Don’t mess with Carmela Soprano.

Edie Falco, the actress who played Tony Soprano’s wife in the acclaimed HBO series “The Sopranos,” revealed in an interview with New York Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart that she was very angry with Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid during the playoffs.

Falco said she would go after Embiid after the big man elbowed Brunson in the first round playoffs last season.

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

Brunson said he’s known Embiid since they came into the league and made it clear he wasn’t cool with him elbowing, but whatever ill will there was between them during the heated moment disappeared.

The Knicks had the last laugh though, as they defeated the 76ers in the first round and eventually lost to Indiana Pacers in the playoffs.
