George Clooney is pushing back against claims that he confronted an MSNBC producer following comments made by Mika Brzezinski on "Morning Joe." Brzezinski had speculated about the origins of Clooney's recent opinion piece that was critical of President Biden. Specifically, she suggested that former President Barack Obama might have been involved in the op-ed's creation.
During a CNN interview, Clooney addressed the rumors directly, stating that he did not yell at any MSNBC producer. He clarified that the opinions expressed in his op-ed were solely his own and not influenced by anyone else, including former President Obama.
The initial report of the alleged confrontation surfaced shortly after Brzezinski's remarks. Clooney's denial aims to set the record straight and dispel any misconceptions about the circumstances surrounding his op-ed and his interactions with MSNBC staff.
