*Hollywood legend Anjelica Huston did not hold back in spilling the tea about some of your Hollywood favs in a new interview with Vulture.

The silver screen icon is speaking out about all the A-listers who have wronged her over the years, while at the same time defending the likes of Jeffrey Tambor and Woody Allen — who have been accused of sexual misconduct.

In the interview, Huston calls out the misbehavior of stars including Oprah Winfrey, Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy.

She claims Oprah has had a problem with her ever since she won the Oscar for “Prizzi’s Honor” the same year Winfrey was nominated for “The Color Purple.”

As reported by TooFab, when asked about the “repercussions” of beating the media mogul, Huston said, “She never had me on her show, ever. She won’t talk to me.”

“The only encounter I’ve had with Oprah was when I was at a party for the Academy Awards, a private residence,” she continued. “I was talking to Clint Eastwood, and she literally came between us with her back to me. So all of the sudden I was confronted with the back of Oprah’s head.”

Huston explained that she believes Winfrey acted so rudely because she loss out on the Oscar.

“Well, nobody else would dislike me so much as to literally, physically come in between the person I was talking with that way. But I admire Oprah. God knows, she’s made some big steps.”

Huston then explained why reports about Eddie Murphy being a bit of a diva are true. Apparently he has a rule that everyone on set must arrive before he does

“You’d be waiting for over 15 minutes in a California summer, so you’re not appetizing by the time you get on-camera,” she explained. “Maybe he didn’t recognize that factor. So I requested to at least know when he was traveling to set. His reply, through the grapevine, was ‘Ladies first.’ Frankly, a lot of male movie stars behave in an offhand manner, like they’re just more important than you are.”

Another actor she claims to be a big pain in the ass is Billy Murray.

“He was a shit to me on ‘Life Aquatic,'” Huston claimed. “The first week I was there, we were all in this little hotel, and he invited the entire cast to go and have dinner, except me. And everyone came down for dinner, a little dog-faced about my not being invited, and they were all like, ‘Oh, you know, we don’t really want to go.’ That was worse than anything.”

Huston, who stars in “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum,” also fired shots at Diane Keaton’s new feature, “Poms,” about a group of women who start a cheerleading squad at their retirement community.

“I’m looking for movies that impress me in some way, that aren’t apologetically humble or humiliating like, ‘Band of cheerleaders gets back together for one last hurrah,’ you know. An old-lady cheerleader movie,'” she said. “I don’t like that kind of thing. If I’m going to be an old lady — and I’m sort of touching old lady these days — at least I want to be a special old lady. I don’t want to be relegated to some has-been making a comeback. I hate comebacks.”

Keaton’s “Poms” opens May 10 and  “John Wick” hits theaters May 17.
