Debra Messing has broken her silence after a harrowing experience during Winter Storm Fern, unleashing public anger at New York City leadership. A single day of trying to reach a hospital appointment turned into a stark illustration of a city still paralyzed long after the snow stopped falling.

In a furious post, the Will & Grace star described being stuck in gridlocked streets while unplowed snow piled high. Even more alarming, she watched an ambulance struggle to move through traffic, trapped by frozen chaos that should have been cleared days earlier.

For Messing, a Brooklyn native, this moment felt different from past crises the city has endured. Blackouts, terror attacks, and pandemics tested New York before, but this, she argued, was not inevitable. It was a failure of basic governance.
