Oprah was also wrong about these sunglasses. (photo: WENN.com)
Even though Oprah is God, she still can be wrong sometimes (though not very often). Here are 10 “oopsies” that this most powerful and influential woman in the world has made over the years – by endorsing, loving, trying, hiring, or firing them:
1. James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces
2. James Arthur Ray, self-help guru accused of manslaughter in last year’s Sedona sweat lodge tragedy.
3. That her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation for girls in South Africa would be free of sex abuse and scandal.
4. O at Home magazine (her Hearst quarterly that folded in late 2008).
5. Alexandra Wentworth Stephanopoulos, who (while a very pedigreed WASP) is really, really annoying as a panelist and correspondent on Oprah.
6. Stedman.
7. That she’d never again appear on the Late Show With David Letterman after her supposed 16-year feud with Dave.
8. Kathy Freston’s Quantum Wellness diet.
9. That Jonathan Franzen would actually be grateful to her for making The Corrections an Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club selection.
10. That her chronic weight fluctuation is entirely her fault – it’s not! She has a thyroid disorder that makes her gain weight!
and the number ONE thing Oprah was wrong about:
Barack Hussein Obama II
The Secret. What a load of old rubbish.
Cool list of my own that more accurately portrays 10 things about which she is truly demented :
1) Life in general. Not a clue of how regular people live and think
2) What’s important. She’s never helped anyone in a way she couldn’t buy. Let her invest herself.
3) Who is important. She can’t see beyond the kingdom of self that she has built.
4) When to quit; she wore out her welcome in the first 30 seconds after she started speaking. I can speak incomplete, incoherent and illiterate sentences all day.
5) What to believe. She tells people exactly what they want to hear for as long as they listen. And then changes what she says she believes to the exact opposite every time the wind blows a different direction.
6) When to shut up. She just…..won’t…stop…….talking……(doesn’t she get it? People with an IQ over 75-80 don’t care what you say. It’s not brilliant or poignant, just annoying)
7) How to make friends. The shallow can be bought and the kind people will try not to hurt your feelings, but you have no idea what it takes to be close to anyone.
8) How to care. We’re not fooled by the fake tears and feigned empathy for anyone’s plight. If it didn’t give you ratings and make money, you wouldn’t care.
9) How to be a real person. What the world doesn’t need is another mannequin who looks right and dresses right, but is empty inside. (How do I know? You echo when you talk)
10) How to find the Wizard. At least the scarecrow didn’t pretend that he was smart, he acknowledged he didn’t know anything. She is standing behind the curtain with no heart, no brain, and no courage and just won’t go home. Please go home!
@Lupe, “BEAUTY IS WITHIN”
The anthem of fat people everywhere.
What about the time she made a public announcement about the league of 9000 penises?
you are wrong…Oprah is not a god of any type nor will she ever be…she is a mere woman with a following…nothing more!
DIAZ, BY THE WAY YOU DO NOT CALL PEOPLE THAT ARE OVERWIEGHT, FAT!!!!! SOME MAY BE OBESE AND SOME JUST FULL FIGURED LIKE OPRAH. READ & LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. YOU STATED THAT SHE CAN HAVE ANY TRAINER IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OF HER $$$$$$, MONEY BUYS YOU SHIT. A TRUE LOVING AND CARING PERSON IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. THAT CARES ABOUT OTHERS AS OPRAH DOES. THINK BEFORE YOU POST. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. VANITY WILL KILL YOU.
ANDREW DIAZ YOU ARE AN IDIOT TO BE POLITE!!! OPRAH IS NOT OBESE, SHE MAY BE OVERWIEIGHT. HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE OR ALL OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE EAT TO MUCH. THERE ARE ALOT OF REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE OVER WEIGHT. YOU OVIOUSLY HAVE ALOT OF ISSUES THAT YOU NEED TO RESOLVE AND SHOULD SEEK HELP. BEAUTY IS WITHIN AND YOU ARE VERY NARROW MINDED. EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU START SAYING THINGS ABOUT ANYONE. YOU MORAN. FROM A SEXY FULL FIGURED WOMAN
Great ! How many can you attest to? I have more, and I’ve not stuck my head, heart, soul, etc. out as much as she has.
Oprah’s obesity is probably not caused by a thyroid disorder. The obese often look for a reason for their weight gain to divert attention from their own culpability and relieve the guilt they feel about it. A thyroid disorder (hypothyroidism) is readily treatable and causes a host of symptoms that would make the diagnosis obvious long before there is excessive weight gain. In addition, Oprah has access to the best health care imaginable, so it’s safe to say her thyroid disorder getting appropriately treated. Oprah is fat for the same reason that 99% of all others are fat: she eats too much.
Don’t forget that fake Holocaust memoir that duped her!
