2096...Oprah Was A Ho

Hey, believable for true. Kitty Kelley's new page turning biography skates over the question that we all know the answer to: how close is Oprah Winfrey and BFF Gayle King.

On her relationship with her best friend, Gayle King, Miss Kelley told USA Today: "I know people are expecting me to 'out' her. But I think she's just asexual. She's poured all of her energies into her career. And if she is, she is never ever, ever going to come out. So relax, people."

CBC Newsworld reports that another thing that is revealed in the bio is that Miss Winfrey prostituted herself as a teenager. This really is not that outrageous; when I was in university back in the early part of the 2lst century Professor Pamela Walker at Carleton told my Women's Studies class that one in twenty women undergrads knowingly prostitute themselves.

I don't have a footnote for that but I am sure that Anonymous does.

  1. Oprah admitted over 10 years ago, on live TV, that she was permiscuious in highschool, and that she became pregnant at age 14, not knowing whether the father of her baby was her abusing uncle, her abusing cousin, or her boyfriend. This is not news. I would hardly call her a "ho". Its called being a victim of sexual abuse and it's not funny.

  2. Well Karen there is a difference between being sexually abused and being a sex worker.

    X does not cancel out Y.

    So, if Kitty Kelley is right and Oprah was a sex worker then she was a ho.

    As Shakespeare wrote: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

    Or something like that.
