George Clooney "lost it" when he was grilled on Morning Joe about the op-ed that "brought down" former president Joe Biden.
RadarOnline.com can report the Ocean's Thirteen star ended up in a screaming match with one of MSNBC's producers after the show's co-host, Mika Brzezinski, suggested former president Barack Obama urged the actor to write his op-ed requesting former president Joe Biden to step down from running in the election back in 2024.
George Clooney was left in about $17 million in the hole.
According to a new book, Clooney, 63, reportedly yelled at an MSNBC producer after the segment aired on Morning Joe in 2024.
Brzezinski said on the show: "This wasn't George Clooney. I think that Barack Obama has a lot of influence."
The allegation made by the morning show host reportedly left Clooney livid, a journalist named Chris Whipple claimed in his new book about the Biden campaign – which the journalist shared with Substack The Red Letter.
During a phone call with an MSNBC producer that reportedly lasted several hours, Clooney allegedly yelled: "How the f*** could you let her link me with Barack Obama, saying he made me write the op-ed?"
The Hollywood actor allegedly became even more frustrated when the producer denied any involvement in Brzezinski's claims.
Clooney referred to the producer as his "friend" but continued to yell: "You f----- me...You should have stood up for me."
The producer allegedly responded: "George, this is not a f------ movie. There's no script."
Clooney was livid over the statements made by the morning host.
After Clooney and the producer went back and forth, the MSNBC employee told the actor they would try to "take care of it" the next day.
Clooney allegedly responded: "This is a morning talk show on a cable channel. Nobody gives a f*** if we say he should get out or he should stay in."
Over the years, Clooney has made it known he's an extremely passionate Democrat and has voiced his support during Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Biden's presidential campaigns.
After the debate between President Trump and Biden back in June 2024, Clooney penned an op-ed a few weeks after for the New York Times where he called for the former president to abandon his presidential campaign, writing: "We are not going to win in November with this president.
"On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor that I've spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly."
George Clooney asked the former president step down in 2024.
