Patti LuPone - Hypocrisy with profanity


 Patti LuPone is an actress with a distinguished career. he

 

Her career spans over 50 years.

She has won multiple awards including Tonys, Olivers and Grammys.

The first image is from an article noted below. The second is from 2014 and on her wikipedia page.


She recently was appearing with other members of a cast in front of the audience for a post performance Q&A.  LuPone noticed an audience member whose face mask was not on properly. LuPone criticized this person using profanity.


Here is the hypocrisy. LuPone wasn't wearing a mask. Neither were any of the cast and they were not social distanced, although probably further apart than people in the middle of the audience. 

 

Apparently, there was a sign somewhere saying the audience was to be masked.  I'm pretty sure there was no sign saying the cast would also be masked.  So LuPone was, if I am correct, not breaking any rule. 


Still just because you are not breaking a rule doesn't give you the right to rant about people who are almost in mask compliance when you are not at all in compliance.

I call that hypocrisy. I wished the audience member who was being criticized would have said something about that at the time.
