Here is something new that will no doubt get everybody talking. According to the New York Daily News, Vernon, Oprah Winfrey’s dad is writing a book about his daughter. The mega-celebrity was quoted saying that she laughed when one of her assistants said, “The Daily News is calling. They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.” Oprah replied, “That’s impossible. I can assure them it’s not true.” But then Oprah’s sister said, “I think you should call your father.”
Oprah felt doubly betrayed when her father, after being confronted by Oprah about the book, ‘I meant to tell you I’ve been working on it.”The talk-show host was understandably upset saying of the news, “I won’t say ‘devastated,’ but I was stunned. The last person in the world to be doing a book about me is Vernon Winfrey,” she added. “The last person.”
Yikes. Can we say years and years of family therapy on this one?
