Actress Ashley Fink, who plays Lauren
on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, and comedienne-talk show host
Rosie O'Donnell have patched things up.
Fink told gay glossy The Advocate
that she was “surprised” by O'Donnell saying that her role is not
believable.
McKinley High wrestler Lauren joined
the school's glee club at the prompting of studly Puck (played by
Mark Salling), and now Puck is heavily courting her.
In an Access Hollywood segment,
the recently
single O'Donnell called their romance unbelievable.
“Every woman I know who's heavy has
very strong feelings about that storyline,” O'Donnell said.
“They're like, 'Can you believe that? I think it's horrible. That
never happens in school. That character is so unlikable. Why didn't
they get a pretty heavy girl?'”
Fink responded by saying: “I've got
swagger too, so I don't find my storyline unrealistic.”
O'Donnell on Thursday took to Twitter
to apologize.
“oh ashley – i love ur swagger –
ur acting – ur face – ur heart – as a famous fat person – i
am often asked about the issue … i love the story line – i love
the show – and if in any way something i said hurt u – i
apologize … u r so talented and i cant wait to hear u belt it …as
i know u can- the often misquoted rosie,” she messaged.
Fink replied, “Awh thanks Rosie O! I
adore you. Seriously heart you hard.”
The women agreed to a karaoke date.
