The King of Comedy actress, Sandra Bernhard, opened up about her now non-existent relationship with Madonna in a recent interview with Hot Takes & Deep Dives with Jess Rothschild. Bernhard claims the two were BFFs, but their affectionate bond was mistaken and blown out of proportion.  

Bernhard restrained herself from spilling all the tea, but the actress did unveil the truth behind their failed "friendship." 

"For a while, we had a real friendship, but it's hard for somebody like her," Bernhard said. Sandra further added, "she doesn't really want somebody around who reflects too much of who she is."

Though the two have remained conscious about giving away details of their relationship, in 2019, Sandra alleged they have both moved past it.
