Oprah Winfrey is the brightest star in CelebrityWorld; she doesn’t have to flash her vagina for publicity. Ohmygawd, what a frightful thought – the only thing worse would be if she appeared in public without any makeup.
The Queen of TV talk has a very faithful audience, she could discuss strategy with the chess champion and still garner high ratings.
The tubby talker doesn’t have to resort to exploiting children who make the news because some misfortune or tragedy befalls them.
But that’s exactly what Oprah did when she interviewed 15-year old kidnap victim, Shawn Hornbeck, and his family.
Shawn Hornbeck was only 11 when he was kidnapped by Michael Devlin, a 41-year-old pizzeria manager, over four years ago.
Shawn was freed on Jan. 12, when authorities entered Devlin’s apartment, searching for another missing youngster.
From WSBTV.Com:
“During an interview with Oprah Winfrey on a TV show that aired Thursday, Shawn’s parents said they have not asked their son about his ordeal on the advice of child advocacy experts.ÂÂÂ
‘OK, I’m gonna go there and ask you, what do you think happened? Do you think he was sexually abused?’ Winfrey asked Shawn’s parents, Craig and Pam Akers.
Both nodded and said, ‘Yes.”‘
Disregarding the advice of child advocacy experts, Oprah asks Shawn’s parents on TV if their son was sexually abused. His parents should have refused to answer the question. In fact, if his parents had any common sense and decency they wouldn’t have subjected their son to a TV interview so soon after his long ordeal.
Shawn must be mortified knowing that when he returns to school all his classmates will know that he was sexually abused by an adult male.
Oprah should stick to her usual New Age bullcrap and interview self-help experts and other neo-spiritual con artists.
Oprah Winfrey, you bloviating cow: Leave traumatized children alone!
