Laura Benanti Criticizes Zachary Levi's Remarks

Laura Benanti has openly criticized her former co-star Zachary Levi during a podcast interview, revealing that she has never liked him and disapproving of his behavior during their time together in 'She Loves Me'. She expressed disdain for Levi's attempts to create a dance party atmosphere backstage and described him as someone who 'sucks up all the energy in the room'. Her strongest condemnation came in response to Levi's comments regarding the death of their co-star Gavin Creel, who died from cancer, where Levi suggested that the COVID-19 vaccine played a role in Creel's passing. Benanti remarked that it was inappropriate for Levi to use Creel's memory for his political agenda, stating, 'For him to use Gavin’s memory... I was like, 'F—k you forever.' She also noted that despite the backlash against Levi's comments, they might not harm his career due to the popularity of faith-based entertainment.
