Fox Nation.
In 2019, TMZ released footage of Kid Rock on stage repeatedly saying “f— Oprah Winfrey” and “f— Joy Behar.”
“I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan,” he said when pressed about the rant. “I got drunk and f—in’ next thing, I’m on stage [saying] f— Oprah…” It featured Rock laying into the television personalities. Audience members commented on how he seemed “blackout drunk” as he spoke for two minutes onstage before having to be helped off the stage by security.
Speaking “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts, I own what I said,” Rock said of his harsh comments. He continued, reflecting on that night: “I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan.
“I got drunk and f***in’ next thing, I’m on stage — f***Oprah,” Rock said.
Rock did clear up one mistake he made during his drunken 2019 speech. He accidentally criticized Kathie Lee Gifford when he actually meant to call out the comedian Kathy Griffin. “I was trying to go after Kathy Griffin you know, for holding up Trump’s head, but I’m so out of it I’m like ‘f*** Kathie Lee Gifford.'”
