Sally Struthers Says “Passive Aggressive” Betty White Fat Shamed Her

Sally Struthers is not keeping it all in the family when it comes to Betty White. 

The Gilmore Girls alum revealed her true feelings about the Golden Girls actress, who died in 2021 at the age of 99. Noting that she lived only a few doors down from the exterior of the famed Golden Girls house in Brentwood, Calif., Sally got candid about her less than stellar interactions with Betty.

“I have to say, now that she’s gone, I wanna talk about Betty White for just a moment,” Sally began on the Let’s Talk About That! With Larry Saperstein and Jacob Bellotti podcast Jan. 13. “And I know everybody loves her. They loved her so much. They signed petitions to get her to guest host Saturday Night Live.”

She added, “I know all that. I didn’t have such a great experience with her—very passive-aggressive woman.”

According to the 77-year-old, she had a particularly bad encounter with Betty when she went over to her to work on the pilot for a new game show.
