@fayedunaway on Instagram — revealed that the Hollywood legend is aware of Yang’s social media presence and might be taking action against him, Entertainment Weekly reported.“There’s a new development in this,” Yang, 31, said during an interview on “Live!

With Kelly and Ryan.”“As of, like, two weeks ago, I’ve gotten word that she knows about me having the handle and she does actually want to come on ‘SNL’ and confront me on live television.”Hosts Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa pressed Yang for more details on what the “confrontation” from Tinseltown’s notorious diva would look like. “She wants it to be, like, maybe on ‘[Weekend] Update,'” said Yang. “She gets brought out to talk about her social media handle being co-opted by this random Asian guy.”Yang said that he did not expect there to be any backlash since he made the account before his rise to stardom. “I did not want this because I was like, truly, just some plebeian in Brooklyn,” stated Yang. “[I thought], best-case scenario, her people reach out to me and give me like $20 and I give it to her.

But, now … there’s a blue check next to my name. People might think that I’m the real Faye Dunaway!”Yang previously joked on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” that he wanted the “Bonnie and Clyde” star to take legal action. “It’s interesting, but all I want is for Faye Dunaway — the real, Oscar-winning actress — to, like, sue me or something,” Yang said. “I would go to court.

I would get locked into the longest battle with her. All I want is just a cease-and-desist. Faye Dunaway, legendary actress Faye Dunaway, all I want is for you to reach out to me and call me ‘that sniveling homosexual.'”In August 2019, Dunaway was sued by a former assistant who claimed the actress.
