I have gotten to interview Billy and got to meet him after his BLACK MONA LISA show @ The Beacon in NYC and he has been such a delight! I AM EXCITED FOR THIS NEW MOVIE! Looks soooooo good.

Thank you for standing up to these people. I met him too and I loved him, he was terrific.

I used to be a fan of Billy. Especially his work in theatre until I met him at an event my work was hosting during pride. The evening was miserable because he was the MEANEST and most condescending person I’ve ever come across. Literally the type to snap his finger at you to get your attention and not look up at you when asking a question. And that’s just the beginning. Sadly I’ve heard since then that it’s very normal behavior from him.

Same deal with Dolly Parton. She is another “nice” person in public.Had the misfortune of seeing her at Disney World.My family and I walked by a recording studio she was in. We had special access to areas not accessible to the public. I understand she was working. However,instead of smiling & waving, she looked at us with disgust & abruptly yanked the blinds closed. She’s a phony.
