Her father and his wife threatened to do a tell all book when Oprah was in the process of evicting them from the house she owned. He alluded to her and Gail being intimate and that Stedman was a prop. After that Oprah halted the eviction. The way she said the word lesbian with such emphasis and saying she would never entertain that lifestyle when she revered Mya Angelou who was definitely lesbian. She gushed on her like the sunshine and the moon rose and set on her. Oprah refuses to give up her seat in the closet but soon enough the receipts will be shown and she will have a hard time trying to clean up her denial.
Why is it so difficult for some people to understand, that it is possible for same sex people to have a deep abiding love for each other, that does not involve sex.
Oprah is the CEO and chairman of a network, which is her own network (no pun intended :)). She is the media. How would it hurt her to admit she's gay? So many celebs and people are out. It's 2015!
Don't tell me what I think or presume. Your grammar is horrible. I understand what you said, I'm saying its not the case. I argued against it. And won.
@@mikehunt8247 Okay, I hear you. But explain to me how your judgement works when she broke down to the whole world she isn’t lesbian? Not even a tiny bit lesbian? And also that she wouldn’t hide such a thing if it were true? You want the rumours to be true, so much so that your mind convinces you it is. That’s a dangerous way to ‘judge’ things.
@@GlossaME They would've ran her out of Hollywood, NBC, Chicago, New York, etc, if she dropped the ball on that. The CEO's, Presidents, and Executives would've treated her much worse than the way Hollywood, network TV, Media, and Social Media has treated Ellen DeGeneres. I have alot of respect for people with integrity, and that have the courage to not hide their lifestyle from their loved ones, their fans, and the world. I do not expect anyone to tell me how they live. I don't have disrespect for those that decide to not come out. I get it. They can do what they want in their own comfort zone.

I wish so much I had a best friend like that. I have often prayed for that kind of love and care from a good friend. The majority of the world foolishly associates such things with being gay because they don't know nor have come to realize that humans were created to get along and love each other in genuineness. Yet because of imperfection and sin, its almost impossible to find such endearing bonds without strife, jealousy, speculation etc. It's like describing color to a blind person...they don't understand. The same way humans are less and less understanding what being a real friend involves.

You are Soo right..I'm from Baton Rouge La. I have zero friends here.

I was going to say, "Well okay, she's not gay. That doesn't mean she's not bi-sexual." However, after hearing her response, I'm convinced she's not gay at all. If she was she would have no problem saying it at all. And she does not stupidly think gay people are anything to be ashamed of. She loves all people, like everyone should. So yeah, she's not gay. No biggie anyway.

Hotties3v3n: I think it's because the highly sensitive Oprah was so moved thinking about the wonder of their friendship. People can be ultra-close without sex or romance. I know because I have a group of lovely friendships like the one Oprah has with Gayle.
hotties3v3n I believe Oprah is telling the truth that she is not GAY. This cruel assumption from people is to be expected from cruel people and if she is lesbian it none of anyone's business. Her friend could be a true friend and if that is so she is a lucky lady because in this world if you find a true friend then you are blessed and lucky. Oprah looks on Gail as a Mother Sister Friend.
OMG who really cares, I have enough going on in my own life I couldn't possibly care one way or another! I care about the people I love not who Oprah loves, or does not love.
So many years later and people are still wondering if Oprah and Gayle are "in a relationship." Does it matter? I can think of about 2.9 billion reasons why Oprah really couldn't care less what people think of her. Keep on living your BEST life, sister!
I love your reply bless you for that I see something in you.... You have a calling on your life you are destined for something great I see it through you I see the light that shines through your smile picture every time I see you're are on that Oprah the legend ball talking about Patti LaBelle I had to tell you this you have a calling only you should know the answer for that and whatever it is you should do it and don't be afraid because God I got your back I have no idea what it is but you know great things will come to you....
wOw!! pat gorden All I can say is THANK YOU! It's always a pleasure to come across someone (especially on the Internet) with grace and inspiration. I'm constantly working on being the best woman I can be. I know that God will see me through, He will guide me. Again, thank you for making me smile and reminding me that I have a calling on this journey called life. Be blessed! xo
@@zimtheinvaderofficial she explained why she cried. She said she had never told Gayle how she was the mother or sister she never had and she just realized how much she appreciated her in that moment. If she was gay, like Oprah herself said, why would she hide it?! It's not like everyone would turn on her if she was gay, it's 2020 ffs no one cares if you're gay. She says she's not a lesbian and for people like you to keep insisting she is, is harassment, stop it!
You're right. It choked her. Hence the tears. Good friends great n we close etc but never rumours n there evidence is in front of you here. She ALL BUT SAYS IT IN WORDS. Her body language screams it. Shes too career driven..bottom line..EGO!
Poor Steadman. I wonder how much Oprah pays him to pretend to be her hubby. I have never seen a relationship with less chemistry. They don't seem to have anything in common, they don't even seem to know or like each other that well.
I do feel like this was taken a little out of context, and people who have been in the interview/talk show business for a very long time, like Barbara, should know better. They made it seem as though Oprah got emotional immediately after Barbara brought up Gayle, meanwhile in the full interview they had been talking about Gayle and Oprah's emotions were understandably building up. I've never believed they were romantically involved because my best friend and I are actually part of the LGBT, and although EVERYONE and their mother thinks we are together, we are not lol I feel for Oprah, it must be exhausting having to deal with those rumors for years...she handles it well!
Unfortunately she just declares she's gay! She's in intimate relationship with Gayle for very long time. She said she was lying, she didn't want come out of closet! She's admitted.
I don't care if they are or not!!!! What difference would it make for me or anybody else!!!? What they do or don't do is them and their life. Jus don't push it on society if they are!!!
@@4everfaithful32 you can't comment on someone's personality unless you know them personally. You don't know her behind closed doors and how she treat people. You just know what she is paid to do on screen.
@@angelminaj617 I can, and I did. She also has never had a scandal in all the years she has been on television. She may run an agenda on some things, but she doesn't do it with spite. This woman spends more time on tv and in meetings than she probably ever does "behind closed doors" meaning her home, that she shares with her dogs. If you don't think much of her..dont watch her
@@4everfaithful32 i don't watch her. And even if I did wtf that got to do with what I said? You are assuming that she is a great person by what you see on a television. You are no better than a 5 year old child
Thats sad that people have so little good friends that they love and that they can trust that they cant understand someone who has found an amazing friendship that will last forever.....
Barbara was so great with sensitive Oprah...I love how in 3:52, she has great empathy for Oprah's post-retirement fears. Oprah's extroverted, bubbly, charismatic and bold, so it's easy for many people to overlook her high sensitivity. It's nice to see that Barbara understood Oprah's special trait underneath that booming, outgoing personality. www.google.com/amp/s/www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sense-and-sensitivity/201408/how-cope-highly-sensitive-extrovert%3famp
A classic case of a lesbian in denial. I had rarely heard of Stedman Graham, and didn't even know who he was until 2009. He's very much a professional sweetheart known to mainly to those who follow her the most. Not even description of their relationship on the Internet, which have helped. This occasional Oprah watcher never even heard of Stedman until 2009. The start of their "relationship" was in tandem with the debut of her show in 1986.
So fucking what if they rubbing clitoris how does that make ur miserable life any better? Focus on making ur money. They rich ur broke ass need to stay focus on paying ur Bill's.
what a powerful statement "why would you want to hide it?!". I think this is a great and meaningful thing she could say because it says to the gay community that you can be proud to be open about your sexuality and it shouldn't be taboo! no need to hide in the closet!
Why would she want to hide it? Because in the 80s, it was groundbreaking enough to become a successful black woman on TV as her own boss, with a huge popular base of white suburban women. As an out lesbian, it couldn't have happened then. THAT is why. Yes, Ellen has broken that barrier, but that is now. Oprah is forced to stick to her narrative; she cannot tell her adoring fans, "You are so uptight and narrow-minded, I had to deceive you."
A Krenwinkle i am aware of her situation and the mentalities during her rise, there are struggles. But i dont believe oprah is a lesbian (even as of now with the acceptance to homosexuals) as she makes it clear, she wouldnt hide it and address it all the time as though it's shameful to be homosexual, but yet if she was, she would be proud and say she was. as should all homosexuals should be.
Listen, "If I were, I wouldn't hide it, I would tell the world," is not new, it is old. Ed Koch, the mayor of New York, used to say it decades ago. But he couldn't have been elected if openly gay. That was not his fault. He was gay and everyone knew it, and didn't care as long as he lied about it. It is a distraction, but some people- good people with high ideals- don't understand more the more crafty types. Oprah had to do what she did to be a black female billionaire, and for that, I don't blame her. But this is 2014, not 1984.
The Gay community ?? LOOK - plain and simple - GAY is a sexuality - IT is not a life style - IT is not a club - IT is not a community - IT is a SEXUALITY - and unless you are a nymphomaniac - how could it be your life style. Most people that are gay are the same anyone else (dare I say heterosexuals). Straight people don't announce their sexuality, and because someone choses to keep their sexual preference (personal) to themselves, and not announce it doesn't mean they are ashamed. It's no body's business. And hiding in the closet ( the expression in the closet) - means you are not out to your family. It doesn't mean telling the WORLD !!!
Oprah my beautiful sister and Queen. Just be happy and never stop: loving, sharing, caring and being the beautiful human being you are. It doesn't matter what the world say my sister. You and i know love is the answer.
Allegedly, I believe that the rumors are true somewhat. I don't believe she's 100% Lesbian. I believe she's slept with Gayle maybe once or twice "alledgedly" and that was the end of their curiosity. They decided to remain "best friends!!!!! Alledgedly. Disclaimer: Please don't sue me,......
Because she never really loved her mother. When her parents got divorced she paid for her father's lawyer. Most children stay out of their parents business. Especially when she found out her mother had another daughter. Why would you put your mother on national TV right after that her mother had a stroke. a couple months later she died.smfh that tells you how she feels about her mother.
Oprah shares so many of the same values as Lady Diana. Even though they have wildly different personalities, they both share the same traits of high sensitivity and deep compassion for others. And they both were tender-hearted and cried so, so easily.
@@queenmitchell-km4lh: Yeh, Oprah has done lots for them. But then again, so has Diana...they both are fine humanitarians, despite their differing outward personalities.
So fucking what if they rubbing clitoris how does that make ur miserable life any better? Focus on making ur money. They rich ur broke ass need to stay focus on paying ur Bill's.
I still maintain that there is more than she claims between her and Gayle. She may choose to characterize her relationship as something other than Gay but I will always believe that there has been and is physical love between her and Ms. King.
thedbq Nope. I posted my opinion and was attacked for it. I wasn't rude. I did not call the woman any names nor do I have any desire to continue this conversation. You disagree with my assessment? Duly noted..
I had a close friend at work we where close it was me and her going everywhere, laughing at everything, eating together, sitting together that's how we girls are, when we find someone that we get along and trust and go shopping together we call each other she tells me her problems and I tell her mine, but ever since I left the job we don't talk like we used to, but we still friends. People needs to mind their business, she don't own anyone no explanation, when you pay her bills then.. like my mother used to say you mind your business, and let people mind theirs...
+Whatevs Whtevr: It shows the deep compassion Barbara has for Oprah. Oprah went through a rather stressful time from around 1997 through about 2009 and it drained her.
I cry like this about my cousin/ sister and my best friend. I'm an only child and she treats me like a sister. I'm not that close with any other female.
you will find it hard to find a true friend when you are on top. you don't know who is true and who isn't. Oprah cries about her friend because she's lucky to know the truth of having a real friend. the reason why no one can understand this is because they never had a true friend, just acquaintances. when you talk about a true friend to you honor on a program such a Barbara Walters you take the opportunity to let everyone know how lucky you are to have such a person in her life. by the way life is too painful when living out a relationship with someone u don't love. so in saying that if she's with stedman its because they are in love.
Or maybe a lot of people who say these bad things haven't had as traumatic a life as she has had to be able to understand what an absolute MIRACLE! it is to find someone(friend or lover) who is like a 'twin soul' to you. A lot of people don;t know what it's like to not be fully loved or understood and then to grow up and cross paths with another human being who really gets who you are; it can be like a gift from the Heavens.
***** well Jimbo, even their history shows equality. they met when they were on the same level. oprah was a news anchor and Gayle was a producer. their friendship is 35 years old. so Gayle met oprah before she was anyone special. they met on the same boat of success. in saying all this i don't think Gayle was Oprah friend for the anymore than what it was.
methylphosphatePOET ramona didn't make the 'fat black woman ' statement. It was one of the other commenters under ramona's post. He's the idiot that made those comments! Just wanted you to know so you could address the right guy. ', )
Oprah is a queen, she has contributed so much to many many many people, her private life is her private life. It's a blessing to me to see her bless somany other people, I pray that God continue to use her to enlightened many and that she endeavor to continue properity...!!!!
I don't believe she's gay. I just believe she's too strong a character and such people just have a harder time getting attached....coz finding the right partner to compliment you with such a strong character is just hard....
Oprah you are my hero... I salute You indefinitely... I love you no less if you are or not.. Its your business..if you are happy then thats all that matters.. Life is short, you have worked hard... You deserve your privacy!! Let no one in but the pple you choose... Stedman you are awesome, you know why...keep the gates closed forever...i thank you for making my hero HAPPY☺..... THANK YOU..

You have a calling on your life you are destined for something great I see it through you I see the light that shines through your smile picture every time I see you're are on that Oprah the legend ball talking about Patti LaBelle I had to tell you this you have a calling only you should know the answer for that and whatever it is you should do it and don't be afraid because God I got your back I have no idea what it is but you know great things will come to you....
wOw!! pat gorden All I can say is THANK YOU! It's always a pleasure to come across someone (especially on the Internet) with grace and inspiration. I'm constantly working on being the best woman I can be. I know that God will see me through, He will guide me. Again, thank you for making me smile and reminding me that I have a calling on this journey called life. Be blessed! xo
April Rhodes god see the favor and you
she wanted to admit it
You are a fuckin idiot
Shes in denial otherwise she wouldn't be crying
@@zimtheinvaderofficial she explained why she cried. She said she had never told Gayle how she was the mother or sister she never had and she just realized how much she appreciated her in that moment. If she was gay, like Oprah herself said, why would she hide it?! It's not like everyone would turn on her if she was gay, it's 2020 ffs no one cares if you're gay. She says she's not a lesbian and for people like you to keep insisting she is, is harassment, stop it!
@@srso4660 then why has she never had a man she is rich and famous
You're right. It choked her. Hence the tears. Good friends great n we close etc but never rumours n there evidence is in front of you here. She ALL BUT SAYS IT IN WORDS. Her body language screams it. Shes too career driven..bottom line..EGO!
She really can click into the woman tear mode in the blink of an eye, so rapidly!
I saw her do it for gayle yesterday
Dont forget shes an actress, like literally.
She's a total fake. Ask Gayle.
A la Meghan Markle
Poor Steadman. I wonder how much Oprah pays him to pretend to be her hubby. I have never seen a relationship with less chemistry. They don't seem to have anything in common, they don't even seem to know or like each other that well.
Huge compliment to Gayle. How lovely to have a friend like that in your life.
She can't even say Lesbian in a straight way.
You are so wrong for this 🤣🤣🤣
She “old school gay” she’s taking that to the grave. Then we’ll get the tell all book. Like Whitney and her lover...
@@ANGIE.Love91 who was Whitney’s lover?
I am not even kind of lesbian. That part kills me. Lol.
Manuel Enrique I think she was meaning bisexual. Just a guess.
everybody knew that Oprah was gay, she tried to cover it when she marry that business man, give me a brake
Everybody?
I had a friend like that once and one of the two came up , one of us was in love with each other .
Everything she said described the perfect lover.
Haha
OPRAH you made tears come to my eyes. I love you
OMG! "What difference does it make?" She's a beautiful soul...
I do feel like this was taken a little out of context, and people who have been in the interview/talk show business for a very long time, like Barbara, should know better. They made it seem as though Oprah got emotional immediately after Barbara brought up Gayle, meanwhile in the full interview they had been talking about Gayle and Oprah's emotions were understandably building up. I've never believed they were romantically involved because my best friend and I are actually part of the LGBT, and although EVERYONE and their mother thinks we are together, we are not lol I feel for Oprah, it must be exhausting having to deal with those rumors for years...she handles it well!
Unfortunately she just declares she's gay! She's in intimate relationship with Gayle for very long time. She said she was lying, she didn't want come out of closet! She's admitted.
Why are y’all so damn nosy
Thank you😂
And you are here because..... ?
@@teew2982 we thought she was gonna reveal it but she really did not. Its personal.
The good friend thing is a cover they are definitely lovers.
Yup! They’re fucking!
So fucking what if they rubbing clitoris how does that make ur miserable life any better?
Spam Email no they are not
@@oleskool4908 ikr, everyone needs to be worry about them Own life's
I don't care if they are or not!!!! What difference would it make for me or anybody else!!!? What they do or don't do is them and their life. Jus don't push it on society if they are!!!
XD I LOVE HOW she says TISSUE PLEASE (I WILL FIRE YOU AND BUY YOUR FAMILY)
Lmao
That was funny, I thought she was going to say stop the cameras!
+Charmbelle702:
Me too and I thought she was going to start absolutely howling with sobs.
Lol
It bothers me how people talk about such an inspiring, kind, open and honest woman. She literally has a heart of gold.
Is she really or is that your assumption?
@@angelminaj617 she certainly has displayed that over many years.
@@4everfaithful32 you can't comment on someone's personality unless you know them personally. You don't know her behind closed doors and how she treat people. You just know what she is paid to do on screen.
@@angelminaj617 I can, and I did. She also has never had a scandal in all the years she has been on television. She may run an agenda on some things, but she doesn't do it with spite. This woman spends more time on tv and in meetings than she probably ever does "behind closed doors" meaning her home, that she shares with her dogs. If you don't think much of her..dont watch her
@@4everfaithful32 i don't watch her. And even if I did wtf that got to do with what I said? You are assuming that she is a great person by what you see on a television. You are no better than a 5 year old child
Thats sad that people have so little good friends that they love and that they can trust that they cant understand someone who has found an amazing friendship that will last forever.....
Barbara was so great with sensitive Oprah...I love how in 3:52, she has great empathy for Oprah's post-retirement fears.
Oprah's extroverted, bubbly, charismatic and bold, so it's easy for many people to overlook her high sensitivity.
It's nice to see that Barbara understood Oprah's special trait underneath that booming, outgoing personality.

A classic case of a lesbian in denial. I had rarely heard of Stedman Graham, and didn't even know who he was until 2009. He's very much a professional sweetheart known to mainly to those who follow her the most. Not even description of their relationship on the Internet, which have helped. This occasional Oprah watcher never even heard of Stedman until 2009. The start of their "relationship" was in tandem with the debut of her show in 1986.
When i was growing up Oprah was one of my favorite actresses...i dnt do her anymore...but still...she’s a great actress...💅🏾
That’s between her and God not me.
Do u know god hhh western people live dirty life never be happy..
Ur right Tasha, most defending Oprah becuz they are d same, got shit in their mouths becuz they licking asses.
So fucking what if they rubbing clitoris how does that make ur miserable life any better? Focus on making ur money. They rich ur broke ass need to stay focus on paying ur Bill's.
Truthful4ever 😂😂😂😂😂 You’re right about that. People should leave God out of their bullshit.
My aunties name is Tasha Johnson-
I love this interview because it generates great memes she's really funny in it
what a powerful statement "why would you want to hide it?!". I think this is a great and meaningful thing she could say because it says to the gay community that you can be proud to be open about your sexuality and it shouldn't be taboo! no need to hide in the closet!
Why would she want to hide it? Because in the 80s, it was groundbreaking enough to become a successful black woman on TV as her own boss, with a huge popular base of white suburban women. As an out lesbian, it couldn't have happened then. THAT is why. Yes, Ellen has broken that barrier, but that is now. Oprah is forced to stick to her narrative; she cannot tell her adoring fans, "You are so uptight and narrow-minded, I had to deceive you."
A Krenwinkle i am aware of her situation and the mentalities during her rise, there are struggles. But i dont believe oprah is a lesbian (even as of now with the acceptance to homosexuals) as she makes it clear, she wouldnt hide it and address it all the time as though it's shameful to be homosexual, but yet if she was, she would be proud and say she was. as should all homosexuals should be.
Listen, "If I were, I wouldn't hide it, I would tell the world," is not new, it is old. Ed Koch, the mayor of New York, used to say it decades ago. But he couldn't have been elected if openly gay. That was not his fault. He was gay and everyone knew it, and didn't care as long as he lied about it. It is a distraction, but some people- good people with high ideals- don't understand more the more crafty types. Oprah had to do what she did to be a black female billionaire, and for that, I don't blame her. But this is 2014, not 1984.
Well said.
The Gay community ?? LOOK - plain and simple - GAY is a sexuality - IT is not a life style - IT is not a club - IT is not a community - IT is a SEXUALITY - and unless you are a nymphomaniac - how could it be your life style. Most people that are gay are the same anyone else (dare I say heterosexuals). Straight people don't announce their sexuality, and because someone choses to keep their sexual preference (personal) to themselves, and not announce it doesn't mean they are ashamed. It's no body's business. And hiding in the closet ( the expression in the closet) - means you are not out to your family. It doesn't mean telling the WORLD !!!
Darling Oprah...so sensitive. So full of strength, bubbly and ougoing, yet *cries* so easily.
Oprah the champion crier.
Oprahs eyebrow game on point!
Oprah my beautiful sister and Queen. Just be happy and never stop: loving, sharing, caring and being the beautiful human being you are. It doesn't matter what the world say my sister. You and i know love is the answer.
Allegedly, I believe that the rumors are true somewhat. I don't believe she's 100% Lesbian. I believe she's slept with Gayle maybe once or twice "alledgedly" and that was the end of their curiosity. They decided to remain "best friends!!!!! Alledgedly. Disclaimer: Please don't sue me,......
When she asked for tissue. I thought GAYLE was gonna appear out of nowhere and lean down to let OPRAH WIPE HER SNOT ON HER SHIRT.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how come someone that is your age could be like your mother!
Because she never really loved her mother. When her parents got divorced she paid for her father's lawyer. Most children stay out of their parents business. Especially when she found out her mother had another daughter. Why would you put your mother on national TV right after that her mother had a stroke. a couple months later she died.smfh that tells you how she feels about her mother.
oprah's eyebrows lovely
I was thinking the SAME thing! lol
CHInHa Hwin whathe
Makeup
Pimple poppers
+Grace P Hwin:
Agreed. And I love how they sometimes slant when she cries hard or worries.
Such an expressive, sweet, round face.
I want to be the kind of friend who someone would be able to describe that way. That is truly touching.
I feel the same way about my best friend.
Oprah shares so many of the same values as Lady Diana.
Even though they have wildly different personalities, they both share the same traits of high sensitivity and deep compassion for others.
And they both were tender-hearted and cried so, so easily.
Are you kidding after everything she has done to other people and those Africa children
@@queenmitchell-km4lh:
Yeh, Oprah has done lots for them.
But then again, so has Diana...they both are fine humanitarians, despite their differing outward personalities.
1:09 That gasp and pregnant pause say everything!
So fucking what if they rubbing clitoris how does that make ur miserable life any better? Focus on making ur money. They rich ur broke ass need to stay focus on paying ur Bill's.
oprah is a good actress..🤭
...an excellent actress...💯
She gets paid the big bucks to make us believe anything so yes she is a really really good actress if you know what I mean😜
But why doesnt she just come out??
I still maintain that there is more than she claims between her and Gayle. She may choose to characterize her relationship as something other than Gay but I will always believe that there has been and is physical love between her and Ms. King.
You are very shallow
dano Uh huh, and since You know her personally You know that my claim is baseless. Call me shallow, but at least I'm not delusional.
galen stone umm...sooo....YOU know her personally?
thedbq Nope. I posted my opinion and was attacked for it. I wasn't rude. I did not call the woman any names nor do I have any desire to continue this conversation. You disagree with my assessment? Duly noted..
galen stone you're right
I had a close friend at work we where close it was me and her going everywhere, laughing at everything, eating together, sitting together that's how we girls are, when we find someone that we get along and trust and go shopping together we call each other she tells me her problems and I tell her mine, but ever since I left the job we don't talk like we used to, but we still friends. People needs to mind their business, she don't own anyone no explanation, when you pay her bills then.. like my mother used to say you mind your business, and let people mind theirs...
Thank you Ophra for speaking out.
I absolutely love what Oprah said about Gayle ❤️
I’m not leshbian either Oprah 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LIAR 👖on 🔥
"I think it's because she's exhausted." LOL😂😂😂😂
+Whatevs Whtevr:
It shows the deep compassion Barbara has for Oprah.
Oprah went through a rather stressful time from around 1997 through about 2009 and it drained her.
We all deserve that one close friend that’s loyal, trustworthy, respectful, honest & fun to be around. ❤️👯♀️💯
1:10 that pause tho
She was in tears before the question even came out 😂
Whys that???
It’s funny how she ceased to think what to say about gayle but when the rumors question was approached, she immediately responded
That is a beautiful friendship..
Ain't no telling what she dealing with anyway. In the end, it's her choice.
Well said.
Well her and Gayle get along to good to be in a relationship.
lol
Wow. Sadly, you are right! But actually it's so easy to not feel like arguing when you have more money than the pope.
And oprah still 1000x richer than you
+van chi yes....😊👍👍👍
note2owns i bet u are hetero... hetero no clue at all
Nicely done
I have a friend who is more my sister. I can’t believe how many people think we are a couple. We just laugh about and life goes on
She's... *everything* to her.
I like Barbara Walters voice, it makes me sleepy
They have a beautiful friendship
I cry like this about my cousin/ sister and my best friend. I'm an only child and she treats me like a sister. I'm not that close with any other female.
you will find it hard to find a true friend when you are on top. you don't know who is true and who isn't. Oprah cries about her friend because she's lucky to know the truth of having a real friend. the reason why no one can understand this is because they never had a true friend, just acquaintances. when you talk about a true friend to you honor on a program such a Barbara Walters you take the opportunity to let everyone know how lucky you are to have such a person in her life. by the way life is too painful when living out a relationship with someone u don't love. so in saying that if she's with stedman its because they are in love.
Or maybe a lot of people who say these bad things haven't had as traumatic a life as she has had to be able to understand what an absolute MIRACLE! it is to find someone(friend or lover) who is like a 'twin soul' to you. A lot of people don;t know what it's like to not be fully loved or understood and then to grow up and cross paths with another human being who really gets who you are; it can be like a gift from the Heavens.
Du Moore
exactly, thank you. its so sad that not alot of people have never experience this so when they see it they think lesbian.
Exactly!
***** well Jimbo, even their history shows equality. they met when they were on the same level. oprah was a news anchor and Gayle was a producer. their friendship is 35 years old. so Gayle met oprah before she was anyone special. they met on the same boat of success. in saying all this i don't think Gayle was Oprah friend for the anymore than what it was.
methylphosphatePOET ramona didn't make the 'fat black woman ' statement. It was one of the other commenters under ramona's post. He's the idiot that made those comments! Just wanted you to know so you could address the right guy. ', )
That’s really lovely. Blessed to have such a great friend.
Oprah is a queen, she has contributed so much to many many many people, her private life is her private life. It's a blessing to me to see her bless somany other people, I pray that God continue to use her to enlightened many and that she endeavor to continue properity...!!!!
I never told her how sweet that nana is "Tissue Please"
Eeewwwww😂
I don't believe she's gay. I just believe she's too strong a character and such people just have a harder time getting attached....coz finding the right partner to compliment you with such a strong character is just hard....
The media should be bringing this up every day. Why not? Isn't it a part of their legacy?
Oprah you are my hero... I salute You indefinitely... I love you no less if you are or not.. Its your business..if you are happy then thats all that matters.. Life is short, you have worked hard... You deserve your privacy!! Let no one in but the pple you choose... Stedman you are awesome, you know why...keep the gates closed forever...i thank you for making my hero HAPPY☺.....
THANK YOU..
she meant to say she is the love of my life dammit !!!!!!!and her head is off the chain lmao
Exactly! Girl can lie her socks off too!
O
