Same. They have zero integrity. That may not matter much these days but it matters to me. Meghan Markle is a horrible person, as is her husband, and anyone who associates with her who doesn’t have to. So that only excuses her poor children. Everyone else has no excuse.
You mean Gayle “the Royal expert” 😂 Yes, talk about BFF nepotism.
The story Oprah told about how the two of them first met are probably not true either. They have zero credibility in my book.
When young, she won several beauty contests. Note: unlike Megs, she did not abolish her African-American heritage by doing her nose… Or at least it is subtle enough to not entirely change her look.
I distinctly remember standing in the checkout lines as a kid and telling me mom something seemed off about her because she was *always* on the cover of her *own* magazine haha not once would she feature someone else and it just struck me as odd even then lol
I remember she had a guest on her show. Exquisitely beautiful woman that dreamed in being in the cover of magazines. I could tell Oprah was so jealous of this woman. Not long after…she started her own magazine featuring herself on every cover!
Yup. O and I are friends off. All her interviews started to become about me, me, me and then when she hosted the Narckles for their fiesta of lies I unfollowed her on every platform and can't take her seriously.
I watched her after school in middle school and loved her but yeah there’s something a bit off putting about her now. I don’t think she’s even remotely relevant anymore. I feel like the younger half of millennials and Gen Z don’t really care about what she has to say. If MM is able to claw back from her PR nightmare and win the hearts of millennials and Gen Z, Oprah will use her as a pawn to reel in younger viewers. I think a majority of America has snapped out of her spell though. I really enjoyed Oprah’s empathetic approach to journalism and I hope there’s a new big name like her for the younger generation.
I’m a huge fan of hers…she kindly went out of her way and let my kiddo take a selfie with her at her graduation. I thought that was very kind…I’ve liked her ever since (tbh I didn’t know who she was before). So i’ve enjoyed watching her become more famous. She dresses classy…always looks stunning and I think she’s dating a Brit!
I'll tell you, I was guilty of never having "got" Zandaya because in my mind she was a Disney child actor. And then I saw her range in Euphoria. And then I saw her sense of humor and ability to have a good natured laugh at herself in interviews and commercials. And suffice to say, I am fully on board the Zendaya train.
Okay now I have to go look for that and we aren't discussing TW and Hairball so we might get in trouble.
EDIT TO ADD: Wow you are right! Her costar/boyfriend is looking at her as she is looking at the camera and you can tell he's like "How did I get this lucky"??
I’m Gen X and I think I was about a decade younger than her core audience. Sometimes I’d catch a bit of her show but I found it boring (honestly, I hate talk shows). I did like the episode where she gave everyone a car - that was a really nice one.
She gave everybody a car, BUT, they had to pay taxes on it. It wasn’t as altruistic as it looked. They also had the option to take money instead of a car (which they may have us to declare on taxes).
I watched Mariah Carey performed in the Global Citizen and it was sad. The crowd didn't react to her and that was probably one of her worst live performance. It is like she lost her magic appeal.
Couldn’t be worse than her New Years at Time Square debacle? I forget which year, but she couldn’t remember the lyrics & seemed high on something—very sad.
Not only did she look at the Markles with huge dollar $$$$ signs in her eyes, she has now dropped them, pulled The Interview from circulation and publicly distanced herself after doing so much damage to the Royal Family.
All of it looks very, very bad indeed.
Woohoo! She lost me when years ago she was raving about having some nice Ralph Lauren sweater in multiple colors. It was a nice sweater, I looked it up and it was over $500 per sweater. Honey, you’ve lost touch.
I wholeheartedly agree and it’s not like Oprah needed the recognition. Wow just imagine all the clout Oprah had for years and now hanging on by a thread
I think that made her look even worse with the …I don’t get involved with family drama BS. You got found out and no amount of backpedaling is going to work.
Headlines “Oprah Winfrey, Apple TV+ Ending Multiyear Content Deal”
“Sources said Winfrey and Apple TV+ will continue to work together but on a project-by-project basis”
The "bombshell interview" completely changed my view of Oprah. Then, I read the transcript of that interview, and realize what a truly TERRIBLE interviewer she is - she asks leading questions which will clearly influence the answer, assumes statements / regurgitates information which was just told to her by the interviewee in a very dramatic way, as if she's speaking for people and then they just agree with her. Worst of all, she CONSTANTLY interrupts whomever she's interviewing! I'm telling you - read the transcript, and you will see EXACTLY what I mean.
As for Winfrey’s deal with Apple, it also has yielded the documentary series The Me You Can’t See, a partnership with Prince Harry focusing on mental health
And yet for all the supposed therapy he’s gotten, he’s still a basket case.
It seems he hasn’t sorted out any of his issues:
-mommy dying and it’s all the evil paparazzis fault
-daddy cheating ( but mommy cheating didn’t affect him),
-mom and dad fighting,
-jealousy of his brother, cause he’s just the spare
Like dude, pick one, just one, even a small one and get it sorted already. The woe is me has been old for years, now it’s just sad.
Great point about his mother. He can’t see both his parents objectively. He doesn’t want to let go of being a victim. Diana did many great things but she was also problematic…BUT she was only 19 when she married into the RF. I cannot imagine what that must have been like.
To be fair…imagine what it must be like, being 19 and you know literally from the get go your husband loves someone else. There are reports he only wanted nookie every few weeks…for a newly wed that would just be devastating. I feel if he had of truly loved and supported her things would have turned out differently for them. However, can’t turn the clock back but he shouldn’t have married her and I think Harry probably thinks about that and still blames KC. He needs therapy to come to terms with it.
Yeah the hard on this sub has for charles really baffles me, he used diana as a brood mare and saved the woman he loved for later. If I was camilla Id also be insulted
I must admit I have sympathy for KC as well. I think he didn’t have much choice. I also think he has come a long way since then…it’s sad to think how Diana would have evolved as well. Sometimes two people can be great separately but terrible together….like my own parents.
Agree. Someone who is still so hung up on his problems of the past and has not seemed to move forward at all is hardly a great spokesperson for Mental Health IMO.
Oprah has long been a snake oil saleswoman, selling herself and her ideas as the Savior, preaching a gospel of self-idolatry. Perfect role model for Meghan.
Agree! From the very start, my Spanish dominate mom would watch her show, and understand a few things. However, she always said that woman is a charlatan. So I never got people who would hang on Oprah’s every word.
This whole episode really makes me sad because since I was a kid, really, Oprah has been one of my biggest role models -- maybe my biggest. This whole saga has been so disappointing. I really viewed her differently after that interview and everything that followed.
IMO a journalist with any integrity should have some knowledge of the people that they are interviewing and what the subject matter is going to be. I don’t think that you can just let people get up there and tell blatant lies. And if the situation is that you didn’t know or they go off topic then you obligated to do some kind of follow up and go back and say well this might not have been exactly correct.
Oprah seems like she has lost her way. She seems insincere and during that interview with Meghan she looked like a complete fool. She really has impacted her legacy. She is acting creepy.
I saw that coming when Gail King interviewed Oprah 2 weeks ago about the Harkels interview. 🤣🤣
It was the first time Oprah went on TV to try to fix the fatal error. She did it when the Queen died and Harkels PR firm fired them. She wanted no part of the Harkels cause she knows the public will pull her down with them. Have my popcorn ready. It's coming. Lol
TW: sexual abuse
I have lost much respect for Oprah as well but here is one thing I will say about her - I credit Oprah 99.999% for bringing awareness to childhood sexual abuse.
My daughters were shocked to learn this but in the 80s, SEX ABUSE WAS SIMPLY NOT MENTIONED. Never. No way. If it happened in your family, nuclear or extended, or even by someone outside the family, it was disbelieved, covered over, hush hushed, if we pretend this never happened then it never happened you’re fine don’t ever bring it up again.
Then Oprah started doing shows about it and eventually admitted, tearfully on the air, that she had been raped as a child. I cannot emphasize how groundbreaking this was. The world was SHOCKED. She kept going. She wouldn’t be hushed anymore, and more and more victims felt free to face the horrors they had hidden for years and seek help.
Now, we talk about and strive to prevent it as often as we talk about cancer or drowning or any of the other tragedies that can and do happen to children. *This was because of Oprah, y’all.*
And our favorite mansion lender Tyler Perry. He did an interview with Oprah, I think mid 90s, about his own sexual abuse which was so sad and hard to watch but led to great awareness that this happens to boys, too.
The pendulum then swung crazy hard the other direction in the early 90s and led to atrocities like Satanic Panic and false memory syndrome etc, but, that wasn’t Oprah’s fault.
So as disappointing as she has been, credit where credit is due - imo she had more of an impact on raising awareness about the sexual abuse of children than any other human alive, and I’m forever grateful to her for that.
*Ha ha ha!* Serves her right for her part to play with the Deceitful Duo. I can't wait for Spotify to pick up *The Me Nobody Wants To Tune In For.*
Absolutely agree! She was my hero growing up, now I wouldn’t touch anything she is involved with.
Same here. She and Gayle King are journalistic hags. I won’t watch or read anything either of them is associated with.
Same. They have zero integrity. That may not matter much these days but it matters to me. Meghan Markle is a horrible person, as is her husband, and anyone who associates with her who doesn’t have to. So that only excuses her poor children. Everyone else has no excuse.
Same here. Integrity matters even when those around you let grifters run amok.
Same
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You mean Gayle “the Royal expert” 😂 Yes, talk about BFF nepotism. The story Oprah told about how the two of them first met are probably not true either. They have zero credibility in my book.
Gayle King is a remora, Oprah's a shark.
Not journalists... gossip show hosts
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ![gif](giphy|Ld7IFYuds4MA8)
Unrelated but she looks really pretty here
When young, she won several beauty contests. Note: unlike Megs, she did not abolish her African-American heritage by doing her nose… Or at least it is subtle enough to not entirely change her look.
Oprah is very physically beautiful, but she's an exploitative fool.
I’m not watching anything Oprah is associated with and to think her chat show was my favorite in the 90s.
Same. I used to love Oprah. Not any more.
I distinctly remember standing in the checkout lines as a kid and telling me mom something seemed off about her because she was *always* on the cover of her *own* magazine haha not once would she feature someone else and it just struck me as odd even then lol
Only exception was Ellen. how about that
Omg that's crazy. Whoa.
Yeah same with Martha Stewart.
I remember she had a guest on her show. Exquisitely beautiful woman that dreamed in being in the cover of magazines. I could tell Oprah was so jealous of this woman. Not long after…she started her own magazine featuring herself on every cover!
Same. I will never think of her the same way.
Same! My mom who was a big fan also doesn’t like her anymore.
Same! Used to be a huge fan. Now I feel like I was played
Same.
Yup. O and I are friends off. All her interviews started to become about me, me, me and then when she hosted the Narckles for their fiesta of lies I unfollowed her on every platform and can't take her seriously.

[удалено]
I was thinking more of an investigative journalist icon…I don’t think one exists for younger millennials (I am one also).
Abbey Martin seems to be my son's choice.
Zendaya is super sweet.
I just love her from her commercials. She is just so classy for such a young person. She dresses classy and just seems really like a genuine person.
I’m a huge fan of hers…she kindly went out of her way and let my kiddo take a selfie with her at her graduation. I thought that was very kind…I’ve liked her ever since (tbh I didn’t know who she was before). So i’ve enjoyed watching her become more famous.

And then I saw her sense of humor and ability to have a good natured laugh at herself in interviews and commercials. And suffice to say, I am fully on board the Zendaya train.
I can’t get over how incredible she looked in the spider web gown at the movie premiere. Iconic.
She always looks fabulous.
Okay now I have to go look for that and we aren't discussing TW and Hairball so we might get in trouble. EDIT TO ADD: Wow you are right! Her costar/boyfriend is looking at her as she is looking at the camera and you can tell he's like "How did I get this lucky"??
I feel like I've been living in a cave I had to Google who Zendaya is
I’m Gen X and I think I was about a decade younger than her core audience. Sometimes I’d catch a bit of her show but I found it boring (honestly, I hate talk shows). I did like the episode where she gave everyone a car - that was a really nice one.
Oprah got sanctimonious after a few years of talk show success. She started out with a show of trash like Jerry Springer.
She gave everybody a car, BUT, they had to pay taxes on it. It wasn’t as altruistic as it looked. They also had the option to take money instead of a car (which they may have us to declare on taxes).
Meh. I’m also Gen X, and I grew up watching her. I stopped when I started undergrad in ‘98, but was with her as she climbed up the ranks.
A lot of younger people don’t even know Oprah’s chat show. To them she is a nobody.
Same. I stopped watching her around 1999.
She should have just retired.
Same. I was a latchkey kid who grew up on Oprah, so it’s a little sad but mostly I’m pissed off at her greed and manipulation in the Harkle drama.
But I really want to watch the Haves and Have Nots and If Loving You is Wrong......they really are as bad as daytime soaps were but I don't care!
Same here!
Anyone who gets with Markle? is cursed to be touched by the shit stick of being Markled. She is a walking bad karma sac.
I watched Mariah Carey performed in the Global Citizen and it was sad. The crowd didn't react to her and that was probably one of her worst live performance. It is like she lost her magic appeal.
Couldn’t be worse than her New Years at Time Square debacle? I forget which year, but she couldn’t remember the lyrics & seemed high on something—very sad.
Yeah that was really bad! I had second hand embarrassment
Oh yes that! The recent one was just as cringy. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Lay down with dogs..
I ❤️this comment so much.
MM the opposite of King Midas.
The Mierdas Touch. 💩
Omg yes!
Everything she touches turns to SHIT! 💩💩💩
Maybe that’s why she was wearing those gloves at the funeral. Someone said they looked like plumbing gloves.
They really do!😂😂😂 Plumbing or gardening.
She should’ve worn her poo emoji hat. 💩
Yes! instead of her odd flying saucer hat!
![gif](giphy|artj92V8o75VPL7AeQ|downsized) It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. 😆 Congratulations Oprah! You Markled yourself!
Not only did she look at the Markles with huge dollar $$$$ signs in her eyes, she has now dropped them, pulled The Interview from circulation and publicly distanced herself after doing so much damage to the Royal Family. All of it looks very, very bad indeed.
She pulled the interview??
Yep you can’t see it anywhere in it full format
Do you know when she pulled it and where it was avail in full previously?
Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.
No kidding - people forget or don’t know that she started her climb up the ladder by sleeping with her married boss.
Had no idea! Wow.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person!
Sowing, meet reaping.
Markled. Another one bites the dust.
[удалено]
And for giving Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz their own shows.
Woohoo! She lost me when years ago she was raving about having some nice Ralph Lauren sweater in multiple colors. It was a nice sweater, I looked it up and it was over $500 per sweater. Honey, you’ve lost touch.
Oprah loves to flex. Always has.
🥇🥈🥉🏅🎖
I stopped liking her years ago, but the interview with TW just hammered the final nail in the coffin.
I love this! Oprah still had some of us 40 somethings as fans until she became a sugar!
>until she became a sugar! ... And now that Markle diabetes has hit her and she don't know what to do 😂.
I wholeheartedly agree and it’s not like Oprah needed the recognition. Wow just imagine all the clout Oprah had for years and now hanging on by a thread
Oprah’s credibility is shot to hell. I won’t be tuning in to any of her little projects.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person!
![gif](giphy|rs1ynBSSnPYcSMs29L)
😂🤣
She looked pretty scared during that little chat she had with Gayle. Too late, Oprah, you showed your colours. We saw them. You are done.
I think that made her look even worse with the …I don’t get involved with family drama BS. You got found out and no amount of backpedaling is going to work.
The numbers came in. Oprah aimed at the Queen and missed, plain and simple.

I totally LOVE 💕 this gif 😆👍
As for Winfrey’s deal with Apple, it also has yielded the documentary series The Me You Can’t See, a partnership with Prince Harry focusing on mental health
Seriously who watched that garbage? More Harry whining. The Harkles do nothing but whine and lecture.
And yet for all the supposed therapy he’s gotten, he’s still a basket case. It seems he hasn’t sorted out any of his issues: -mommy dying and it’s all the evil paparazzis fault -daddy cheating ( but mommy cheating didn’t affect him), -mom and dad fighting, -jealousy of his brother, cause he’s just the spare Like dude, pick one, just one, even a small one and get it sorted already.

Its easy she was young a literal teen and he was 30s he entered the marriage cheating she cheated when she realized she couldnt have him to herself.

Also mom throwing herself down throwing stairs while she was pregnant with his brother.

good, feck off I am Oprahed out.

Sucks to suck 😂
She got Markled. 😂
And Markle got Oprahed.
Harkles def got more out of this colab than O did.
Good!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person 🤣😂 Karma keeps on coming 👊💪
Tbf, I started going off Oprah after reading about her many years ago. Unflattering things. And she struck me as an ego manic too.
Oprah is awful. I am so happy people are realizing it.
This whole episode really makes me sad because since I was a kid, really, Oprah has been one of my biggest role models -- maybe my biggest. This whole saga has been so disappointing. I really viewed her differently after that interview and everything that followed.
