AceShowbiz - Debra Messing has regretted calling out Blake Shelton for his comments on Donald Trump. The 47-year-old actress, who has been vocal about her support for the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, was involved in a Twitter spat with the country music singer after he appeared to defend Republican nominee Trump.
It started when Messing learned of Shelton's recent interview with Billboard in which he said, "I'm not going to have the political conversation with you about Trump, or about Hillary Clinton, but I will tell you this: Whether you love him or hate him, he says what he thinks, and he has proven that you don't always to be so afraid."
"A lot of people are pulling for him, no matter how much Hollywood fights it. I see people who don't like him go and beat up people that do like him. You tell me, who's crazy here?" he added. "I probably wish there was another option, but there's not."
Messing then responded via Twitter, "Omg. How? @gwenstefani please talk to your man to not vote for the person who will STRIP you of your rights," referring to Shelton's girlfriend Gwen Stefani. The No Doubt frontwoman didn't respond to Messing's tweet, but Shelton quickly set things straight.
He tweeted back, "Hey before this gets going like it always does... I haven't enforced ANYBODY for president. And I not going to. I don't do that s**t." He added, "My comment about 'wish there was another option but there's not' is across the board...period. Now go dig up another story."

The Broadway star later admitted that her "passions got the better of" her. She regretted calling out the "Came Here to Forget" hitmaker and apologized to him. The 40-year-old singer accepted the apology, tweeting, "Thank you sis.. I don't endorse anybody. For this very reason!!"
Ok- I regret commenting. My passions got the better of me. Sorry. @gwenstefani @blakeshelton
