Oprah ‘Scoops’ Tabloids For Now

No doubt Oprah is patting herself on the back for the way her “publicity coup” went down over her half-sister Patricia (unknown last name — as yet). And there she was on TV claiming the tabloids would have been all over this if it got out, which was a little ridiculous. She lavishly applauded her half-sister for not going to the tabloids but why would she, because what chance then would she have of having a friendly relationship with Oprah?

Which would you choose? $50,000 from a tabloid or a long-term relationship with Oprah Winfrey as a trusted relative?

Pretty much a no-brainer, huh? Yes, and just as much of a no-brainer that this would have been a much more interesting show if Oprah had revealed who her daddy really is, then that her mother Vernita Lee had another child. Vernita had a few children by a few different men — so who can believe that such a revelation shook Oprah “to the core”?

Last year, when author Kitty Kelley came out with her unauthorized Oprah biography, Oprah’s cousin, Katherine Carr Esters allegedly told the author the real name of Oprah’s father, on the condition that Kelley not publish the information until after Vernita Lee told Oprah herself.

After Oprah publicly told her mother to unburden her soul, you can almost smell a new “shocking secret” show where Oprah’s real father is revealed. Then she could have even another “shocking secret” show where someone could explain why Vernon Winfrey agreed to take Oprah in and raise her if she wasn’t his natural child.

The tabloids meanwhile are already out digging up Patricia’s last name.
