'Orange Is the New Black' Actress Lea DeLaria Argues With NYC Subway Preacher (WATCH IT)

Don't mess with "Orange is the New Black" actor Lea DeLaria!

While riding the train in New York City DeLaria, who plays Carrie "Big Boo" Black on the popular Netflix series, encountered an alleged preacher who was making homosexuality references based on the Bible.

"You have no right! Go to another train," DeLaria told the preacher. "Get off this train. Other people believe other things and have every right to believe other things on this planet and in this world. We do not have to be force-fed this man's religious beliefs. Jesus never said for you to do this never, not anywhere in the Bible."

In the clip obtained by TMZ, the 56-year-old actress, who is seen wearing a black shirt, confronted the unidentified man about his sermon.

"Show me anywhere in the Bible where Jesus says it is OK for you to do this. Don't come at me because I went to f***ing Catholic school for 12 years and I know every lie," she ranted. "This is mass transportation... and as long as you keep talking, I'll keep talking!"

An eyewitness told Gothamist website that many people on the train were taking pictures and videos of the situation, but were not "sure if it was real or staged."
