Kid Rock won’t apologize for his drunken rant against Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar that he did at his Tennessee bar back in 2019.
Back in November of that year, TMZ posted a video showing Kid Rock, drunk off his ass and on stage at his ‘Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse‘ in Nashville, TN while going off on a rant saying “fuck Oprah Winfrey” and “fuck Joy Behar.”
In a new talk with Tucker Carlson Originals’ “Life Of A Rockstar”, Kid says: “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts, I own what I said.”
“I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan,” he said. “I got drunk and fuckin’ next thing, I’m on stage [saying] ‘fuck Oprah’…”
The Michigan-born rocker also took some verbal swipes at Kathie Lee Gifford during his rant, however he admits today he was talking about the wrong Kathy.
“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 ‘fuck Kathie Lee Gifford,'” he said.
“When it comes back on TMZ or whatever a few weeks later, I’m, like, ‘Oh, man, I like Kathie Lee Gifford.’ We’ve been kind of friendly throughout the years.”
After Kid’s rant went viral in 2019, the musician wrote on his Twitter account: “My people tried to get me to do The Oprah Winfrey show years ago and her people wanted me to write down 5 reasons why I loved her and her show… I said fuck that and her. End of story.”
If you haven’t seen the video for yourself, Kid can be heard declaring into the microphone: “Fuck Oprah. Oprah Winfrey is, like, ‘Hey, I just want women to believe in this shit.’ Fuck her. She can suck dick sideways.”
He added: “And if you say that, people say, ‘Hey, I’m pretty sure Kid Rock’s a racist.’ I’m, like, ‘Okay, fine’. Fuck off’.”
