Remember when Oprah hailed James Frey's A Million Little Pieces as the next coming? The book shot up the Best Seller list and she had him on her show. It later came out he embellished parts of the memoir about addiction. His publisher dropped him, his car broke down, his wife left him, and his dog ran away. OK, only the first part of that sentence is true, but Oprah publicly shamed him on her show. She really let him have it saying he duped everyone and she felt he betrayed his readers.
Oprah called Frey last Fall to apologize for her treatment of him on the show. Frey said Winfrey called to tell him "I felt I owe you an apology," and she explained that her lambasting of him sprang from her sense of feeling betrayed, according to a Vanity Fair report.
"It was a nice surprise to hear from her, and I really appreciated the call and the sentiment."
"It was a nice surprise to hear from her, and I really appreciated the call and the sentiment."
Now all she has to do is apologize the the children of America for that foul comment she made before building that school in Africa.
ReplyDelete^^^ha ha Oprah does a lot of outta pocket stuff. She probably just apologized to get something out of it. Bet tha publisher is givin her a cut of tha $$$.
ReplyDeleteOPRAH LIKE TO PLAY WIT PEOPLE'S FUTURES.
ReplyDeleteOprah should be ashamed of herself for jumping all over this guy. He wasn't shooting a documentary or an article for Newsweek, he wrote a memoir. People embellish those all the time. The book was interesting.
