Rosie O'Donnell Apologizes For Weird Malibu Encounter

MALIBU, CA — Rosie O'Donnell on Monday posted a TikTok video to apologize for misidentifying Priyanka Chopra as Deepak Chopra's daughter.

O'Donnell posted a recap of the encounter, which happened Sunday at Nobu in Malibu, saying she had embarrassed her son and his girlfriend and Fran Drescher, who she was dining with. She later posted an apology video addressing the thousands of comments on her initial video.

Both videos have tens of thousand of likes and comments, many frustrated with how O'Donnell handled the situation at Nobu. Many were also frustrated O'Donnell had referred to Priyanka Chopra as "someone Chopra" and "the Jo Bro wife" in her TikTok videos.

Priyanka Chopra responded to the incident on Instagram Wednesday afternoon, saying she does not expect everyone to know who she is but would have appreciated a private and more sincere apology.

"We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not be referred to as 'someone' or 'wife' especially in a sincere apology. If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic way, the world we raise our children in, will be amazing," Priyanka Chopra said in an Instagram story.

The controversial star approached Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas at Nobu on Sunday and told Priyanka Chopra she knows her dad, mistaking her for Deepak Chopra's daughter, she said. Priyanka Chopra corrected her saying Chopra is a common name, O'Donnell said.

"I felt so embarrassed. Didn't you think that Nick Jonas was married to Deepak Chopra's daughter? Am I the only one who thought that?" O'Donnell asks in the video.

O'Donnell later posted another video responding to people's comments on TikTok.

"I just want to apologize to her and to everyone who thought that it was really inappropriate of me. Sorry, sometimes I f--- up. I did at Nobu," O'Donnell said.
