Dionne Warwick calls Gladys Knight mix-up an ‘honest mistake’
Dionne Warwick has spoken out after she was mistaken for Gladys Knight by commentators at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York City.
The music legend was among the famous faces watching Serena Williams take on Anett Kontaveit on Thursday (09.01.22) and was thrust into the spotlight when ESPN commentators Mary Carillo and Chanda Rubin seemingly confused her with another singing sensation – Gladys Knight – who was also watching the match.
Now Dionne has insisted she believes Chanda’s explanation when she claimed she was looking at Gladys on her screen while the other singer was on the other monitor, telling TMZ.com: “I don’t think Chanda would ever mistake me for Gladys Knight. I know her. So I do honestly believe that she said what she meant that she was watching Serena and Gladys’ picture came up and … then said Gladys Knight but had me on camera. So it was an honest mistake. I didn’t even know it had happened … I said it’s alright she’s a friend.”
