Edie Falco, widely recognized for her role as Carmela Soprano, the wife of Tony Soprano, on the critically acclaimed HBO series The Sopranos, shared a candid moment during an interview with New York Knicks players Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.

In the discussion, Falco admitted to feeling deeply frustrated with Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid during the NBA playoffs. She recounted how incensed she was when Embiid, known for his physical style of play, delivered a sharp elbow to Brunson during the first-round matchup last season.

Falco humorously confessed that her emotions ran so high, that she was ready to confront the towering All-Star center herself, driven by her protective instincts as a devoted Knicks fan.

“Joel Embiid, he’s mean,” Falco said in the latest episode of  the “Roommates Show.” “He like elbowed you in a game last year and I was going to go after him. I mean that’s how bad it was. And then I think I’ve seen you guys play since then and you guys are all like cool with each other. I’m like, ‘You don’t hold a grudge?’”
