Reba McEntire Learned of Clarkson's Feud in Makeup Trailer

Reba McEntire has been updated on Kelly Clarkson's disagreement with Brooklyn-based toy store Art of Play. McEntire discovered the details of the dispute, which centers on a mechanical bird called Molly, from her "Happy's Place" co-star Melissa Peterman.

The conversation occurred in the makeup trailer during filming for their NBC sitcom. Peterman mentioned she was the one to inform McEntire, highlighting how unusual the news must be if she, being busy with work, had heard about it. McEntire, who was previously married to Narvel Blackstock, the father of Clarkson's late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, confirmed the news.

The cast of "Happy's Place" has been immersed in filming season three, which is scheduled to debut on October 23rd. McEntire commented on the positive atmosphere, noting "a lot of love in this building." She and Peterman, who previously worked together on the sitcom "Reba," expressed their enjoyment and comfort in their continued collaboration.

Adding to the familial atmosphere, co-star Belissa Escobedo shared how welcomed she felt by the cast and crew upon joining in 2024, despite initially feeling like an outsider. Season three of "Happy's Place" will stream on Peacock the day after its NBC premiere.
