Kitty Kelley's New Book, 'Oprah: A Biography' Shows Closet Skeleton, Paints Sordid Episodes in Oprah's Recent Past: Once in Love with John Tesh...etc


Oprah does not kiss and tell. Who does not like this kind of privacy in a woman? She is a classy lady for that! She never revealed this kind of info before. She never revealed that she had a relationship with John Tesh....




Does Oprah's aunt reveal to Kitty Kelley the identity of her father? For this reason only, Oprah should have talked to her. Maybe she is not interested in finding her birth father.




Promoting her new book will not be easy for Kitty Kelley as Oprah's friends in the media are closing doors on her nose. So far, Kitty Kelley is complaining about her unsuccessful efforts to market this unauthorized biography of one of the most powerful and richest women in the world. Well, Oprah did not want to talk to her for this new biography. Kitty was determined to reveal the sleeping skeleton that she thought she could find in her closet. Thus far, a lot of people have been talking about Oprah's past flame, her cub co-reporter, John Tesh, who is also very popular in the talk show world.

OK, what does the book reveal that most of us did not know about Oprah? We all know that Oprah likes controlling her image and the products she delivers. Her employees have to sign a non-disclosure clause. Well, it kind of makes sense considering that her show has been number one for a lot of years.

Here is what the book is causing people, readers to talk about or discuss:

On CBS News, we can read the following, "n unauthorized biography, "Oprah: A Biography," which will be released on Tuesday, Kelley paints a picture of some sordid episodes in Winfrey's past...."

"....Winfrey has already revealed that she was sexual molested and pregnant by the time she was 14 and that the newborn died in birth. Kelly reportedly says there's more to the story. "This book goes into much more detail. This book names the little boy that she gave birth to, presents the birth certificate and tries to show how these secrets, these awful secrets, controlled Oprah for most of her life," Kelley told the The New York Times. In her book, Kelley also details Winfrey's 1970s romance with former "Entertainment Tonight" and radio talk show host, John Tesh. ..."

The book reveals this much. John Tesh bolted out of the home they shared together in the middle of the night. This is an interesting observation considering that they were living in Tennessee, the big South in those days. Who knows why he ran out of their home like this? Oprah was young and full of life at the time!

In the New York Times's first question to Kitty Kelley, Deborah Solomon presents Oprah as a manipulator, "The book presents her as a cold manipulator who requires everyone around her to sign confidentiality agreements. ..."

Kitty Kelley responds that Oprah is very secretive even when she knows that there are so many secrets out there.

Kitty Kelley wants to make us understand that her book goes into much detail about Oprah's life even though the queen of talk show has already revealed some of her hard life's stories.

Kitty Kelley's interview about her book reveals that Oprah's mother, Vernita Lee, lives a very comfortable life, chauffer-driven everywhere in Milwaukee. However, the mother does not have her phone number and can not contact here directly. Well, there may be many reasons for that omission.

Kitty reveals that Oprah is very restrictive or even more restrictive than Frank Sinatra and Nancy Reagan. Here is how some media moguls do not want in Oprah's croos hair. "we have already been told by Barbara Walters’s producer, No, you cannot be on “The View,” I cannot disrupt my relationship with Oprah. Joy Behar, the same thing. Charlie Rose; Larry King said, I will not do it, it might upset Oprah. Even David Letterman."


Oprah is still connected with Stedman Graham. Her best friend is Gayle King

Other revelations of the book are, (according to Eonline.com):

The book isn't going to do anything to stop those gay rumors. "I know people are expecting me to 'out' her," Kelley told USA Today. "But I think she's just asexual. She's poured all of her energies into her career. And if she is, she is never ever, ever going to come out. So relax, people." Of course, that didn't stop her from liberally quoting Rosie O'Donnell on the Howard Stern Show last year musing that Oprah and BFF Gayle King are "the emotional equivalent of a gay couple," or author Erica Jong's remark that she "would not be surprised if Oprah is gay."

• She has a secret birth father. Kelley has described Winfrey's life as being "choked with secrets," the biggest one of which is her not knowing who her birth father is. Kelley spent three days in Mississippi with Winfrey's aunt, Katharine Esters, who told Kelley the identity of Winfrey's real father but swore the author to secrecy. Kelley did not divulge the information in the book, because she said Winfrey's mother has yet to share that information with her famous daughter. (Of course, as Esters is still holding a grudge against Winfrey for failing to promote her own memoir and harbors long-held "disagreements over the family's history," she may not be the most unbiased source out there.)

• Oprah might want to have her lawyers take another look at those confidentiality agreements. Kelley interviewed roughly 850 sources for the book, most of whom are "present or former employees," whom Kelley said had to remain anonymous "because they signed binding confidentiality agreements." Well, clearly not that binding. She also managed to score an interview with Oprah's father, Vernon Winfrey, who let rip the following sound bite-ready quotes: "I need her show like a hog needs a holiday." And! "She may be admired by the world, but I know the truth. So does God and so does Oprah. Two of us remain ashamed." With fathers like that, who needs alleged birth parents?
