Watch: After Awkward Interview, Tituss Burgess Takes Aim at Andy Cohen

READ TIME: 3 MIN.

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" star Tituss Burgess is calling out Bravo producer Andy Cohen after appearing on his "Watch What Happens Live!" show Sunday night and having an awkward moment when asked about working with Eddie Murphy.

During their chat, Cohen read fan questions to Burgess. One person asked what it was like working with Murphy on the upcoming film "Dolemite is My Name." Cohen asked Burgess if he got to "chat" with Murphy on the film, saying he "was just wondering if you got close at all because he was very problematic for the gays at one point." Cohen was likely referencing Murphy's old standup bits where he told homophobic jokes, which he apologized for in the late '90s.

"Oh, I see. He wasn't problematic for Tituss," Burgess said. "We had a wonderful time. We talked about 'Dreamgirls.' He should've won the Oscar, I believe."

He added that "any troubles he had with gay people are gone because he loved me." Burgess then can be seen shooting Cohen a less than friendly glance, sparking the host to ask, "What are you saying, Tituss?"

"Keep going, girl. Do your show," he responded.

After the awkward exchange, Burgess took to Instagram to speak on the incident, calling Cohen "a messy queen," according to People magazine.

"He should remember his talk show isn't an episode of the real housewives of Atlanta!" he wrote. "It's a place where artists come to talk about art and have a little fun. NOT a place to rehash old rumors or bring a star negative press."

Cohen has not responded to Burgess' comments.
