Dionne Warwick Has No Hard Feelings About Gladys Knight Mix-up

TMZ.com

Dionne Warwick‘s got no hard feelings towards the broadcaster that was accused of mistaking her for Gladys Knight on live TV … callin’ it an honest mistake!!!

Dionne tells TMZ … she doesn’t think Chanda Rubin, who caught some serious flack for the flub, would’ve intentionally mixed the two up.

The singer’s buying the broadcaster’s explanation for what went down, too.

U.S. Open

In case you missed it, Dionne was front and center on TV during the U.S. Open, but was instead referred to by Chanda and Mary Carillo as Gladys — obviously, the Internet had a field day.

Too bad I was initially looking at the court (where Auntie Gladys was in the stands) and not our program monitor that showed Ms. Dionne… mistake was immediately corrected.🤦🏽‍♀️

Chanda took to Twitter to put out the flames — saying she saw Gladys while looking at the court and announced the celeb, instead of looking at her monitor that showed Dionne … and the singer finds that to be a reasonable excuse for the mix-up.

Of course, not everyone’s sticking to Chanda’s story … with many thinking the time between Dionne popping up on screen and Gladys getting name-dropped is telling.
