The controversial clip featured Oprah glance at Taraji and quickly looking away before one could bat an eye. A few seconds later, the movie producer moved out of Taraji’s side to take a picture with Danielle Brooks.
The clip went viral on TikTok with its users speculating that Oprah and Taraji might be feuding. A recent Instagram post from both women has cleared the air on that.

She continued, “What I love about her portrayal of Shug Avery is that she plays her like a woman who not only sang the blues but had lived the blues.
Only Taraji could do that. She shared that her late father once told her, ‘You’re going to be one of the greatest actresses alive but wait until the world hears you sing.’ Taraji, the stage is now yours and I already see the standing ovations for you. I’m fiercely welcoming Taraji to the Purple sisterhood and I cannot wait for you to meet her version of Shug.”
Taraji on the other hand returned the praises with her own Instagram praises saying, “Ms. OPRAH has been nothing less than a steady and solid beacon of light to ALL OF THE CAST of The Color Purple!!! She has provided ENCOURAGEMENT, GUIDANCE and UNWAVERING SUPPORT to us all.”
The “Think Like A Man” actress went on to say, “She told me personally to reach out to her for ANYTHING I needed, and I did! It took ONE CALL… ONE CONVERSATION… and ONE DECISION MAKING BLACK WOMAN to make me feel heard.” She concluded her post with a vote of thanks to the 69-year-old, “Thank You Ms. @OPRAH For ALL That You Do.”
