Tacky! How you gonna share this after Betty has died and can’t defend herself or tell her side!?
She looks like Trisha Paytas
The tale has no merit b/c it amounts to She said/she said and one of the parties is not here to defend herself. Therefore, Sally should have simply kept it moving. Betty is dead and it's inappropriate to speak ill of the dead for a reason.
So you’re gonna talk about this when she’s no longer here??!! Why not say anything when she was alive….. Classless behavior. R. I. P Betty White 🙏🙏❣️🌹🕊️
People usually don’t forget how someone made them feel. Betty was a comedian and was of a different generation so it seems believable. Out of respect Sally may not have mentioned it while she was alive.
Stop Sally, you didn’t have the balls to come out and say thing when she was alive and to her face on camera, you should be very ashamed of speaking I’ll of the died.
I get the distinct impression Mount Struthers is leaving out something … like snotty behavior that just might have prompted a teensy fat poke. But we’ll never know.
old people get to say what they want!!
Sally Struthers was arrested twice in Ogunquit Maine for drunk driving. Yeah, she's credible.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sally's story is true. Betty White was a lovely woman, but no one is perfect.
That's a shame, and I don't get it, cause even Betty was heavier in her later years, compared to when she was younger, so she shouldn't have been throwing stones, but she often said that she cares more about animals than people, so she obviously didn't care what she said to people 😔
I did see a snippet of golden girls behind scenes once & Betty was being passive aggressive to Bea. So I believe it. It just depends on if she was trying to be fun or was she a lil mean.
Why did she have to wait after she died to drag her??
you have to wonder why sally would bother sharing this at all? at any time. some things are just better left unsaid. especially when someone is not around to defend themselves. inappropriate.
I feel like Betty was being sarcastic, like she didn’t mean it which is why she said it in front of everyone. She probably thought you looked great but if I’m wrong … idk
Few will publicly admit this, but the majority of "Fat Shaming" is done by women to other women. Of course that narrative contradicts the "WOKE" folks ..but when will the "woke" folks fully wake up
I absolutely believe Sally! So many of the people that we admire are not the same in private life as they are in public life. Just one man's opinion.
I think she said it and meant it, don't meet your heroes.
I never liked betty white and I'm 76 so I have seen a lot of her on tv… I thought her foul mouth was very unnecessary and it got worse as she got older …
I always think when people wait for someone to pass to start talking bad about them. It's usually lies. Guess Sally Struthers is looking for her for another fifteen minutes of fame to make herself revelent. Sally Struthers must really have issues to pull this stunt.
Betty's nature was comedy found in every moment her wit and quickness was unmatched. She is from a different time, when you could make a joke like that and it wasn't received with offense. She wasn't intending harm, she saw an opportunity for humor and took it. It was in bad taste to us now, but what's also in bad taste is waiting for someone to die to talk about their fails. I'm sure if she was alive she'd have apologized for hurting you.
Very trashy of Sally, when BW is not here to defend herself. VERY unnecessary.
I believe it.
