In a shocking new interview, Oprah Winfrey is speaking out about her highly publicized feud with Taraji P. Henson, and it’s clear that the drama is far from over.
The drama started when it was announced that Taraji had been cast as Celie in the upcoming movie adaptation of Alice Walker’s classic novel “The Color Purple”. Many fans were shocked by the news, as Oprah had previously been rumored to be in the running for the role.
However, things took a turn for the worse when Taraji took to social media to express her excitement about the project. In a series of tweets, Taraji praised Walker’s work and thanked her for the opportunity to play the iconic role. But in a subtle dig, she also mentioned that she was “humbled” to be playing a character who was “so strong and so powerful”.
Many fans took to social media to interpret Taraji’s comments as a diss aimed at Oprah, who had previously been rumored to be in the running for the role. And now, Oprah is speaking out about the drama, saying that Taraji is “difficult to work with” and that she’s not surprised that she was cast in the movie.
“Taraji is a talented actress, but she’s also very difficult to work with,” Oprah said in a recent interview. “She’s got a lot of attitude and she’s always trying to one-up everyone else. And I think that’s why she was cast in this movie – because she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.”
Oprah went on to say that she’s not surprised that Taraji was cast in the movie, given her reputation for being difficult to work with.
“I’ve seen her behavior on set, and it’s just not acceptable,” Oprah said. “She’s always trying to control everything and everyone around her. And I think that’s why she was cast in this movie – because she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.”
As the drama continues to unfold, fans and fellow celebrities alike are weighing in on social media, with many siding with Oprah and calling out Taraji for her alleged behavior. But others are defending Taraji, saying that she’s simply trying to bring her own unique perspective to the role.
The controversy has also sparked a larger conversation about racism and representation in Hollywood, with many calling for more diversity and inclusion in the industry.
