Oprah Winfrey, a talk show host, has been accused of being involved in some of the worst parts of Hollywood, according to Dave Chappell’s recent revelations. Oprah, seen as a simple talk show host, has been accused of blackballing celebrities willing to speak out about Hollywood and allegedly involving child trafficking. In 2009, actress and comedian Monique called Oprah out for trying to ruin her career.
The incident occurred when Oprah refused to pay Monique for her services, which was requested by producers. Monique felt she was blackballed in Hollywood as a result of the situation. Oprah has refused to apologize, and Monique decided to call her out again. In her earlier years in the industry, Monique revealed that she had been assaulted by her brother Gerald and that her family didn’t believe her claims. The same man later got arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison for the same crime.
Oprah, a renowned TV host, has been involved in the business of her daughter, Monique, and her brother Gerald. Despite knowing about Mo’s past, Oprah blindsided her and invited her parents to her show, which shocked Monique. She tried to confront Oprah about the incident on multiple occasions but was met with silence. Eventually, she ran into Oprah at a Hollywood event where she denied being aware of Gerald’s plans to bring the entire family. Monique has been vocal about her need for an apology from Oprah. Oprah’s name has been linked to human trafficking a couple of years ago, with her name appearing in an organized trafficking syndicate led by a false Guru and convicted offender, Joao Takes Sarah Faria. Faria, a Brazilian medium healer, has been accused of abusing women and was later arrested and sentenced to 63 years in prison. Oprah tried to sever all connections between them by deleting all her videos with him, but she continued to try.
Oprah Winfrey, a renowned TV host, established an all-girls high school in South Africa over a decade ago. However, the school’s opening was met with controversy when a school matron, Virginia Tiny Makopo, was charged with sexually molestation. Winfrey flew to South Africa to apologize to the students and their parents, citing her own experience with sexual abuse. However, when the same person was acquitted, Winfrey did not condemn the actions and fight for justice for her girls.
Oprah seems to have a strong bond with Harvey Weinstein, an American filmmaker who rose to become the face of an abuser for the Hashmi 2 movement. A series of bombshell articles revealed that Weinstein harassed and assaulted dozens of women for decades and used his power to bully them. Winfrey encouraged Weinstein to defend himself publicly, implying that the TV host might have been on Weinstein’s side against many women.
Winfrey made no mention of Weinstein during her Golden Globe speech and made it clear during other public utterances on the scandal. This pattern in Oprah’s behavior has led to a cultural shift, and many people seem to agree with him. The days of Oprah getting away with being a terrible person might be over sooner than she might expect.
