I would have bought a front-row ticket to see this:
Patti Labelle Arrested for Assaulting Aretha Franklin
I know Aretha could have gotten hurt. But the image of Patti taking off her wig and earrings before knocking her out is making me LOL.
I wonder what they are beefing about?
I hope Patti is able to calm down and get a new attitude. I’m a huge fan of hers. I don’t want her to head towards a life of crime.
Once again our entertainers provide solid examples of behavior for younger folks to emulate. Last week it was the NYC cops and firefighters brawling in their annual hockey game. Nice. She’s 70 years old, for fuck’s sake.
They’re both about the same age. That doesn’t make it right but at least it’s not a young person beating up a senior citizen.
And at least no guns were involved.
That is quite the picture - two 70 year old grandmas throwing down.
From the link:

What does “threw epic shade” mean?
It means Labelle was really (epically) disrespectful of (throwing shade at) Franklin.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
This is the second time this has happened to me this weekend! What can I say? I’m really gullible! Sorry, Straight Dope!!!
But apparently the two really have been beefing with each other:Patti LaBelle Shaded To Hell By Aretha Franklin
And that link has (hilarious) video evidence of the shade-throwing!
