Debra Messing has apologized, the actress made headlines in September when she questioned the decision “Saturday Night Live” made in booking Kim Kardashian to host the show despite the fact that she has nothing to promote as the show’s special celebrity hosts generally do.
Nearly two weeks after Kardashian’s appearance on the popular sketch comedy show – which earned generally positive reviews from critics and fans – the “Will & Grace” alum is saying sorry.
Debra Messing is clarifying her previous comments about Kim Kardashian West hosting Saturday Night Live.
Kim Kardashian : Debra Messing Clarifies her troll on SNS
Kardashian West, 40, hosted the Oct. 9 episode, with Halsey joining her as the musical guest. When her casting was first announced last month, though, Messing shared her confusion regarding the choice to cast the SKIMS mogul.
“Why Kim Kardashian?” the Will & Grace star, 53, wrote on Twitter at the time. “I mean, I know she is a cultural icon, but SNL has hosts, generally, who are performers who are there to promote a film, TV show, or album launch. Am I missing something?”
Debra Messing did not mean to troll Kim Kardashian
During a Wednesday appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, Messing explained that she did not mean to “troll” the reality star with her tweet.
“I was not intending to troll her, and you know if anybody took it that way, I apologize,” she told host Tamron Hall. “That was never my intention. She is this phenomenon. I mean, you know, she is a cultural icon.”
During a remote appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show,” Messing said that when she posed her question via Twitter, it wasn’t meant to be negative.
