Hilary Duff Has No Regrets About Dissing Faye Dunaway

On Tuesday's Bonnie Hunt Show, Duff defends her remarks.

"She started acting way later than I did so I think I have time to grow and grow with each project," she says. "I am learning and work hard at my craft."

While Duff admits her remark was mean, she says, "It's not OK for people to take stabs at you and to say mean things for no reason."

Hunt tries to comfort Duff.

"I think even Faye went through a time, if you look historically, where some people might have said that about her," Hunt tells the singer, trying to justify how Dunaway criticized Duff's acting skills. "She has great beauty, but she proved herself."
