monroe Iglehart, Maleah Joi Moon and Wendell Pierce.
