Oprah Winfrey is responding to allegations that she was a part of a sex trafficking and child pornography ring.
Back in March, around the time Tom Hanks announced he’d contracted the coronavirus, a slew of rumors began circling that the Queen of Talk was involved in sex trafficking and child porn. The rumor came about after people claimed Hanks only revealed his COVID-19 diagnosis so that he wouldn’t have to go to jail for being a part of the alleged sex ring that Winfrey was also a part of allegedly.
In addition, some people claim Harvey Weinstein was the one who told media and authorities about the alleged crimes from inside prison. Bossip reports that people believe Weinstein has a list of celebrities that are allegedly connected to the operation. The scandalous accusation bumped Winfrey to the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter, which prompted Auntie O to set things straight. “Just got a phone call that my name is trending. And being trolled for some awful FAKE thing. It’s NOT TRUE. Haven’t been raided or arrested. Just sanitizing and self-distancing with the rest of the world. Stay safe, everybody,” said Winfrey in a post. In her latest issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Winfrey went more into detail about feeling shocked by the claims.
“Imagine sitting cozily in bed, when you get a phone call telling you you’re trending on Twitter. And you discover it’s a bogus and vile story that you were arrested and your home was raided for sex trafficking and child pornography,” said Winfrey. “I can’t and don’t want to imagine an uglier accusation. At first, I was confused. Yes, that’s my name: “Oprah.” But I’m in bed in my pj’s and socks, and somehow #OprahArrested is a thing. My worst fear realized. Being slandered, accused of a crime I didn’t commit.”
Despite her major popularity in media, Winfrey says she’s never gotten used to seeing her name in false headlines. “In 1988, I pulled a wagon carrying 67 pounds of fat on stage during what is still the highest-rated Oprah show ever. From that day forward, I was exploited regularly with false, crude, inappropriate stories about me and food. And then about me and Stedman. And me and Gayle. Anything and everything that could sell a tabloid. Every week, another lie to ignore or deny. I never got used to it. I always feared what the next false headline would be. Why? Because I knew for sure that while a lot of people dismissed the stories, a lot of other people believed them.”
She says her childhood scares her about fake stories being passed around about her. “My fear of being punished for something I didn’t do stems from growing up being whupped for minor infractions. I grew up trying to please everyone to avoid the whipping. Lies are like those lashes. As a young girl, I never got angry; whippings made me sad. The same is true today. Except the sadness isn’t for myself—it’s for what I see the world becoming. How easy it is to slice, destroy, cancel someone with vitriol. How easily people swallow and spread that vitriol with gleeful memes.”
Regardless, Winfrey says she’s taking the high road and staying positive. “No matter the challenge or situation, I always ask, what is this here to teach me? And even when I don’t know the answer, I know one thing for sure. To paraphrase Genesis 50:20: What man intended for evil, God intended for good.” The newest issue of Oprah’s magazine will be available on May 19, 2020.

“How easy it is to slice, destroy, cancel someone with vitriol. How easily people swallow and spread that vitriol with gleeful memes”
Yes Oprah it’s easy. That’s exactly what you did to the dead defenseless Michael Jackson you hypocrite piece of s…t
Oprah, you are a bloody hypocrite.This is the beginning of your karma.Weren’t you the cheerleader advocating for the innocent, dead Michael Jackson to be cancelled. a man who literally made you famous, and whose family graciously welcomed you into their home, and granted you interviews?
Karma is a beautiful thing.
I bet you feeling the heat of the burning pages of the propaganda tabloids and media you embraced to get your evil points across to the masses, hey Cobrah? Don’t you know, Karma is a B*tch? You still have it easy because you are alive and being accused, but you took it in your stride to cancel Michael Jackson, a deceased man who got you recognised in this world through an interview he agreed to do with you, but guess what you hated him and his family. We now know the truth, how you stabbed him in the back many times including his children and family. SHAME ON YOU!!! You deserve what you getting and this is only the beginning. You tried to defame and take away the Legacy of a True Honest, Loving, Caring, Humanitarian, Innocent Human Being by believing the false words of liars. I will never feel sorry for because you have a cold/evil heart.
At least you are alive to defend yourself, O. Right? Not like MJ.
Such a sad hypocrite you are! Hey Oprah, I hear Weinstein is talking and giving names, but don’t worry, you’re at the top of his list. #pedophile
This is the same woman that lynched a dead Michael Jackson for publicity! And even with proven lies in the supported documentary has not appologized!
Yes. Imagine having terrible fake accusations being written about you and then someone like….say…YOU, Oprah, having a powerful platform and then giving it to the people making those false allegations against you so that nearly the entire world, except for the people with brains, believes them.
You’ve got some nerve. Someone with your platform would think that you would be more careful about the allegations against other people, but if its done to YOU, then people have somehow crossed a line?
Hypocrite of the highest levels.
Whats that Okra? You don’t like false accusations? its your worst nightmare? Tell that to Michael Jackson who you had no problem lynching
No one’s forgetting you and your friend Gayle King’s Kobe Bryant scandal either.
And anyways the truth speaks for itself. Last I checked you were the one friends with convicted rapists.
Weinstein? John of God? what about your little school in africa? very shady.
Who you spend your time with says a lot about you.
Watch Square One, its on Prime.
Welcome to the perverted side of the #MeToo movement, Oprah.
You, me, and many others supported the #MeToo movement. It was high time to find and smoke out true perpetrators.
Then you, and several others could not stop, and gave way to a totally perverted ‘next step’, in which allegation means guilt, and everyone who calls themselves a ‘victim’ must be believed – no questions asked. ‘Believe all women’, yet another idiotic slogan, as if men and women are no longer equal, and women somehow incapable of lying.
So Oprah, you have discovered that false child abuse allegations actually DO exist, and that they hurt innocent people. Reflect on that Oprah. Reflect on your fully automatic ‘belief’ in the two cheats who lied about the abuse by Michael Jackson, and never told in that fake ‘documentary’ that they are after his money, and had been thrown out of court more than once.
Reflect on your dear friend Gayle King’s unjournalistic treatment of the allegation against Woody Allen, in which Gayle obviously and obscenely sides with one of Mia’s children (Dylan) and diminishes the victimhood of another of Mia’s children (Moses). As if not FOUR out of FOUR child abuse expert instances have thoroughly investigated the allegation and ALL concluded it was NOT credible.
Oprah, you have co-created this atmosphere, in which a sensational allegation can turn into mass hysteria; in which some ‘woke opinion’ receives priority over due legal process; in which reputations of the innocent are sacrificed to satisfy the blood-thirst of an angry social media mob.
#TimesUp for false allegations, Oprah. And #TimesUp for those who supported them. It’s time to reflect. And to ‘do no harm’, starting with yourself.
She was on Epstein’s flight log too many times to not be aware and involved!!! She trumped up falsehoods on MJ cause he was talking truth about the Illuminati just before they started those ugly rumors about him! She is one of them! She is a member of the cabal! She will go down with those vile creatures too!
Oprah, you deserve it, you truly deserve it.
Hence proved, karma comes back.
Oprah’s property is being excavated.
She is falling from her tower and she doesn’t like the view.
People are waking up.
Is that why you are on the flight log? It is written in black and white! The horse and pony show is over! The sleeping giant is waking up! What will you do when the cat is truly out of the bag? These charades are only going to make you look even uglier on that day!!!! So, sit down and shut up!
It serves you good, cObrah. Karma exists!!!! RIP Michael Jackson!!!!!
