In this segment, it’s revealed that Kerry Washington has taken a stand in the feud between Oprah Winfrey and Taraji P. Henson, siding with Taraji against Oprah. This stance isn’t surprising given Kerry’s reputation as a supporter of black women in Hollywood, understanding the challenges they face. The feud between Oprah and Taraji began when Taraji disclosed that Oprah had severely underpaid her for her role in “The Color Purple,” almost causing her to decline the role. While Oprah initially received backlash for this, it escalated when it appeared she was attempting to control Taraji’s career to silence her. Despite initially praising Oprah, Taraji later faced criticism for a movie flop, with some blaming her for derailing promotional efforts. However, Taraji also blamed Oprah for damaging her reputation and drawing attention away from the film. Carrie Washington’s support for Taraji stems from her disapproval of Oprah’s treatment towards her. Fans commend Carrie for standing up for Taraji, believing she did the right thing by not condoning Oprah’s actions. The segment concludes by asking viewers whether they agree with Carrie’s stance or if they believe she should mind her own business.
