Haitian Journalist Arrested For Taking Pictures Of Oprah In Port-au-Prince
As of this week, Oprah Winfrey is in Port-au-Prince with Sean Penn to try and offer aid to the poor souls who were made homeless due to the 2010 earthquake. However, it seems her presence has done more harm than good, at least to one journalist who was caught in the crossfires of her security detail.
It seems Big O's camp didn't realize the man was a legit journalist, not a paparazzi. A fellow member of the press actually saw a guard drag the Haitian photographer into a small police station at the camp where Sean and Oprah were visiting. The police interrogated him for over and hour and a half, insisting that he erase his camera memory if he was to be let free. Finally, a senior police inspector arrived ordered the photographer released.
Winfrey's spokesman Chance Patterson later said the guard didn’t realize the man detained was a journalist.
Well, maybe we all should have looked into that before berating the man for doing his job. It doesn't sound like he was doing any harm whatever so ever. At least things didn't get violent.

Honestly, if these celebs really want to help people, they should just send money to reputable charities. If they want to raise awareness by being there, they should be prepared to drop their prima donna behaviour.
Re: rosebud99 – Well stated. Although Mr. Penn seems to actually be putting his money where his mouth is and not only walking the walk, but talking the talk. RARE these days. SEAN PENN FOR PRESIDENT (OF HAITI). Wyclef WHO?
Circus in town ???
What are all the clowns doing in Port-a Prince ????
Fat Ass O, Sean,Bill Clinton,Even Fatter Ass Kim and her whore monger mom
The people of haiti have suffered enough
None of you are there for them, your all there for your greedy selves
You should be ashamed, but of course, you have no idea what that word even means
I hope this year Bruce Jenners balls drop, and he gets away from that whore monger he married
Okra and Sean equals a Love Connection . LOL !!!
Are they going to allow her 'security detail' to possibly break the law and get away with it?
Disgusting. How about asking the man who he's with first, goons.
Oprah's physical well being is not inherently more important than the Haitian journalist's, yet her security goons acting unilaterally actually created what she fears. Ironic.
I wonder what the food and accommodations were like for Oprah and her huge entourage? Somewhat better than the poor people they were there to see I imagine.
Those poor Haitian have to be exploited by Okra Panfry; now there's no food for them….
Maybe Okra can open a school for poor Haitian girls who will then be locked up 24/7 & beaten and raped by the staff…just like her school in Africa.
Puhleeeezzzzeeee!!!! I really don't understand the audacity of these prima donnas. Get over yourself already…most of America already has.
Re: rosebud99 – Well stated. Did you see the A. Bourdain episode in Haiti? It shows how good intentions can go horribly wrong. Giving money to a reputable charity is the best answer for rebuilding the infrastructure and feeding the hungry. Penn is doing a great job there.
Always wanted to visit Haiti but guess it is not going to happen in my lifetime, or at least in this life.
Oprah and Kuntrashans could shave a few hundred million centimetres off of their lardarses and feed the whole economy. At least Penn would be buying and smoking enough ganja to keep some poor souls in comfort.How fucking crass to use this tragedy for a photo op.I hope oprah and Kuntrashian are doing it "rough lile the locals" yeah and pigs might fly.
Re: Chandler Bing – Like
I will NEVER understand celebs NOT helping the Grand Ole USA, never. Monies should be tapped out helping the home front.. when that is well and done then by all means.. help the entire world.
