I read this whole thread and I agree with most people stated on here.
Do I like Oprah? No, I do not. The woman is fake to me. I admit, I still watch her show only when she has celebrities that I like are that are interesting on there. I remember all of the things that she said about MJ and I did not like any of it. I am not surprised that she did not want Aprodite Jones to come on her show. Oprah is about making headlines not telling the truth. That is how I see it. People based their opinions on what she says and I find that creepy and distrubing. Even her own fans have talked abck to her.
Janet was on Oprah and she knows what Oprah has said about Michael. As usual, we all know that Janet does not care. If Janet needed the publicity, she hangs out with Oprah and talk. Blah.
When Lisa and the evil Priscilla was on her show, Oprah wanted the both of them to trash MJ. LMP did but then stopped and Priscilla kept on going and going. I was bothered by what Priscilla was saying because it sounded racist and disgusting to me. She was even trying to assume that MJ was hitting on LMP when LMP was 16! I mean, Mike was just vindicated of that trash months before that interview. Oprah did not care to tell Pricilla to stop.
There are so many things that Oprah did to MJ that I hated. I love the interview she had with MJ. She did seemed as though she liked him but looking back, it was all fake. It is still one of MJ's best interviews, but the one he did with Geraldo was grand.
Oprah also is biased towards the hip hop community. When she had that panel on her show after the Don Imus mess, she tried to trash hip hop and the rappers. I saw her point of view, but I thought it would have been fair to bring them on the show and let them express their view so that everyone can understand where they were coming from instead of trashing them. I could not understand why she even went there with them and I did not undesrtand what hip hop had to do with Don Imus racist comments about a female basketball team from Rutgers University. I felt Don Imus should have been on the show to explain. Oprah was called out by rapper/actor Ice Cube when he was interviewed in some article. Oprah did her show on a reality show that was aired on the channel FX called "Black/White". A white man and Ice Cube produced the show. Ice Cube said that Oprah did not invite him on her show to discuss the show. He was angered and he felt that she did that because she does not like hip hop. He stated that she would invite molesters, rapists, and even murderers on her show, but not rappers like himself. I felt that Ice Cube made an interesting point and one of the reasons why I do not like this woman.
As for her charitable work - I do believe that she cares about people but I doubt that it is truly from the heart. I feel that if you give back from your heart, you do not have to tell the whole world about it. You just do it and go home. MJ always given back without telling anyone and I like that. Oprah needs to have the press there for some reason. I also want to harp on this - her school that is in Africa had to get rid of one of the teachers because that one teacher (who is female) supposedly touched one of the students inapproately (sp). I thought that was interesting that she trashed a man that would never do that, but tries to deal with that mess that happened in her school and move on.
I wonder why she won't bring her REAL cousins onto the show to talk dirt about her molesters the way she pulled the Presleys onto her show, referred to them as cousins, and then dogged MJ?
Great point. Yeah, I also found it distrubing that she was happy when she found out that she was cousins to the Presleys as if it was a great thing. Now, if the Jacksons were her cousins, would she have felt the same way? Maybe towarsd Janet. I was also distrubed when she did a whole show on the Osmonds and have never invited the Jacksons to her show. Why not? That is something to think about.
Overall, I am not impress by Oprah aka Orka. I just watch her show and if she talks about new age nonsense or invite Dr. Oz, I just change the channel. I think the woman hates MJ because of the false allegations (if she didn't, why just bring T-Mez or Ms. Jones to the show to talk about the book? Or Geraldine Hughes?), the trash LMP and Priscilla said to her about MJ (why didn't she asked LMP what she meant when she said that MJ "used and manipulated" her?) and the fact that MJ is not paying attention to her.
