Kim Kardashian Hits Back at Debra Messing Over Coming for Her on Twitter
Remember when Kim Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live? Of course you do. Kim honestly did a solid job, but not everyone was here for SNL's choice to have her host— including Will & Grace star Debra Messing. Shortly after Kim's name was announced, Debra hopped on Twitter to muse "Why Kim Kardashian? 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?"
Apparently this didn't go unnoticed by Kim, who spoke about Debra's tweet during the premiere of The Kardashians on Hulu. “Listen, I’m the underdog,” she said. “Everyone just thinks I’m a ditz. The girl from Will & Grace came out and said she has no idea why I would be chosen as a host. But it’s like, why do you care? I don’t comment to tear people down, especially another female. If that’s what you think, dude, then cool, tune in…”
Debra ended up addressing her tweet post-SNL on The Tamron Hall Show, saying she didn't intend to troll Kim. “Well, I was not intending to troll her and if anybody took it that way, I apologize,” she said. “That was never my intention. She is this phenomenon. I mean, she is a cultural icon.”
She went on to say 'You know I have been living under a rock. I don’t have my finger on the pulse of pop culture. So I was like, ‘Okay. Has she been doing something on the side that I’m not aware of because I’ve been so focused on activism?’ And clearly, it was interpreted differently.”
And FYI, Debra did watch Kim and was impressed. “I thought she was amazing and I was rooting her,” she said. “If you know me and you follow me, then you know that I consistently lift up women. I support women. So you know, I hope people understand that was never my intention.”
