Watch: Donald Trump Probably Shouldn't See Patti LuPone Perform
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Tell us how you really feel, Patti!
Patti LuPone didn't hold back when asked if President Donald Trump should see her show "War Paint" on Broadway.
The question came while she was on the red carpet at the Tonys Sunday night. A reporter for Variety asked the diva, "Why should President Trump come see your show?"
"Well I hope he doesn't because I won't perform if he does," LuPone says.
"Really?" the reporter asks.
"Really," she responds.
"Why's that?" he asks.
"Because I hate the motherfucker, how's that?" LuPone says with a smile.
The clip was posted by Twitter users @NotADayGoesBy_ this week and has since gone viral, earning over 26,000 retweets and more than 60,000 likes.
Last month LuPone made headlines when she dragged Madonna on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live!" A caller asked her performance in "Evita," where she played the original Eva Peron, and if she ever discussed the role with Madonna, who played the Argentina's first lady in a 1996 film adaptation.
Similar to her response to Trump, LuPone didn't mince words and said her music video for "Buenos Aires" "was a piece of shit."
"Madonna is a movie killer -- she's dead behind the eyes," she added. "She cannot act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be in film or onstage. She's a wonderful performer for what she does, but she is not an actress. Bing!"
