This book sounds SO juicy!
Apparently Oprah Winfrey exaggerated quite a bit about her impoverished upbringing in Mississippi, according to Kitty Kelley's new biography.
O's cousin Katherine Carr Esters says:
“Where Oprah got that nonsense about growing up in filth and roaches I have no idea. I’ve confronted her and asked, ‘why do you tell such lies?’ Oprah told me ‘that’s what people want to hear. The truth is boring.’”
Kelley also writes that there were rumors swirling about a relationship between Oprah and Diane Sawyer!
Employees at ABC said that the two of them had "giggly late-night phone cals" and Oprah send Diane extravagant gifts including giant bouquets of orchids and a one-carat diamond toe-ring!
Other sources described a time when Oprah paid an ex-boyfriend $50,000 to keep quiet about her gay brother and her own lesbian affairs! The book also said that she and her current partner Stedman Graham do not share a bedroom.
The other big secret is that Oprah still doesn't know who her father is! Her cousin told Kelley who he is, but made her promise not to publish the information until O's mother tells Oprah the truth!
