Kid Rock’s back in the limelight, but for bad reasons. The bold rocker and rapper is causing a stir after a rant attacking media mogul Oprah Winfrey and TV host Joy Behar. Despite the backlash and calls for an apology, he’s staying put.
True to form, he’s doubling down, sparking a debate on free speech, celeb feuds, and America’s outrage culture. So, what happened and why no apology? Let’s look.
The Viral Rant
It happened in a Nashville bar. Kid Rock, aka Robert James Ritchie, was filmed cussing out Oprah and Joy. Drunk and slurring, he made his dislike clear.
“Oprah’s like, ‘Hey, I want women to believe this [bad word],’ and she can suck [bad word] sideways,” he said. Then he went after Joy Behar with more insults.
