When the National Enquirer went looking for gossip, “Law & Order” franchise leads Ice-T and Chris Meloni got busy on Monday.
The actors preemptively denied the tabloid’s claim that they have been fighting since Meloni returned to the franchise in “Law & Order: Organized Crime.”
The men took to Twitter to refute the claim, which the Enquirer said it was preparing to publish. Responding to a request for comment from the Enquirer regarding allegations that Ice-T was jealous of the attention Meloni was receiving, the actor-rapper applauded in a tweet accompanying the email.
“Clownass MFs trying to come up with Drama out of thin air… WOW… MFs are really on that BS,” wrote Ice-T, who sent the pitch to Meloni.
Meloni joked that Ice-T “was nice enough to let me know that we had a fight.”
The Enquirer did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler and Ice-T as Sgt. Since Tutuola, they’ve been regulars for more than 10 years, along with “Law & Order: SVU,” TheWrap reported. Meloni left over a contract dispute in 2011, before returning to the organized crime franchise in 2021.
Their two characters “entered each other’s orbit” during the SVU/Organized Crime crossover events, TVLine wrote.
