After North Korea was accused of hacking Sony Pictures over the controversial film "The Interview," the country is now blaming the U.S. for shutting down its Internet and 3G networks and called President Barack Obama a "monkey", according to a report by the Associated Press Saturday.

Although North Korea have repeatedly denied any involvement in the hacking of Sony Pictures gaining access to private emails and corporate documents, the country certainly isn't afraid to express its anger over the comedy film revolving around the assassination of its leader Kim Jong Un.

Obama criticized Sony on its initial decision to scrap the release of the film, which ultimately led Sony to change its decision and distribute the film digitally. As a result, North Korea's National Defense Commission - the top governing body in the country - accuses Obama for being behind the release of the film.

"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," an unidentified North Korean spokesman said, according to the Associated Press.

The FBI conducted an investigation confirming North Korea's involvement in the Sony hack and Obama reportedly promised to respond, but wasn't specific on what form the retaliation would take.

North Korea is now experiencing Internet outages and network instability, and the defense commission believes it's caused by the U.S. The commission's spokesman says the U.S. began altering the Internet operation of major media within the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and the country experienced a national outage lasting more than five hours.

The commission also said that "The Interview" was the "results of a hostile U.S. policy toward North Korea, and threatened the U.S. with unspecified consequences," Associated Press reports.
