I was about to go to bed. Then I read this excerpt from Kitty Kelly's new Oprah biography, quoted from an interview with Oprah's aunt/cousin/sellout-family-member, Katharine Carr:
"Now, you have to understand that I love Oprah, and I love all the good work she does for others, but I do not understand the lies that she tells. She's been doing it for years now.
Where Oprah got that nonsense about growing up in filth and roaches, I have no idea. (Oprah's grandmother) kept a spotless house…It was a wooden, six-room house with a large living room that had a fireplace and rocking chair.
Oh, I've talked to her about this over the years. I've confronted her and asked 'Why do you tell such lies?' Oprah told me, 'That's what people want to hear. The truth is boring, Aunt Katharine. People don't want to be bored. They want stories with drama.
That story [of sexual abuse] helped launch Oprah and make her what she is today…I don't hold with telling lies, but in this case I forgive Oprah because she has done so much for other people. Maybe this was the only way for a poor child to succeed and become rich. Now she does her good works to make her amends.
Oprah does not love her mother at all…She gives her a great deal financially but she does not give her the respect and affection a daughter should, and that bothers me. Vernita did the best she could with Oprah, who was a willful, runaway child."
I do not care who you are, you do NOT speak ill against Oprah! She taught me how to pluck my eyebrows properly (a valuable lesson as an awkward teen who messed it up...a lot...because we didn't have beauty blogs on the internets to teach us back then!). Even if she did lie, keep your trap SHUT. This woman makes a real difference; she can pick the president, imagine what she can do to people who piss her off...
