Kid Rock is in the news again, but not for his songs this time. The musician, who is well-known for being outspoken, has been embroiled in controversy after a drunken tirade in which he disparaged Joy Behar and Oprah Winfrey, two of the greatest names in American television.
Kid Rock is not apologizing for his outburst and is remaining steadfast in the face of criticism and support from both fans and detractors.
The Event: A Public Outburst of Fury The incident happened at a recent performance when Kid Rock, who was obviously drunk, went on a diatribe against Oprah and Behar.
Speaking to the audience, Rock launched into a tirade when he referred to Oprah Winfrey as a “fraud” and criticized her media dominance.
He then focused on Joy Behar, co-host of The View, who has often been the focus of public discussion due to her political beliefs.
Rock made scathing and provocative remarks in a video that swiftly went viral, saying that Oprah “has no right to tell people how to live their lives” and calling Behar a “liberal puppet.”
