This comment is so good. Right! Everybody can't be measured to Oprah-like standards of greatness. Who he is and what he became is enough. It looks like the feeling of "letting her down" has been eating him alive 😞
Lily Krizhevskiy No he was a let down. He could have been more, which is what she wanted for him. And to have an easier life. Now he is what he would have been before she decided to help. She opened more doors for him snd he decided to settle. No he he has to work his ass off just to make ends meet like any other uneducated citizen.
Yea bu why wait damn near 20 years? Im sure he realized his mistake before that. However we dont know how she said “Take care of yourself” she could have said it in a caring tone.
@@theresa8647 Exactly, he was there looking for another handout. Because he is tired of working his ass off as a truck driver. Probally hoping oprah would give him another opportunity. And she said "You be sure to take care of yourself.
Truck driving is a job he isn't robbing and selling drugs besides an dollar don't make a man self respect credibility integrity love for family and self is what makes a man
When she said take care of yourself,that meant,"you should have stayed in school, because I'm not bout to give you any more money,no matter how much I have.
You cannot control someone by sending them to college. He obviously needed some mentoring about life and the importance of education. Sometimes a person is just not ready yet. That's a human flaw. People don't forgive, don't give another chance, but God gives us all chances. God Richly bless the young man and his children.
Basic Truth No one said anything about him being famous. The comment said "he missed the chance of a lifetime" because he quit going to the private school that Oprah paid for. So he missed out on getting a good education. Most people think education is top priority to becoming successful... Did you even watch the video..?!?
Sometimes your action is were your heart is. We can't blame other people for our mistakes yes he was young and he needed someone to guide him she try unfortunately he choose his destiny. And really sad to here that.
She may have changed his schooling/opportunities, but she didn't change his environment. Unfortunately he probably fell victim to the streets right outside his door and unsupportive family members/friends who were probably just jealous of his big shot at being great in this world. You can see the sadness in his eyes in that pic. Calvin if you read this, it's okay, nobody's perfect! This time create your own destiny! How about that *smile* See that's a 2nd chance for yourself:) God Bless.
He was a kid who made a mistake. Glad he's doing well now and he was able to tell her what he'd been holding in for a while. Hopefully it gave him peace.
May the LORD bless you and you're family Mr. Mitchell. School isn't for everybody, and your a truck driver now taking care of a family. You're gesture toward Oprah was kind, and most humble. I'd say you're quite an honorable man. Godspeed ❤
@@demonwaterdemonwater4993 who told you that? Average wage is about 50k and they spend most of their time on the road so not around to raise their own children.
@@codeXenigma nope, truck drivers earn exceptionally well especially if they don't mind life on the road. Also isn't 50k above the nation's per capita income?
Because he suspicious. She could see he was just who he was 18 yrs ago just desperate now. So why would she open herself to that. For a guy like him a'ccess could be fatal for her.
He shouldn't feel bad from growning pains he was 17 and End of the day he's still successful Honest income and raising his childern 💯She should've heard him out and told him she's proud of him and it was God plan 💯 Blessings to him and his family
It's sad to title this oprah son when everyone knows she has no children, she was mentoring him. The rest was up to him. May YHWH bless him & his family
The fact that he wasn't asking for handouts and just wanted to apologize was a good thing. Wished he had taking advantage of that blessing. But things happen. I wish him and his family well
MA O Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!! May all of your dreams come true in "2017." Take one small step everyday towards your dream of becoming a lawyer!!! Peace, Shelly
At least he’s got a job and taking care of his family. That’s what life is all about. Being there for each other. He didn’t turn into the big hot shot but once he has love for his family and is diligently providing for them. He’s got my vote.
Darius Hall blew the chance of going to school on a free ride! He can still try but that's a lot of work, scholarship applications and grants. Sally Mae is always an option but that's not as good as Oprahs option.
Calvin let himself "down" and didn't have the support of his family to finish the education that Oprah was willing to pay for...like even possibly Harvard!!! Such a sad outcome and a wasted opportunity!!!
i 💯%Agree! but ppl do make mistakes tho. [especially young] then grow up & learn from them. especially when reality really strikes & kicks in. but "if" his family woulda just been more supportive mane. finishing what Oprah started. i guess in oprah eyes, u either want it or u dont. and what u choose to do with opportunity will show for itself. she prob help tons of folk out here. and prob dont have time to waste on folk who wasted her efforts & time. good luck tho homie. very important lesson to teach your children.✌
Jezebel1115..doesnt surprise me...alot of black men squander opportunities given to them...that's why so many end up poor..(Past Over Opportunities Repeatedly)=POOR
Jezebel1115 Yesss, absolutely agree. Family dynamics makes a difference in one's success. Had they been supportive the man could've been anything today.
She has helped him enough. It's his fault for not making the most of what was given to him. Although it's nice to see that he is regretful and apologized to Oprah.
99centstoreful right!!! I wish somebody would pay for my college I work 60-80 hours a week. its people like this that get lucky and do something dumb and regret it later. help like that comes once every blue moon!!! he's gonna regret that for the rest of his life!!!!!!
Yeah she begged him to finish school HE WAS 17 he didn’t have too much longer to go! That boy could have been a part of her family had her followed her instructions. His parents failed him
trilaw lawtri I didn't get that impression. My impression is that he has been living with guilt, shame, and regret for many years and wanted to apologize to Oprah because he knows he knows he was wrong.
I could be very wrong, of course. Actually, you could see the pain in his face, that oprah didn't even hug him and actually has a hand up almost as if she is saying 'stop'. I felt sorry for him. But if he was hoping for more, clearly, the look on her face made it clear that Fortune would not smile upon him a second time. It is only my impression, of course, but quite sad.
@P. Brown.....you have to hear oprah's interview about that 'meeting'. She was really angry and said she found out he had gotten help to 'ambush' her from the N.E and Radar Online in front of everyone. She had actually moved the entire family out of the projects and even got a good job for his mother. He had actually dropped out of that great school twice. but she said when he dropped out the 2nd time, she had had enough. It clearly confirmed everything I had said earlier.
trilaw lawtri Oh wow...didn't know that! No wonder she acted that way, it makes sense now! I would've too smh..never bite the hand that feeds you. Sounds like he tried to take her kindness for weakness and took advantage of her and used her, ecspecially if he did it twice!! Shame on him! I don't blame her now.
@ashowers86....Gosh, you could hear the anger, it was restrained, but, Lord, you could hear it. I felt like the guy was looking for something, but several posters kind of chewed my hands off for saying that. So, I begin to look up stuff and I found her interview with Nancy Odell, I think it was. God, she was angry !!! Think how many people would have begged for something like that. Yet, he threw it away with both hands, and didn't even look back......until it was TOO late. But he really tried to put her on the spot and in public. What an idiot !!!
may god continue to bless her for all the good she as done, he made a mistake and now there is no going back, she handled the situation calming and peacefully but that's where it ends, so now having apologized he can move forward with his life with his family.
This is so very unfortunate. The sun is shining on all of us. We don't know the future. It is never too late until it is late. I wish him all the best. All the same, if he did not drop out, i am certain Oprah would have hired him to work in her organisation and used him as a motivational speaker as well. He could have been a household name and so much more. Good luck to him though!
oprah was gonna pay for his college education and he decided not to go and i honestly wonder why? ... smh I would have forced myself to get a doctoral degree with that opportunity. but best of lucky to him and his family. ❤
SlayAnna She have him so many chances and he blew them all.He didn't want to work hard for his future.He probably thought she was going to financially support him for the rest of his life.She clearly thought that he had potential and wanted to help him,but he didn't appreciate it.He got kicked out of at least two private schools that she paid for and wasn't even trying to get better.Imagine how far in life he we could've been in if he just did what he had to do with her in his corner.
Fr?? I gotta watch the video again cause all i heard was that she pakd for his private school and he dropped out...she offered more after he dropped out?? Back to the vid
He let himself down. I hope he pushes his children to take hold and make good use of all great opportunities presented to them. It's a shame that he must now look back on his life with a sense of disappointment, this is unfortunately many people's fate.
REALLY ? HE'S REALLY CONCERN ABOUT LETTING HER DOWN..NAWL WHAT YA NEED BROTHER, BUT AS YOU SEE OPRAH WASN'T HEARING THAT. SHE TOLD HIM TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF....GET IT... SHE KNEW WHAT HE REALLY LOOKED HER UP FOR. SHE DIDN'T GET THIS FAR BY BEING STUPID AND USED.
“Calvin...you just take care of yourself.” GOOD DAY! I’m sure Calvin is STILL kicking himself in THEEE ASS. We’ll never know what opportunities were ahead had he completed ONE TASK...graduating High School.
he was looking for some sympathy, and a quick come up. I wish somebody would have done something that gracious to and for me I would have done Great justice to her and myself. sorry don't bring back that opportunity he hurt himself, her not so much!
Calvin isn't perfect and neither is Oprah, people do make mistakes, and I'm quite sure someone was forgiving to her when she made her mistakes. If he wanted another hand-out from her, he would've been asked her years ago. Back then, he was young and naive and didn't see the importance of his future. At least he has a family of his own, and now understands.
Ah why does the title say Oprah's son she never claimed him as her son. You shouldn't have to have click bait titles but I guess nobody is checking for Inside Edition anymore.
newchick10 He could have been her adopted son! She would how continue to pay for all his school if he had just put in the work! Now I understand why she took her money too Africa and not here with African American kids!
Everybody makes mistakes noones perfect not even Ms. Winfrey it touched me how she just shunned him off like that well sir don't let this get you down you know how you can really apologize it's not what you've tried to say its what can show her by doing better for yourself life is to short to hold grudges for ever my thoughts she's not mad but really hurt
He never forgot what Oprah instilled to him. He is truck driver. That's being productive to society and making a honest living! I'm proud of this young man. He could have went down the wrong road in prison or gangs. But he knew his purpose was greater than that. #Kudos2him #Godblesshisfamily
I bet had he graduated and went to college, Oprah would have hired him at her company or gave him a sick recommendation phonecall to another big company
I agree, he now regrets wasting all those opportunities and was looking for hand outs from Oprah. He blew it and she ain't giving him any more of her hard earned cash to waste. I hate when people waste golden opportunities, so stupid as hell
My brother was was in this movie as well He played Dogman Calvin’s friend in the movie Oprah was very influential in all their lives She’s a great woman
Oprah Winfrey I still feel she is an Angel in this world from the Heavenly Father;We really don't know what Calvin was struggling emotional with in himself.Life goes on it is never too late for Calvin.(My Opinion)
I have no sympathy for this man. You can try and inspire someone to make a difference in their life but you can't make them if they don't see their potential. Although I must say that he was only a teenager and I don't know the circumstances leading up to his drop out.
Sighs college not for everyone. You people act like Oprah is GOD!! Can't take money nor an degree with you when you're dead and gone because death is coming soon!!
I love to read things like this where a wealthy, well known celebrity helps out a regular person. I've met Oprah and I must say she is all together a lovely presence. She has a high level of integrity and there's something about her that just cares. I hope she never loses that ability to connect & care. I do hope she has learned to discern with whom to invest her attention, money & time. I've learned that's the thing The Universe wants us to sharpen: our ability to discern. Especially in matters of the heart, finances, safety & building friendships with the right people. Anyway, meeting Oprah was one of the best days of my life. I didn't need a hand out (thankfully) but I did get to hold her hand for some time. I love my Lady O.
raime M 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hes gonna retreat that decision for the rest of his life now he's a truck driver smh nothing wrong with bring a truck driver but he could have gone far being in that private school. you can see the regret on his face.... smh😐😯😑😦😧😩😩😩
+Dominic Brogsdale What does a private school education guarantee? Absolutely nothing. It doesn't guarantee you specific job training nor does it guarantee you ANY job once you graduate. People send their kids to private school for bragging rights and to keep them away from a certain demographic. NOT because it guarantees that their child will make lots of money once they get out. Furthermore, truck drivers make more money than a lot of folks who walkin around with a $80,000 degree and no job! How is he a failure?? If he wanted, he could save up, buy his own trucks and run his own trucking company.
Robert Combs Jr Wasnt college. It was private school from age 12 until he graduated from highschool. Pay attention. They said he dropped out at age 17. He didnt even finish high school. But im aure she would have paided for college if hjs dumbass would have finished the private school she put him in.
Oprah don't want losers around her. At her age, and with her money, all they gonna do is scheme. He had caught her when she was wide open. Sorry Calvin.
Security Sucks...how did he get that close to her?!?! These celebrities need to beef up their security seriously.....I know there are millions that love and adore and only want to show that, but there are others that are sick & twisted, or just plain confused and will hurt them (obsessed much).
Nobody gone address how they just lied about this being her son in the title of this video 🤔🤔🤔
In real life they lied... I'm reporting Inside edition
😆
LOL!!
Right

You can't let someone down by growing up to be a responsible & decent human being.

Oprah is bitter about it you can tell. She obviously wants nothing to do with him now he ain't one of her minions.

SlayAnna She have him so many chances and he blew them all.He didn't want to work hard for his future.He probably thought she was going to financially support him for the rest of his life.She clearly thought that he had potential and wanted to help him,but he didn't appreciate it.He got kicked out of at least two private schools that she paid for and wasn't even trying to get better.Imagine how far in life he we could've been in if he just did what he had to do with her in his corner.
SlayAnna REAL TALK...OR DO A TRIPLE MAJOR WHY NOT YOU HAVE A MAJOR SPONSOR
He was only 17.
Fr?? I gotta watch the video again cause all i heard was that she pakd for his private school and he dropped out...she offered more after he dropped out??
Back to the vid
It's too late for an apology,just continue to be a truck driver my brother,
It's never too late to apologise...If it at all being true that's all he wanted.
Luleka Sakwe 😂😂😂😂😂
Akamxolele bantu
She still loves you no matter what you still making an honest living God is good
Truck driver can up 300k per yr and more with self-employment opportunities.
Dang it Calvin, you wldve been in a different place ma dude...
Truth-Seeker right
Truth-Seeker right SMH😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 you can see that regret on his face
no one cares once your 35 buddy lol
Candyman Too damn old
LMAO!
@@lionelkennedy1394 lol washed at that point
Not true
lmao!!
He let himself down. I hope he pushes his children to take hold and make good use of all great opportunities presented to them. It's a shame that he must now look back on his life with a sense of disappointment, this is unfortunately many people's fate.
wow I really thank the Lord for my MOTHER a real MOTHER.
REALLY ? HE'S REALLY CONCERN ABOUT LETTING HER DOWN..NAWL WHAT YA NEED BROTHER, BUT AS YOU SEE OPRAH WASN'T HEARING THAT. SHE TOLD HIM TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF....GET IT... SHE KNEW WHAT HE REALLY LOOKED HER UP FOR. SHE DIDN'T GET THIS FAR BY BEING STUPID AND USED.
Queen T I agree with you 100%!!!
rdokoye Even if that's the case, he doesn't deserve another handout.
rdokoye I didn’t c her crying over that 😂😂😂
On point
“Calvin...you just take care of yourself.”
GOOD DAY!
I’m sure Calvin is STILL kicking himself in THEEE ASS. We’ll never know what opportunities were ahead had he completed ONE TASK...graduating High School.
he was looking for some sympathy, and a quick come up. I wish somebody would have done something that gracious to and for me I would have done Great justice to her and myself. sorry don't bring back that opportunity he hurt himself, her not so much!
prettyslim2010 i
Well said
You know I should offer people soda more often😂
😂😂
A squandered opportunity, she handed it to you and you blew it buddy.
Calvin isn't perfect and neither is Oprah, people do make mistakes, and I'm quite sure someone was forgiving to her when she made her mistakes. If he wanted another hand-out from her, he would've been asked her years ago. Back then, he was young and naive and didn't see the importance of his future.
At least he has a family of his own, and now understands.
Thank you!!!
He just woke up and yes, looking for a hand out. He bad news. Seem he done did time too.
@@patriciarambert9261 .
Ah why does the title say Oprah's son she never claimed him as her son. You shouldn't have to have click bait titles but I guess nobody is checking for Inside Edition anymore.
newchick10 to get u to watch it and get views lol lol.....youtube the biggest pimp in the game rite now lol
ouch!
Quotation marks, stupid.
newchick10 it's a click bait
newchick10 He could have been her adopted son! She would how continue to pay for all his school if he had just put in the work! Now I understand why she took her money too Africa and not here with African American kids!
Everybody makes mistakes noones perfect not even Ms. Winfrey it touched me how she just shunned him off like that well sir don't let this get you down you know how you can really apologize it's not what you've tried to say its what can show her by doing better for yourself life is to short to hold grudges for ever my thoughts she's not mad but really hurt
Oprah probably say I gave you opportunity and you blew it now you have 2 kids you what me to take care of.
👎
Bruh missed the greatest bus ride in his lifetime
Arnette Anthony
Now he had a lifetime of truck drives waiting for him.
"Welp! That's one failed assignment in America. Towards the Black male community. Let me go help the orphan girls in Africa."
He never forgot what Oprah instilled to him. He is truck driver. That's being productive to society and making a honest living! I'm proud of this young man. He could have went down the wrong road in prison or gangs. But he knew his purpose was greater than that. #Kudos2him #Godblesshisfamily
I bet had he graduated and went to college, Oprah would have hired him at her company or gave him a sick recommendation phonecall to another big company
He's an idiot
@@jetblackhair92 he just did what he wanted to do
He wasted it 😩
bro u messed up
If he was wanting to apologize then why wait 20 some yrs to do it unless he wanted something out of it?
Yea cause everyone has oprahs address & can stop by at free will.... Use your head instead of judging.
I agree, he now regrets wasting all those opportunities and was looking for hand outs from Oprah. He blew it and she ain't giving him any more of her hard earned cash to waste. I hate when people waste golden opportunities, so stupid as hell
Yeah! Thats how long it takes to meet her.
Turned Around hard earned... REALLY!?
My brother was was in this movie as well
He played Dogman
Calvin’s friend in the movie
Oprah was very influential in all their lives
She’s a great woman
Hey, i dont know if you knew it, but Calvin died.. not sure of the date, and how he died tho 😔
Oprah Winfrey I still feel she is an Angel in this world from the Heavenly Father;We really don't know what Calvin was struggling emotional with in himself.Life goes on it is never too late for Calvin.(My Opinion)
Barb Cat !Thank You Very much May God Bless You Too;Your Statement to me was not harsh...
Ennovy Gallagher
Ennovy Gallagher yours is one of the best comments I've read in this section
Ennovy Gallagher Except it is too late
I have no sympathy for this man. You can try and inspire someone to make a difference in their life but you can't make them if they don't see their potential. Although I must say that he was only a teenager and I don't know the circumstances leading up to his drop out.
If only it took money and a private schooling to make a good citizens?
Fidelity Quester so true
Sighs college not for everyone. You people act like Oprah is GOD!! Can't take money nor an degree with you when you're dead and gone because death is coming soon!!
Teenager? That's the best time to take advantage of opportunities, later than that, you only have regrets. Like he did.
He has no one to blame but himself.
I love to read things like this where a wealthy, well known celebrity helps out a regular person. I've met Oprah and I must say she is all together a lovely presence. She has a high level of integrity and there's something about her that just cares. I hope she never loses that ability to connect & care. I do hope she has learned to discern with whom to invest her attention, money & time. I've learned that's the thing The Universe wants us to sharpen: our ability to discern. Especially in matters of the heart, finances, safety & building friendships with the right people. Anyway, meeting Oprah was one of the best days of my life. I didn't need a hand out (thankfully) but I did get to hold her hand for some time. I love my Lady O.
Who created the BS headline?? She helped him. He came and had to deal with a scene. He should have requested a private meeting.
What about his real mother?? Did he not let her down??
This Proves that She didn’t have to have a child of her own to know how it feels to have one disappoint you.
Disgusting comment how pathetic. Some people shouldn't be parents. A chiiiiiiiiild disappointed you???!?!!!
The title is misleading! That isn't her son!
That's why son is in quotes.
Duh!!! OMG I didn't even pay that any attention! My bad!
He called paps & cameras & they paid for him to fly to New York to ambush her on camera 😂😂
A perfect example of "no good deed goes unpunished".
You big dummy. (Fred Sanford voice)
raime M 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hes gonna retreat that decision for the rest of his life now he's a truck driver smh nothing wrong with bring a truck driver but he could have gone far being in that private school. you can see the regret on his face.... smh😐😯😑😦😧😩😩😩
+Dominic Brogsdale What does a private school education guarantee? Absolutely nothing. It doesn't guarantee you specific job training nor does it guarantee you ANY job once you graduate. People send their kids to private school for bragging rights and to keep them away from a certain demographic. NOT because it guarantees that their child will make lots of money once they get out. Furthermore, truck drivers make more money than a lot of folks who walkin around with a $80,000 degree and no job! How is he a failure?? If he wanted, he could save up, buy his own trucks and run his own trucking company.
Bahahahaha! @ Raime M
LOL! :)
Jessica Heller I like ur positivity
He is short with cash please Oprah I want some more
smh...someone gives you a full ride to college..and you blow it....not very smart..
Robert Combs Jr Wasnt college. It was private school from age 12 until he graduated from highschool. Pay attention. They said he dropped out at age 17. He didnt even finish high school. But im aure she would have paided for college if hjs dumbass would have finished the private school she put him in.
She understood that you can't save everyone and he is a perfect example of that. Sorry Calvin, you missed your beat.
Oprah wanted him to feel show she felt when he blew her off. It musta hurt.
he passed away sometime afterwards 😔
Damn that’s all she had to say... at least he’s taking care of himself and his children. She’s something else... Nice to see he grew up
why do they call this guy Oprah's son in the video title. i see they also put quotes around 'son' but thats a long way to go for clickbait
koilk He played her son in the movie
koilk she son'd him , treated him like her son paud for his schooling. so its not really clickbait on this one
he probably thought she would help him out again while he play that innocent I'm sorry role
Paparoc _ no no no no MO MO ml nzor bun no more by AM pox
Oprah don't want losers around her. At her age, and with her money, all they gonna do is scheme. He had caught her when she was wide open. Sorry Calvin.
the guy just need a dough from oprah...
That is NOT her son!!!!
Just shows what a big heart she has helping so many people that we dont even reaize.
And yet snowflakes wanna cancel her
This aged like milk
He came to "apologize" yes, if apologize = get some money...
yoyo 😂😂😂😂
That is very Touching. Oprah Winfrey is Amazing that was Wonderful to Help a Child in Need. I never knew that. Very Beautiful!!!
he was like what? she billionaire.!!. let me go try to say sorry. and see if i can come up with some millions.
Who came up with this title? Really!!!!!
Nicole Davis wtf
god give meat for does who dont have teeth.the brother lost the train

Calvin Mitchell. God Bless 🙏🏻
You have much more than she does. You have a family! That's priceless 😊
most ppl would kill for an opportunity like the one she offered him.
He was young and made a stupid mistake which he has to live with
RIP sofia right!!!!!! you can see the regret on his face he could have gone far with that education!!!
Dominic Brogsdale
indeed...i use to tell my kids that when in my dying bed, my only wish would be to meet ophra...😅
“Calvin, you just take care of yourself”
Lesson learned as she politely wants nothing to do with him 👍🏾
Who else think he just wanted some money 😅
😩💀
I litterly just met Calvin in Chicago. One of the most genuine dudes I've met in a long time
So. He genuinely didn't need her then so why now?
@@patriciarambert9261 He's my Cousin and he's no longer living.
@@kingmitchell8209 what happened to him?
Security Sucks...how did he get that close to her?!?! These celebrities need to beef up their security seriously.....I know there are millions that love and adore and only want to show that, but there are others that are sick & twisted, or just plain confused and will hurt them (obsessed much).
Good on Ophra,move on with your life
he probably had a mixtape for her
CTFU
👎
He looked liked he had a mixtape in 98
Man up Calvin, you don't need Oprah.
ugh..click bait!! should have known
sometime we only get one chance, the rest is history.
