"Orange is the New Black" star Lea DeLaria, reportedly shouted at a Bible preacher on a subway car. A video showing the actress in a heated argument with a man, who was trying to push his religious views, has surfaced.

DeLaria is first seen singing a rendition of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" to mellow down the man's view but she lost her cool when he keeps preaching, making her to shout at him, "Sorry, you're part of the reason America's in trouble. Religious fanatics are the reason America's in trouble, sir, " The Wrap reported.

Things took an ugly turn when the man allegedly started speaking against homosexuality. It made DeLaria say that "man is not doing anything which is being asked by the Bible. Jesus said, 'Pay no attention to a man who makes a show of their faith, because they do it for themselves, and not for God.'"

DeLaria is yet to respond to the subway car incident.
