Sally Struthers had a bad experience with Betty White.
The “All in the Family” actress, 77, said the late actress — who died in December 2021 at age 99 — already “shamed” her during her appearance on Monday’s episode of “Let’s Talk About That ! With Larry Saperstein and Jacob Bellotti.
Struthers brought up White after telling the hosts how she lived four houses away from the “Golden Girls” home in Los Angeles.
“I have to say, now that she’s gone, I want to talk about Betty White for just a moment,” she said.
“I know everyone loves him. They loved him so much. They signed petitions for her to be a guest host on “Saturday Night Live.” I know all that,” Struthers continued. “I didn’t have such a great experience with her.”
The “Gilmore Girls” star called White “a very passive-aggressive woman.”
She recalled the alleged shame that happened at White’s “beautiful” Los Angeles home when the two met to work on a pilot for a new game show.
Struthers said White told his housekeeper to bring the group something to eat.
“The plate was sitting in the middle and it was biscuits, I think,” she remembers. “So I grabbed a cookie and she said in front of everyone, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you, honey, you don’t need a cookie.'”
Saperstein and Bellotti gasped in response to Struthers’ story.
“Completely shamed me in front of the rest of the people in the room,” she said. “And I thought, ‘My God, that’s not nice.'”
“Well, I’m sorry you had that experience with her,” Bellotti told Struthers.
Despite the incident with White, Struthers noted that she had fond memories of another “Golden Girls” star, Bea Arthur, who starred in “All in the Family.”
“I would pass her in the supermarket and she would trash everyone we knew,” she said of the star, who died in 2009 at age 86.
“We stood in the aisle and said, ‘What do you think of so-and-so?’ (And she was like,) ‘She’s such a fucking a**hole.’ People in the store were like, “What’s going on in aisle five?” I loved how dirty she was.
“She was a big deal,” Struthers added of Arthur. “I loved him.”
When asked about some of her favorite Hollywood memories on the podcast, Struthers recalled how she dated Elvis Presley “for a while.”
“It was fun,” she said. “He was probably the nicest man I ever met. He was so polite, so kind and so gentle.
