Reba McEntire recently discovered Kelly Clarkson's headline-making public feud through a surprising source: her *Happy's Place* costar Melissa Peterman.
While filming the third season of their NBC sitcom, McEntire learned about the dispute—which centers on Clarkson's disagreement with the Brooklyn-based novelty toy store Art of Play over a mechanical bird named Molly—directly inside the show's makeup trailer. Peterman confirmed during an exclusive interview with E! News that she was the one who broke the news to the country music legend.
According to the cast, the intense production schedule for *Happy's Place* has kept them largely isolated in a bubble. Peterman noted that the news must be widespread if it managed to reach her inside the demanding work environment, given her limited time to monitor outside headlines.
*Happy's Place* season three is scheduled to premiere on NBC on October 23, with episodes becoming available to stream the following day on Peacock.
