In Defense of the (Living) Golden Girls

Betty “Rose” White is setting the record straight!
As y’all know, the living Golden Girls got a bit of flack for not attending the funeral of their recently deceased co-star Estelle Getty.
Betty spoke with Entertainment Tonight to explain her absence.
“We were with Estelle when it mattered,” she says. “I didn’t go to her funeral and Paul, her wonderful caretaker, knew I wasn’t going to her funeral…Funerals are about [journalism] ├óΓé¼┬ª who was there and who wasn’t? That’s not about Estelle. We adored her. To tell you the truth, her passing is tough on us, but it’s a blessing for her. She’s been so ill for so long, she’s in a better place now, wherever she is.”
And there you have it.
Is that a good enough excuse????
