Sandra Bernhard and Morgan Fairchild played lovers on Roseanne for three episodes in 1992, but things were not the same between them when the cameras were not rolling.
Yesterday, when the comedian was on Watch What Happens Live, a viewer wanted to know what it was like for the comedian to work with the legend.
Bernard responded with, “It’s one of my biggest regrets that I wasn’t nicer to her. I wasn’t. I was a little dismissive of Morgan.
“I would like to say to Morgan, ‘You were incredible to work with. You went there. We were the first gay couple [They were not.] on TV…You were fabulous. And you were on the right side politically. I owe you an apology. I adore you. And thank you for putting up with my snotty little attitude.”
Bernard also admitted she was not the only one who was rude to her.
In their defense, not the one that should have one, Roseanne is rumored to have been an awful set to work on. So that could have played a part in their attitude toward her. The Roseanne people were not used to working with someone that is nice.
UPDATE: Morgan Fairchild responded to Sandra Bernhard with class. “I’m very touched by @SandraBernhard’s words. Very nice of her,” she wrote. “Yes, it was a difficult set for me, but that’s show biz. I already follow her on X, but she doesn’t follow me. She can DM me any time & I’d say ‘Let’s grab coffee’. Love to you all.”
Bearnard responded with. “Thank you Morgan for you kind response to my apology you have always been a groovy open talented person & you deserve all the celebration & love people shower you with you champion those who need it the most hats off lady we will break it all down over a cup of Joe asap! X”
