Someone in the camp of a former talk show Diva forwarded this terse text message exchange between the Diva and an actress that we all know and love. The insider felt that the talk show Diva blew off the actress who was only extending an olive branch in hopes of mending their broken relationship.

Basically, the actress reached out to the Diva to wish her a speedy recovering, having just heard that she was recently released from a hospital after undergoing heart surgery.

But old grievances die hard in this industry. And people (especially women) tend to hold grudges forever.

Here’s the original (unedited) text message sent to the former talk show Diva followed by her terse response:

dear ****,I JUST got off an interview & while they asked me about the ending of r friendship they also told me you’d been n the hospital.I’m sure everything went perfect & u r recovering well for I know yr spirit! I’m sorry 2 hear about yr difficulty.It’s times like this when u are suppose 2 set aside any differences…..I care about u.Remembering r good times, u r n my prayers & still my heart! Get well soon! I am the same ******** u grew 2 know.Take Care U!!!

Here’s the unedited reply:

you have been in my thoughts also… Thank you for the good wishes and the kind words. I appreciate the sincerity of your spirit.
_______…Please don’t concern yourself with any past drama. Life is far too short. I assure you that I hold no animosity toward you and wish you great success in everything you do.

I’m sure you can understand that given all I’ve had to handle…I have chosen a simpler, more streamlined and less drama filled life, so if I can ask one favor: I would appreciate it if in promoting your projects…you would steer the questions away from me. Admittedly, no one has ever asked me anything so I don’t know the position you’re in…but a simple “we’re fine” will go a long way to raise the level of the conversation…and allow you to enjoy the success without making about anyone else.

Again…your note was very much appreciated and extremely thoughtful.

Best,
