NEW: RI's Debra Messing "Regrets" Going on Megyn Kelly's New Show

Will and Grace's Debra Messing, who graduated from East Greenwich High School, said she "regrets" having gone on Megyn Kelly Today, in light of comments Kelly made about the gay community. 

Messing's comments came on Instagram, and were picked up by the Daily Mail, People, and more. 

“Why did you guys do the Megyn Kelly show? That’s a fail!” [one] commenter wrote on an unrelated Instagram post by Messing.

“Honestly I didn’t know it was MK until that morning,” Messing was shown to have responded. “The itinerary just said Today Show appearance. Regret going on. Dismayed by her comments.”

Reports Show Messing "Dismayed"

As the Daily Mail reported of the Will and Grace cast appearance on Megyn Kelly Today:

That segment then ended on an incredibly awkward note after a gay superfan, Russell Turner, briefly joined the group on stage for some hugs with the cast and a minute-log interview with Megyn. 

The brief interview with Russell began with Megyn asking if it was true that he became both a lawyer and gay because of the show and its leading man, played by actor Eric McCormack.

Turner jokingly affirmed that was in fact the case, while also kindly providing a bit of color and humor to the polar question by adding that Will had the perfect 'trifecta' in that he was gay, a lawyer and had the 'best apartment in New York City.'

He was then tossed back into the audience after his one question, with Megyn sending him off by stating: 'I don't know about the lawyer thing. But I think the "Will & Grace" thing and the gay thing will work out great.' 

That comment appears to be the one that upset Messing.
