Lefty actor Mark Ruffalo ripped Kevin O’Leary in a blistering tirade after the “Shark Tank” host told Billie Eilish to “shut your mouth and just entertain” as she continues to face backlash over her anti-ICE Grammys rant.
“Kevin O’Leary why don’t you STFU,” the outspoken Marvel actor raged on Threads Thursday night.
