Christian actress and first-time director Angela Bassett, 56, is uber talented, classy and graceful.

During press rounds for the Lifetime premiere of her Whitney Houston biopic, she stopped by Wendy Williams’

show and breezed through tough questions.

“She got on Twitter and called you all the way out of your name,” Williams instigated.

Bassett chuckled, admitting she had not read the inflammatory commentary personally. “People told me a little

feelings and they don’t really mean it before they say send,” she said, highlighting how impulsive emotional

social media users sometimes are.

Basset also told Williams she did not know of Bobbi’s desire to be in the movie, noting that casting was open to

everyone.

During an Entertainment Weekly interview last year, when the Golden Globe winning actress was asked

whether she considered utilizing Bobbi, she said no.
