Oprah Speaks Out About Being Duped

stay-strong-o__opt1.jpg

As we mentioned last month, Holocaust survivor Herman Rosenblat was dropped by his publishers, Berkley Books, after reports revealed that his book about how he met his future wife at a concentration camp, Angel at the Fence, was all a lie.

Even Oprah Winfrey was a fan of his book, as she had interviewed the couple two times over the past years. She called their romance "the single greatest love story … we've ever told on the air."

But, now, Momma O finally breaks her silence.

On last Friday's show, Oprah spoke out about the situation and said she was "very disappointed" with it all.

Winfrey said "That's what happens with lies. They get bigger and bigger and bigger."

She also mentioned Rosenblat had planned to return to the show to "explain himself" but his attorneys decided against it. Though Oprah did clarify that the couple has "been married for 50 years and he was, indeed, in a concentration camp and so was she."

O's website still listed the book but added a small disclaimer stating "on December 27, 2008, Herman Rosenblat admitted to fictionalizing portions of his life story, including how he met his wife."

But Oprah's best non-gay female friend, Gayle King has to speak out about this as well. She says, "I was very disappointed because when the story first broke, the big headline was `Oprah Duped Again." I called Oprah and I said, `I'm so tired of you being the whipping boy for this hoax because he didn't just dupe you — he duped a lot of people.'"

      Once again racism is evident on this website. Oprah Winfrey is a Distinguished Black Woman and should be treated as such! You fucking cracker-ass racist fucks make me sick!

      DEATH TO THE WHITE RACE! DEATH TO THE JEWS! END RACISM!

      actually the wife was never in the concentration camp at all, just the husband. that's what they said on the show. i watch that shit.



    28. 28

      oh WHO CARES, it was a STORY… a lot of authors do that. I feel bad for the guy.



    29. 29

      Is DUPING a DOPE really that hard to do? Isn't that the same dress Oprah has been in for about two weeks?



    30. 30

      I don't think colored folks are that hard to fool, but I am not sure?



    31. 31

      Re: ObamaistheMessiah

      Re: ObamaistheMessiah – You're a fucking retard. Racism is not always towards black people, you sad excuse for a person. You just exhibited racism toward white people and Jews!
      EPIC FUCKING FAIL, YOU CRETINOUS TWAT!!!!!



    37. 37

      It's not the first time. Her school, the drug book, tom cruise. She just keeps on being taken in. She's not stupid but rather believes what she wishes was true until she has to admit she was duped (again). It wouldn't matter at all but many stupid people follow her like sheep and that's why thing get "bigger and bigger". She's responsible for that.



    38. 38

      He's the apple guy right where the girl brought him one every day so he survived in the concentration camp??? Well, I sure got duped too… Poor Oprah. This man ought to be ashamed of himself for lying to so many people, I actually thought he was telling the truth, I'm glad I didn't buy his book!!



    39. 39

      Oprah is a douche.



    40. 40

      "After extensive fact checking. We have discovered that the Virgin Mary was indeed, NOT a Virgin. In fact, Joseph was her third partner and Jesus is said to have been conceived during a passionate evening at a tapas bar bathroom in Jeruselem" Insiders say Oprah is heartbroken at having been duped once again. Publishers have withdrawn from reprint of the Good News on Oprah's advice….

      Looks like O was headed to a bondage meeting with that bag…why is she wearing a cock ring outside her tent/dress?



    43. 43

      So is Oprah saying that the lies are excused because a part of the story is true?
