Drunk Kid Rock hauled off stage after profanity-laced anti-Oprah rant

All-around good guy Kid Rock was at it again last week.

The controversial artist launched a profanity-filled tirade against day-time talk show hosts at a bar in Nashville. An apparently intoxicated Rock was later removed from the stage by security.

In video obtained by TMZ, Rock, 48, tells the crowd, “F--- Oprah. Oprah Winfrey is like ‘Hey, I just want women to believe in this s---’. F--- her. She can s--- d--- sideways.”

Rock, whose legal name is Robert Ritchie, is a longstanding Oprah hater. In a 2008 interview with The Independent, Rock put Winfrey in the category of his “real-life villain” and said, I just don't believe her. Maybe it's because I'm not one of the 150 million brainwashed women who heed her every word.”

An avowed Trump supporter who’s dealt with accusations of racism in the past, Rock attempted to downplay any racist overtones to his anti-Oprah stance. First he attacked other talk show hosts Joy Behar and Kathy Lee Gifford. Rock has previously clashed with Behar, who he called a “b----” on a 2018 episode of “The View,” which Behar co-hosts.

Then, he concluded his bizarre rant with “If you say that, you’re like, ‘Hey, well, pretty sure Kid Rock’s a racist.’ I’m like, OK, fine. F--- off. Sideways.”

He did have some talent back in the day, was inspired by hip hop and punk rock, but for some reason went straight off the rails and became a rabid right winger.

I just don't know how he can square some of the lyrics in his songs, which seem to show solidarity with the social underdogs (including minorities) and then support someone like Trump, the ultimate bully.

years ago, I even saw him at Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando once.😔
I have learned to separate the artist from their body of work in the last few years. I used to love Kevin Spacey, he is a gifted actor, but a shitty person.

Keep talking Ritchie. At least you can still play the racist right wing circuit.
