Why do some people hate Oprah Winfrey?

Answer 1

I don't hate Oprah...I just don't care for her very much, anymore. I used to looove her back in the 80's and mid 90's, but somewhere in there, her head got too big for me. She'll have experts on her show, and cut them off to say HER opinion and will never let the expert finish their statements. It's like she thinks she knows more than the experts do, which make me wonder why she bothered having them on her show in the first place. Also, she is fully aware of the power she has over the crazed women in her audience...and others. Sometimes, I think she purposely influences people too much into her way of thinking instead of keeping their own opinion. And she refuses to be wrong about ANYthing! She'll go out of her way and spend lots of money to prove a person wrong. Then she says, "Got it now?" Wow! She can be humorous at times, though, and I thought she handled that press conference extremely well re: that African school.

Answer 2

When I at first saw Oprah Winfrey, I wasn't sure what to think about her because she seemed so arrogant (that is, SEEM) but I think that the natural way she talks makes her look that way. I'll never forgive her for invading people's privacy (she admitted to doing so) especially a very personal question she asked Michael Jackson once.
I think she does great work and has helped a lot of people, especially women who need help. She has done a lot of good and should stick to it rather than invade people's privacy. (If she's still in the habit of doing that, that is.)

Answer 3

NO one is liked by everyone. Oprah does a lot of good. Somepeople get sick of that too. Oprah is a good woman, I think. Some people just resent he making so much money. Look at her show, enterprises, and other industries she has going. That woman works hard, and gets paid for it. Nothing wrong with that!

She's come a long way from playing Sofia in The Color Purple. Good for her!

Answer 4

I don't hate Oprah, I don't even know Oprah. lol But if people dislike Oprah it may be because she seems smug lately. Just a smirk on her mouth. I'm sure this newest problem with the school, may very well make her more humble.

Answer 5

Gee, I dunno....What would a white/propertied/male/dominated society find threatening about a rich/powerful/generous/black/woman?

Her generosity is exactly what keeps her successful. She GIVES therefore she RECEIVES. Where a good many people grab all they can for themselves (thinking themselves entitled) all the while conveniently forgetting that the reason some have so MUCH is because too MANY don't have enough.

When you TAKE you are TAKEN from. When you GIVE you are GIVEN to. The surefire formula for success in life.

Peace.

Answer 6

She is what's known as a "media whore" -- she'll do just about anything to get attention, but will always have that false sheen of being oh-so-concerned and caring. It's called opportunism, and it's annoyingly smarmy.

Geraldo Rivera's the same way.

Answer 7

i dono about people, but i am just so sick of her. how did she get the last four featured spots on youtube anyway? does anybody know how to block oprah-related media from your internets?

Answer 8

Because for a this long she's one of the richest and most talented Af. American woman in America, and they're getting mad because she doesn't have any problems, or whatnot. They're mad cause they can't break her down.

Answer 9

They are jealous of her.

I like Oprah, warts and all.

Answer 10

maybe because she's a phoney pile of dung who apparently hates American schoolchildren but will spend millions building schools in Africa so girls can be molested by lesbian predators all there.
