In a bizarre interview on the "Matty P's Radio Happy Hour" Canadian actress Rae Dawn Chong went on a verbal attack against Oprah Winfrey, TMZ reports. In the two minute interview Chong manages to insult Winfrey's weight, her physical appearance and calls her the N-word twice.
Chong and Winfrey starred in "The Color Purple" together back in the '80s. Winfrey played feisty Sofia in the movie while Chong played timid Squeak, the girlfriend of Sofia's husband Harpo.
It's not sure what prompted the vicious attack but on the radio show, host Matty P asks Chong about her relationship with the talk show Queen. The interview starts out with the host asking her about "being treated like crap" on the set of the movie which Chong said was not true.
"She was lovely [during 'The Color Purple']," Chong began. "It was after when I starred in 'Commando' with Maria Shriver's husband in a movie, she was a total biotch."
Apparently, things went bad between the two after Winfrey asked Chong to come to her show and had what she described as a horrible experience.
"She invited me to come to her show and she just wasn't having me. She's competitive," Chong said. "She didn't like me. She just wasn't having me."
"They put me in a real shitty hotel downtown and my son got sick and at the end of the day, it was just a nightmare," she continued. "I ended up being backstage and she called me on stage and I was like, 'You know what, f-k you b-ch.' Oprah is all about Oprah."
At this point the host is quiet, clearly not sure what to say about the rant. Chong continues calling Winfrey a "brown noser" and slamming her for her weight.
"When we worked with her, the one thing about Oprah, she was that fat chick, the cheerleader or the wanna be cheerleader in school that was the student council president, that was best friends with the principal... she was the fat chick that did everything and everybody loved her," the actress said. "That was Oprah."
In between the name calling she does give Oprah some compliments but soon begins ranting again calling the talk show host a "field n-ger."
To end the verbal attack Chong says that Winfrey really is a "miracle" for all that she has done and insists she respects Winfrey.
