Kid Rock is refusing to apologize for his drunken rant, in which he attacked Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar
I recently came across Kid Rock’s appearance on Fox Nation’s Tucker Carlson Originals, and it was clear he hasn’t softened his stance.
Staying true to his unapologetic persona, Kid Rock once again stood by his controversial comments, including his public disdain for Oprah Winfrey.
In 2019, he was caught on video at his Nashville honky-tonk shouting, “F— Oprah Winfrey and f— Joy Behar.”
Reflecting on that moment during his interview, he doubled down, showing no signs of regret.
In that same infamous 2019 rant, Kid Rock mistakenly attacked Kathie Lee Gifford, confusing her with comedian Kathy Griffin.
While he expressed some remorse for dragging Gifford’s name into it, calling her a friend, he firmly stood by his comments about Winfrey and Behar.
This distinction underscored his tendency to unapologetically own his opinions—unless he feels he’s truly wronged someone close to him.
Kid Rock has also faced criticism for other incidents, including being spotted alongside professional golfer John Daly without masks during the 2020 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. These moments, along with his outspokenness, have painted a picture of a man who values personal freedom over public perception.
By taking responsibility for his hurtful words yet refusing to apologise, Kid Rock strengthens his image as someone who won’t back down, no matter the backlash. His staunch, unwavering views continue to divide public opinion—some praise him for his honesty and refusal to conform, while others criticise his crude language and combative tone.
Despite the controversies, one thing about Kid Rock remains constant: he’s not afraid to speak his mind and refuses to cater to societal expectations of apology or political correctness. Whether you admire his boldness or find it offensive, Kid Rock’s defiance ensures he remains a polarising figure in pop culture.
