The timing of Oprah’s revelation and embracing of her half-sister could be coincidental, although the woman had been attempting to reach Oprah for three years! The touching reunion comes on the heels of a Kitty Kelly biography of Oprah – the wealthiest and arguably most powerful woman in the country. What is Oprah most grateful for? She’s very pleased that her new sis didn’t go to the press first. Kelly found out how powerful Oprah is, no one will have her on their show to talk about her book, including Letterman!
A biography of Oprah isn’t easy to do. Oprah requires everyone around her to sign confidentiality agreements, and is described as a cold manipulator. With all of the teary reunion programs, you would never know that Oprah still has a mother living in Milwaukee named Vernita Lee. While Oprah sends money, mom cannot reach her, and is not allowed to have her phone number.
Kitty Kelly’s biography of Oprah is a fascinating read about the reunion Kelly predicted, and a woman whom millions think they know from seeing her in their living rooms. In truth, they don’t know much at all about the powerful queen of T.V. who holds her real secrets very close to the vest – along with the two pecan pies she regularly orders from room service!
