The Broadway star voiced her disapproval of her former co-star's on-set conduct and his controversial statements about Gavin Creel's death.

  • Laura Benanti revealed her longstanding dislike for Zachary Levi, citing his behavior during their 2016 Broadway run of 'She Loves Me.'
  • She accused Levi of 'mansplaining' cast members' roles and hosting unwanted pre-show dance parties, which she found disruptive.
  • Benanti expressed outrage over Levi's October Instagram Live, where he suggested their late co-star Gavin Creel's death was linked to COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Gavin Creel, who passed away in September from a rare form of cancer, was described by Benanti as someone Levi was not genuinely close to despite his claims.
  • Broadway figures, including Norbert Leo Butz, also criticized Levi for politicizing Creel's death to promote anti-vaccine rhetoric.
