James Woods fires back at Twitter, vows to sue over censorship on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight'

James Woods' Twitter account was targeted by Twitter at the request of the Democratic National Committee, according to findings by the company's new CEO Elon Musk.

On Friday, Musk shared bombshell revelations about what took place at Twitter behind-the-scenes in a thread shared on the social media platform by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.

"Celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party," Taibbi wrote alongside a screenshot of an email exchange between Twitter employees.

"An additional report from the DNC," one employee wrote on Oct. 24, 2020.

The employee listed a link to a Tweet shared by user @stephen_liuhuan and a link to a Tweet posted by Woods' official account.

In the screenshot, another Twitter employee replied on Oct. 25, 2020, "I grabbed the first one under SI…defer to Safety on the high profile second one."

Both Tweets appear to have been deleted and user @stephen_liuhuan's account is suspended.

Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Andrew Kerr replied to the Taibbi's Tweet, writing, "The Stephen_liuhuan tweet was a link to Hunter Biden weighing and using drugs, and another link to a Hunter Biden sex tape. The James Wood tweet is Hunter Biden smoking crack and getting a foot job."

DEMOCRATIC REP. RO KHANNA EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER TWITTER’S CENSORSHIP OF HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY

On Friday, as Musk continued to release his findings, Woods phoned in to Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" and said he now plans to sue the Democratic National Committee over the damage done to his career after he was censored for speaking out on Hunter Biden's laptop. 

"I can guarantee you one thing more than anything else you'll ever hear in your life: I will be getting a lawyer. I will be suing the Democratic National Committee no matter what," he said.

"Whether I win or lose, I am going to stand up for the rights that every American – not a so-called celebrity. I'm not a celebrity -- I'm hardly recognizable anymore because my career has been destroyed by these very people."

"And I will sue. And I'm hoping other people will sue," Wood continued. "And if it turns out there are a lot of us on this list where the DNC targeted us, then I will quote the immortal words of Joseph Welch when he attacked [Wisconsin Senator] Joseph McCarthy for the enemies list he had – 'At long last or have you no shame?""

Addressing President Biden, Woods asked the same question Welch, a chief U.S. Army lawyer, posed to McCarthy amid hearings centered around his endeavor to root out alleged Communists and Soviet sympathizers – "Have you, Mr. President – Have all of you, at last, no shame?"

Woods later remarked it was somewhat of a compliment that the Democratic Party-Big Tech alliance appeared fixated on him. He is a rare conservative in Hollywood.

"I think it is a compliment, but, it's a big price to pay. It's not a lot of fun. I loved my career for 50 years. I was happy to be an award-winning and honored and appreciated actor, and I miss my career," he said.

He called those who allegedly orchestrated the censorship "vermin" who have no respect for American values like freedom of speech.

Woods claimed Hollywood casting directors actively seek out people who follow his social media in order to blacklist them from film.

He commented on how he once sued a man who called him a "cocaine addict" on Twitter. Woods won.

"Someone said, why would you do it? I said I'm going to defend my name… And if I have to be the flag bearer for this, then so be it. I'll be proud to do it."

Musk had promised to bring greater transparency to Twitter since he officially took over in October, including shedding light on why the company took the unprecedented step of limiting and blocking sharing of the Post's story on Hunter Biden's laptop in 2020, weeks before his father was elected president. It appears he is living up to his pledge.

Woods is known for being one of Hollywood's most outspoken conservatives. The 75-year-old actor frequently shared his political opinions and has been a longtime critics of Democrats.

In May 2019, Woods declared that he would no longer be using Twitter after claiming that the social media platform had removed a Tweet that he refused to delete.

The two-time Academy Award nominee's account had been locked the previous month after he reportedly tweeted, "'If you try to kill the King, you better not miss.' #HangThemAll."

"Twitter demanded that I rescind my tweet paraphrasing Emerson," Woods said at the time in a statement to The Daily Wire. "It now seems they have chosen to delete that tweet from my account without my permission. Until free speech is allowed on Twitter, I will not be permitted to participate in our democracy with my voice. As long as Jack Dorsey remains the coward he seems to be, my Twitter days are in the past."

Mel B says James Corden is the 'biggest d---head' in Hollywood she’s ever met: 'He hasn’t been very nice'

Mel B did not have pleasant things to say about James Corden.

On Friday, Melanie Brown was a guest on "The Big Narstie Show" where she was asked, "Who is the biggest d---head celebrity you've met?" The former "Spice Girl" put her own name on the list, as well as fellow Spice Girl Ginger Spice.

"So, there’s a few," Mel said on the British talk show. "James Corden, Geri Halliwell, Jessie J and me."

Mel clarified that she loved Halliwell, but she can be "really f---ing annoying."

However, Mel’s feelings on Corden seemed to stem from how he treats other people.

"I think you always have to be nice to the people that you work with — whether it be production, camera guys, sound, lighting," she said.

"We all work for the same thing, so you should always be nice, and he hasn’t been very nice."

A rep for Corden did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Mel was a guest on Corden’s the "Late Late Show" in 2016 and again in 2018. The former pop star joins restaurateur Keith McNally in the recent condemnation of Corden.

In October, McNally took to Instagram and initially banned the comedian from dining at his New York City upscale eatery, Balthazar, after Corden was allegedly "abusive" to his employees.

JAMES CORDEN NO LONGER BANNED FROM KEITH MCNALLY'S UPSCALE NYC RESTAURANT AFTER ‘PROFUSE’ APOLOGY 

"James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago," McNally wrote on Instagram at the time.

The restaurateur said in one ugly incident, Corden allegedly "yell[ed] like crazy" at a server because his wife's egg yolk omelet had egg white in it, and when it was brought back to the table after being fixed, it was paired with home fries instead of a salad.

McNally said Corden apologized "profusely" after the post got media attention, which prompted him to reverse the ban. But things took a turn when Corden claimed he did nothing wrong "on any level" to The New York Times shortly after.

"Should we not all be a little grown up about this?" Corden asked the reporter. "I promise you, ask around this restaurant. They don't know about this. Maybe 15% of people." McNally called for Corden to "own up" to his behavior in another Instagram post.

After the heated Instagram post, Corden issued a public apology to McNally and the Balthazar staff and called his behavior "ungracious."

"Because I didn’t shout or scream — like I didn’t get up out of my seat, I didn’t call anyone names or use derogatory language — I have been walking around thinking that I hadn’t done anything wrong, right?" Corden said on an appearance of the "Late Late Show" in October.

"As her meal came wrong to the table the third time, in the heat of the moment, I made a sarcastic, rude comment about cooking it myself. And it is a comment I deeply regret," the "Cats" actor said.

"I understand the difficulties of being a server. I worked shifts at restaurants for years," Corden added. "I have such respect and I value anyone that does such a job, and the team of that restaurant are so great.

"I hope I'm allowed in again one day, so when I'm back in New York, I can go there and apologize in person, which is something I will absolutely do."

As for Mel's response to Jessie J, she did not share any additional details, but the Spice Girl previously named Jessie J after being asked who the most "overrated" pop singer is during a 2019 interview. Jessie J later called Mel "overrated" in an Instagram.

"'Overrated' *Mel B Voice," she wrote at the time, according to Entertainment Tonight.

A rep for Jessie J did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
