| "The whole thing makes me feel badly," Shatner said in the video. | |
| "Poor man, it's so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don't know what his original thing about me was, I have no idea." | |
| The 77-year-old said he felt he never knew Takei when they worked together on the original TV series and later in the Star Trek films. | |
| 'Festering' | |
| "I literally don't know him - I didn't know him very well on the series, but he's continued to speak badly of me all these years," he said. | |
| The couple were joined by Takei's Star Trek co-stars at the wedding. | |
| "You'd think there would be an epiphany at some point where he'd say - as he and I don't have many years left in this world - 'I wish him well', but instead what he does is makes a big deal about not inviting me to his wedding." | |
| Takei and Altman had previously said that Shatner was invited to their wedding, but he did not RSVP. | |
| "It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend," Takei responded. | |
| Star Trek actors Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols, who played Chekhov and Uhura, were the best man and matron-of-honour at Takei's ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. |
