I've been saying "F*** Oprah" a few times since she went two-faced concerning Michael Jackson. thumbs up!


nod But foreal my issue with her isnt specifically based on MJ at all (and speaking your opinion doesnt mean you hate anybody neutral geez.... she is just two face, phoney and there is nothing sincere about anything that she does which is mostly geared towards money.

People kill me when they say things like.....I dont know why people diskike Oprah I feel REALLY sorry for those kinds of peoples because it shows their just plain clueless and they dont have critical thinking skills. They just believe everything the media shoves down their face even when its manipulating the way they think and they dont even realize it...

Oprah has slandered and backstapped alot of people because shes selfish and she only cares about money.

If people want to call Oprah a saint/Jesus Christ because the media paints her that way then they can go right on but Im not about the bullshit razz

First of all, I believe ZERO of what the media shoves down my throat. If I did, I would own every CD Beyonce has ever recorded because, according to the media, everything she does is so fabulous and she has such an incredible voice. lol lol lol ill That's what makes me unpopular amongst a lot of people because I very seldom agree with what the media says what/who we are and aren't supposed to like.

As far as Oprah backstabbing a lot of people, I don't know what or who you are referring to but it goes on in the Entertainment world every day. Hell, it goes on in every world every day. I don't work in the entertainment field but I'm around backstabbers every day trying to get to the top or make things easier on themselves.

Many of the people some of you come on here revering got to the top because of backstabbing. Do you know how many musical artists have been backstabbed and careers have been sacraficed for other artists the music labels felt more deserving??? LOTS! It happens all the time. We all know the stories about Diana. But I can go into some stories about Nippy, Mimi, King Micheal Jackson and Beyonce but these stories were told to me in confidence from folks in the industry so I can't divulge. And there are countless others who have made their way to the top and didn't care who they stepped on in the process. Bottom line is, when you see anyone who's a mega star, you best believe there is a very strong probability they left a lot of carnage along the way.

I am in the entertainment industry so i'm fiercely protective of a lot of the hate that is thrown toward certain entertainers. One is Oprah. U still never mentioned anyone she backstabbed besides MJ(which i agree with u on).But anything else said about her like her new network is not fair..

Most networks need time to grow. She has been unfairly criticized for it not being a success out the gate. That is not fair. Also just because she doesn't cater directly to her African American audience is an unfair assumption also. She has on her new network boo boo..

All of yall can kiss my ass I said all I had to say and was clear.... I never claimed to be a insider on Oprahs where abouts... she has OPENLY made all her backstabbing clear to the PUBLIC in statements, interviews etc and there is no need for some bullshit insider to tell me that or to know it.

And dont you bamas bring MJ into this damn conversation.... this has NOTHING to do with him and he hasnt backstabbed or called someone a child molestor or trashed the whole hip hop/ BLACK community like OFAH has...

I saw the whole press conference with MJ & Al Sharpton by his side...With Mj calling Tommy a liar,evil ,the devil & everything else. In fact the whole thing was because Sony stopped promoting "Invincible" & Mj wouldn't do any more videos for his least selling album. Even my favorite off that "Butterflies:"

Also Fifty doesn't have to do interviews for money he is mega rich & did it to save his reputation. Oprah doesn't pay her guest. They gladly come on there for free. Because they love her...

Can you post some things where Oprah has slandered black people as a whole? Or are you just referring to the time when she wasn't embracing shit-hop? That's not slandering black people. That's slandering crap music (and rightfully so!). Celebrities slander each other all the time. Madonna has slandered plenty of people but when she does it, she receives a standing ovation? I don't feel Oprah should hold back from expressing her feelings about someone no matter what ethnicity they are.

I want to like her cause of the good she has done, but knowing in the back of my head she's fake makes it very hard

Probably because she feels she's some big-shot celebrity. I'm not gonna lie, if I had a quarter of the bread Oprah has, I'd be acting the same way, if not worse. lol lol I can definately see that going to people's heads.

I have met a few celebrities in my lifetime. A couple of them are black female singers who I love dearly (and who shall remain nameless because I don't want to get in trouble:lol: ) who I thought had some really stank attitudes. But, it didn't stop me from buying and listening to their music. People meet their favorite celebrities all the time and get snubbed and receive the cold shoulder from them. Doesn't necessarily make them evil. They are human.

I always laugh when I hear people say if they ever became famous or became multi-millionaires, it wouldn't change them. That's a lie! Of course it's going to change you. It's going to change your entire life. And you are going to adjust your attitude/personality to adapt to those changes. If people are fawning all over you, telling you how wonderful you are and always wanting to do shit for you and kissing your ass all day long, how is that not going to change you and make you think you are the bomb???biggrin

Oprah Beams at First Graduating Class in Her South Africa School

Oprah beamed as the first class of girls she handpicked in 2007 graduated last week from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa.

Oprah Winfrey’s parental pride was on full display on Saturday as 72 young girls graduated from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in Henley on Klip, South Africa. Her glee was completely understandable, since it was the first graduating class for the school Winfrey founded in 2007.

Oprah's School

Advertisement

Winfrey’s steadfast and earnest desire to better the lives of South African girls was met with both admiration and ridicule when she announced her intentions to build a lavish girls school in 2005. Many seemed unaware or dismissive of the millions Winfrey donates each year to institutions such Morehouse College in Atlanta. Rarely deterred by her critics, Winfrey used more than $40 million of her own fortune to create a state-of-the-art campus that features, among other luxuries, a 600-seat theater for concerts and plays, a full-service hair salon, and a 10,000-volume library.

In 2006, I spent a week traveling with Winfrey in South Africa, where I watched her choose the very same girls who graduated last weekend. I can only imagine the pride and joy she felt while watching 72 of the 75 girls who entered receive their diplomas. While some complained that Winfrey’s many millions of dollars and vast resources would be better spent here in the United States, I defy anyone to travel to the regions of South Africa where Winfrey journeyed and not be moved to action by the stifling poverty, pain, and struggle of black South Africans. Winfrey’s numerous trips to the area and subsequent long-term friendship with Nelson Mandela no doubt influenced her desire to make a difference in a place haunted by the lingering impact of apartheid and crippled by mass inequality and AIDS.

Winfrey understood the need for a place that patiently nurtured young women far too familiar with doing without and the mindset that often accompanies that feeling.

As we traveled through cities and townships in search of Type A girls, Winfrey listened (often with glassy eyes) for hours on end to the somber tales of preteen girls orphaned by disease, under developed due to lack of nutrition, and crushed by lack of options and opportunity. For many of the young applicants the chance to meet “Mama Oprah’’ was surpassed by the joy of experiencing a rare hot meal, a gift of warm clothes and an actual bed for overnight lodging—all courtesy of the “famous American talk-show queen.” Winfrey called all prospective students “my girls’’ and left little to chance as she put her stamp of approval on every decision made for her fledging new project. I watched as she carefully chose dorm-room paint colors that would mesh effortlessly with the varying South African tribal colors used on bedspreads, curtains, and rugs. And she mulled over the actual patterns of the plates the students would eat on and the accompanying silverware. Nothing could be too good for Winfrey’s girls, and she would regularly be on hand to make sure of that. Still, like most doting mothers, she couldn’t protect them from everything. Incidents such as a dormitory matron being charged with abusing a number of students rocked the school early on, while the discovery of a dead infant on campus (apparently a student hid her pregnancy) caused another media frenzy last year.

Neither tragic event dampened Winfrey’s desire to accomplish her goal of empowering young women. In a country where the best schools public or private are still dominated by whites, Winfrey knew she’d have to provide much more than an exceptional environment for leadership and learning. She understood the need for a place that patiently nurtured young women far too familiar with doing without and the mindset that often accompanies that feeling. Winfrey grew up a poor minority girl as well, struggling to overcome the many roadblocks in her way. To prepare her students for the world they'll soon face, Winfrey made sure they were well versed in the basics of biology, math, literature, and science. Yet she didn't stop there—to stress the connection between solid self-esteem and personal success, she regularly flew in a variety of expert women from fields such as psychology and health care to teach and demonstrate the benefits of being poised, self-confident, and polished women.

At graduation services Saturday, an openly emotional Winfrey told the students, “We’re taking a victory lap here, for transformation. Every single girl is going to leave here with something greater to offer the world than her body.’’ Six years ago Winfrey couldn’t stop smiling as she walked the massive grounds of her soon to open school, no doubt imagining what the future would hold for the students that would one day attend. This past weekend she witnessed “her girls’’ take their first steps into a future filled with all the hope and light “Mama Oprah” could provide.

Oprah has never slandered black people. U are delusional..

No your the delusional and indenial one.... you never objectively critique the celebrities you like and you delusional insist you a celebrity insider without backing it up with facts because you want people to think you are credible... Nobody gives a fuck about your lies....

This has NOTHING to do with MJ and really besides the point. Oprah is phoney and she has said alot of fake and phoney things about alot of other celebrities and people.

And Invincible is NOT his least saling album BOTDF is boo boo.....

And if you knew about the situation of why Michael would call Tommy out why would you even bring it up? Tommy was messing over alot of artists on the label and even Mariah Carey and other artists supported Michael. His bashing was warranted, he wasnt gaining anything from doing it. He was trying to make people aware of how labels screw over artists....

No I am not going to post anything because I am not trying to prove anything to you because the writing is on the wall and people here commenting know how Oprah is. Ive watched countless interviews and statements Oprah has made over the years and she is a very very very fake and phoney person that just gives her so called opinion based on the media and popular opinion.... She is far from real.....

And Oprah didnt trash shit hop... she said that she wasnt going to promote ANY rappers or HIP HOP on her show... Andre 3000, Ice Cube and ALOT of other rappers found issue with that and said that it was messed up and how she has all these white guests and A listers on her show...

Her comments was very very judgemental as a whole. And since Jay Z is a mainstream rapper she said she would give it a chance but I highly doubt she gives a fuck about the Hip Hop/ R&B community as a whole she just want speople on her show for ratings thats ALL she cares about.

This is not about other celebrities. Oprah gets treated like a saint and an angel when she really is a two timing bitch. Shes said alot of nasty things..... I have nothing nice to say about her.

Someone I know working in Chicago at a black community school had Oprah visit classrooms to check out the cirriculum, and many people did not have nice things to say about her acting like some kind of appropriator.

I want to like her cause of the good she has done, but knowing in the back of my head she's fake makes it very hard

Probably because she feels she's some big-shot celebrity. I'm not gonna lie, if I had a quarter of the bread Oprah has, I'd be acting the same way, if not worse. lol lol I can definately see that going to people's heads.

I have met a few celebrities in my lifetime. A couple of them are black female singers who I love dearly (and who shall remain nameless because I don't want to get in trouble:lol: ) who I thought had some really stank attitudes. But, it didn't stop me from buying and listening to their music. People meet their favorite celebrities all the time and get snubbed and receive the cold shoulder from them. Doesn't necessarily make them evil. They are human.

I always laugh when I hear people say if they ever became famous or became multi-millionaires, it wouldn't change them. That's a lie! Of course it's going to change you. It's going to change your entire life. And you are going to adjust your attitude/personality to adapt to those changes. If people are fawning all over you, telling you how wonderful you are and always wanting to do shit for you and kissing your ass all day long, how is that not going to change you and make you think you are the bomb???biggrin

I sort of agree with this, which is why I stayed away from the industry though I know people who could have connected me to getting into it if I really wanted it, and I had gotten some offers from people when gigging years ago, but always turned it down and deemed music as nothing more than a hobby or pasttime

Can you post some things where Oprah has slandered black people as a whole? Or are you just referring to the time when she wasn't embracing shit-hop? That's not slandering black people. That's slandering crap music (and rightfully so!). Celebrities slander each other all the time. Madonna has slandered plenty of people but when she does it, she receives a standing ovation? I don't feel Oprah should hold back from expressing her feelings about someone no matter what ethnicity they are.

No I am not going to post anything because I am not trying to prove anything to you because the writing is on the wall and people here commenting know how Oprah is. Ive watched countless interviews and statements Oprah has made over the years and she is a very very very fake and phoney person that just gives her so called opinion based on the media and popular opinion.... She is far from real.....

And Oprah didnt trash shit hop... she said that she wasnt going to promote ANY rappers or HIP HOP on her show... Andre 3000, Ice Cube and ALOT of other rappers found issue with that and said that it was messed up and how she has all these white guests and A listers on her show...

Her comments was very very judgemental as a whole. And since Jay Z is a mainstream rapper she said she would give it a chance but I highly doubt she gives a fuck about the Hip Hop/ R&B community as a whole she just want speople on her show for ratings thats ALL she cares about.

This is not about other celebrities. Oprah gets treated like a saint and an angel when she really is a two timing bitch. Shes said alot of nasty things..... I have nothing nice to say about her.
