Rhea Perlmanhas revealed a talk show appearance alongsideAnjelica Hustonwas nixed after the actress slammed her new filmPoms.
Perlman, 71, said she was slated to film an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen with Huston, but that the sit-down got the kibosh from her studio after theJohn Wick 3actress ripped intoPoms, calling it a “humiliating…old-lady cheerleader movie.”
“I was supposed to do…Andy Cohen’s show with Anjelica, just randomly,” Perlman told SiriusXM’sEntertainment Weekly Radio. “Of course [the film’s distributor] said, ‘No, no, you’re not gonna do that.’ So I said, ‘Great, I wouldn’t really want to do that.’ And so I did it yesterday, I did it with Whoopi [Goldberg].”

Huston, 67, drew the ire of thePomscast earlier this month after she criticized the premise of the film, which follows a group of women (Perlman,Diane Keaton, Jacki Weaver andPam Grier) living in a retirement home who form a cheerleading squad.

Perlman said that while the response didn’t “bum” her out, she did find it surprising, as she’s met Huston many times over the years and always found her to be “such a nice person.”
“What I don’t understand is, no one asked her that question… Like, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all, you know?” she said. “Like why would you do that, why would you bring that up? It was very odd. It’s like she had some vendetta or I don’t know. It felt cruel and mean.”

“I just laughed. And then I said, ‘Well, she can go f- herself,’” Weaver said. “I was kind of disappointed. I had always been an admirer of Anjelica… I would say she must be going through menopause, but she must have had that ages ago.”
“I hope I didn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. I mean, you know, if I did, I hope they come back at me,” she said. “I can’t say that I felt that I was saying anything that was wildly out of place because most of the things are in my book anyway… I hope I didn’t hurt anyone’s feelings, I didn’t mean to.”
Pomsis in theaters Friday.
