Reading the biography of Oprah by Kitty Kellys

It has been out for a few years... WOW!{#emotions_dlg.scared} I see Oprah in a whole new light. Her childhood was pretty scandalous.. and Oprah has kept quiet, even lied about much of her past and things she has done in her life and to get ahead.... Not the nice person really that she portrays or at least tries to portray. Not too forgiving or nice to family members... very interesting read.

Those unauthorized biographies are nothing more than gossip and second hand information.

Kitty Kelly has written a lot of UNauthorized biographies of celebrities, none of them flattering.

Re: Reading the biography of Oprah by Kitty Kellys

My name is Gossip.

I have no respect for justice.

I maim without killing.

I break hearts and ruin lives.

I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted the more I am believed.

I flourish at every level of society.

My victims are helpless.

They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face.

To track me down is impossible.

The harder you try, the more elusive I become.

I am nobody's friend.

Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.

I topple governments and ruin marriages.

I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion.

I spawn suspicion and generate grief.

I make innocent people cry in their pillows.

Even my name hisses.

I AM CALLED GOSSIP.

Kitty Kelley makes her money selling gossip.

Oprah has been very forthcoming about her childhood, her pregnancy, everything.

NO of course not. But she did interview many family members and past friends of Oprah's... many people who she worked with in the very beginning.

With One beauty contest she actually was NOT the winner and when they came to her telling her of the mistake and asked if she would fairly step down..... Oprah said heck no! She wanted that title no matter if she really won it fairly or not. That made me see someone who is not quite on the up and up about truth

If you believe her. I don't believe everything I read or see on tv.

Re: Reading the biography of Oprah by Kitty Kellys

I read the book and I take everything with a grain of salt. My view is some of it is accurate and some is not. Relatives may or may not be reliable sources and even if two people witness the same event, they come away with different points of view. Nothing in the book diminishes Oprah's accomplishments whatever personal faults she may have. I'd hate to think what some of my relatives might say about me.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.
