It seems that tensions between Oprah and Taraji are still running high, with Oprah now allegedly blaming Taraji for the box office failure of the movie “Color Purple.” Taraji’s vocal criticism of the working conditions and pay on the set of the movie is said to have contributed to fans boycotting the film, leading to its poor performance.

Reports suggest that Oprah and other producers are now attempting to blacklist Taraji from the industry.

Additionally, rapper 50 Cent has entered the fray, warning Oprah to back off from targeting Taraji or face the consequences of him revealing damaging information about her. This threat comes amid ongoing beef between 50 Cent and Oprah, with 50 accusing Oprah of unfair treatment toward black entertainers, citing her past actions against Mo’Nique as an example.

The drama surrounding “Color Purple” escalated further when Taraji began backtracking and praising Oprah publicly, possibly in an attempt to salvage her career amid the backlash. However, the negative attention shifted away from the movie itself and toward the poor working conditions faced by the cast, including shared dressing rooms and lack of food on set.

Ultimately, despite high expectations and extensive promotion, the movie failed to meet box office expectations, likely due to the controversy surrounding it.
