Fans slammed Oprah Winfrey for bringing up Tina Knowles’ two ex-husbands on her “Oprah’s Book Club” podcast Tuesday.
The “Color Purple” actress said it was “admirable” that the fashion designer, who was previously married to Mathew Knowles and Richard Lawson, fully told her story in her newly released memoir, “Matriarch.”

“We are fully engaged in your story and all the people that are in your life — obviously, your ex-husband,” she said in one clip before clarifying “ex-husbands” with a heavy emphasis on the “s” at the end.
Fans quickly took to X to call out Winfrey’s remark.
“Oprah’s shady ass,” tweeted one user.

Others defended Winfrey mentioning Tina’s exes because the pair, both 71, are longtime pals.
“Lol Oprah and them are friends, so chill, guys. It’s funny,” wrote one X user.
“She kinda made up for it,” declared another fan alongside another clip from the same interview, in which Winfrey said Tina was “fair” to Mathew in the book.
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Winfrey and Tina for comment but did not immediately hear back.
