Jackée Harry spilled the deets about a time Eartha Kitt slapped her like she stole something (which she did), and social media is begging for all the juice.
On Wednesday, the famed Sister, Sister actress and comedian answered a question on social media and gave a response no one could have anticipated.
Journalist and filmmaker Michael Segalov prompted the delicious bit of decades-old gossip.
"[W]hat’s the most surreal encounter you’ve had with someone famous?" he tweeted.
He started by sharing his own, adding, "mine was looking up while riding a bucking bronco in Liverpool last year and seeing Hugh Grant looking at me, who then stuck his tongue out and then just shrugged."
what’s the most surreal encounter you’ve had with someone famous? been thinking about this all day… mine was looking up while riding a bucking bronco in Liverpool last year and seeing Hugh Grant looking at me, who then stuck his tongue out and then just shrugged.

The question made its way to the Sister, Sister actress, who replied that her most unbelievable encounter was with the one and only Eartha Kitt.
"Eartha Kitt slapped the f%#! outta me!" Harry revealed. "She thought I was sleeping with her boyfriend.. which I was, but I didn’t know he was taken."

Sleeping with another woman's man is one thing — sleeping with Eartha Kitt's man is a whole other ballgame.
The songstress, who passed away in 2008, was nobody's fool, so we can only imagine the exchange. Naturally, Twitter couldn't handle itself.
The “which I was” took me clean out! ????????☠️
