Did Denzel Washington’s stealing from Taraji and other black actresses cause him to rage on Oprah?

The duo collaborated on the forthcoming “Color Purple” musical film.

Oprah Winfrey and Taraji P. Henson  are showing support for each other amid unverified rumors of a feud.

The two stars, who are both involved in the forthcoming Color Purple musical film, shared enthusiastic Instagram posts about each other’s talents and strengths.

“I’ve longed admired Taraji. She can make you laugh, cry, cheer, and feel everything in between,” Winfrey wrote. “But I had no idea she could SANG! Taraji the actress: A force. Taraji the singer? A complete revelation.”

Winfrey, who produced the upcoming film and played Sofia in Steven Spielberg’s 1985 adaptation, went on to praise Henson’s portrayal of Shug Avery, the character played by Margaret Avery in the original film. “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 wrote. “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.”

Meanwhile, Henson highlighted Winfrey’s leadership in the industry. “Ms. OPRAH has been nothing less than a steady and solid beacon of light to ALL OF THE CAST of The Color Purple!!!” she wrote. “She has provided ENCOURAGEMENT, GUIDANCE and UNWAVERING SUPPORT to us all.”

Henson also shouted out Winfrey’s personal accessibility to her as an individual. “She told me personally to reach out to her for ANYTHING I needed, and I did!” she said. “It took ONE CALL… ONE CONVERSATION… and ONE DECISION MAKING BLACK WOMAN to make me feel heard.”

Henson previously told EW about her desire to make Hollywood a more equitable place for Black women to work and create. “My prayer is that the work and the fight and the struggle is to make it easier for them, because I was the little girl that wished and saw these women, these incredible women, [and thought,] ‘I want to do that one day,’” she said. “I don’t want to hear her talk about the same things that me and my sisters have been fighting for for so many years. If I’m not in a position to make it better for those coming behind me, what am I doing?”
