During the opening monologue of her show, which was on hiatus and had not aired since the draft opinion was leaked, Bee appeared angry and used multiple expletives as she blasted the potential decision, claiming the Supreme Court cared more about a “cluster of cells” than “actual people,” and predicting women would “die” as a result of it.

“If you’re like me, you’re just a few weeks away from having fewer human rights. Fun!” Bee began her monologue, describing the day the draft opinion leaked as “a beautiful day to kick back, enjoy the sun, and burn our throats to dust with endless screaming.”
“While the opinion isn’t official yet, it’s basically a trailer for how f—–g horrible life is to become for a lot of people,” she added.
She went on to describe the leaked draft opinion as “infuriating,” and slammed its author, Justice Samuel Alito, by claiming he cited “a s—head from the 17th God d— century, who defended marital rape and had women executed for witchcraft” in the opinion, referencing 17th century English jurist Sir Matthew Hale.
