Denzel Washington's Broadway revival of Othello has been a huge success. The critically acclaimed play broke box office records, raking in a staggering $2.8 million in just one week. Fans on social media have also raved about the stellar performances, including Washington's unforgettable portrayal of the titular character. So, naturally, everyone predicted the seasoned actor could score his second Tony Award this year. But in a shocking twist, Washington's name was left off the list when the Tony Award nominations rolled out on May 1.
Since then, fans have taken to social media to voice their frustrations over the major snub. Now, Denzel's wife, Pauletta, is speaking out about the Tonys snubbing her husband and, worse yet, completely shutting out the revival play. Per People, the 74-year-old spoke with a group of reporters last week, and when asked to address the controversial snub, she said, “Now see, that's not something you want to ask me. I can't say that I was surprised that they didn't.”
