Oprah's Stepmom Says Winfrey Called Her a "Negro" In Explosive Interview

[big_dog]

Oprah's stepmother, Barbara Winfrey, who was married to Oprah's dad, Vernon Winfrey, for 14 years agreed to an in-depth world exclusive interview with The Daily Mail recently and Part 1, which ran today, is filled with shocking allegations against the Queen of Talk. In fact, the claims she makes against Oprah are almost unbelievable.

Here are just a few of the revelations that made our jaws drop:
• She’s controlling – it’s all about control.
•It wasn’t unusual over the years for her to fly to her house in Hawaii, call Gayle and say, “Fire so and so and so and so and so and so." She never says a word to that person herself.
•Vernon wanted to do the DNA test but Oprah said, “No.” I think she’s afraid because she knows it would prove he IS her father. She can’t quite believe that such a silly man could make such a magnificent creature.
The biggest and craziest accusation came in the form of an anecdote, though. Apparently, when Barbara and Vernon visited Oprah in Chicago one time, "Oprah got on the intercom and announced, “Negroes in the house. Negroes in the house.” She thought it was funny. I thought it was insulting. I’m older than her. I know what it means. She was reminding us of our low class."

1. Not buying it.

The site seems seedy and has a very "The Globe" feel to it.

[big_dog]

3. shes got nothing to lose or gain out of it because she never signed a non-disclosure agreement

except she's being kicked out of O's house and going on social security/not living the lives of the rich and famous anymore. But dishing on Gayle and Steadman in tomorrow's editions (if true) is going a little far imo.

2. Oh shi-

[scarletwoman]

4. Why is this garbage being posted here?

The Daily Mail is a tabloid, no better than the Enquirer.

[big_dog]

6. I dont see O's lawyers lining up to sue her or the paper, they can under the UK's newspaper laws

it better be totally accurate or Winfrey can civil sue for tens of millions of dollars

[Aerows]

13. And that was one of the most despicable responses

that could be made.

[big_dog]

14. no, just being logical. many celebrites have won judgements in the UK against the press

Carol Burnett etc and they have to pay immediately

[Aerows]

15. "I think I'll be offensive just because I can skirt it enough to get away with it." n/t

[big_dog]

17. seriously i dont see this becoming a big deal, especially if O plays this off as humor

family relations are always touchy subject with celebrites, that is why they employ most of their relatives through their own charity foundations

[Aerows]

11. This is the worst garbage, and you said it, SW

Why on EARTH is it being posted here? This is a slime and slander job and I don't appreciate it.

5. Isn't the Daily Mail a tabloid?

[Control-Z]

7. Why are you posting tabloid trash? (nt)

[big_dog]

9. its worldwide news, no one can back off the story now

not the way the newspaper laws are written in the UK. the Gayle/Steadman stuff towmorrow (which I think is way out of bounds and personal/not news) will just add fuel to the fire

[Control-Z]

23. Worldwide "celebrity" tabloid gossip.

This is a political forum. Did you mistake this for TMZ?

[Euphoria]

16. +1

[Squinch]

20. It's what he does.

[msanthrope]

8. You sound concerned. nt

[gollygee]

10. Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant too?

I think I read that somewhere.

It's been a while since we've had an anti-Oprah thread. I guess it was time.

[big_dog]

12. I doubt think she would say something like that out of pure hatred

but I would like to hear her side of the story

[Squinch]

21. I want to know if Joey and Mary Joe Buttafucco are renewing their marriage vows

And what does Amy think about it?

[Enrique]

18. explosive!

[big_dog]

19. lets see what comes out tomorrow

n/t

[Squinch]

22. Why?
