– *”Know you can trust her number one, she’s smart, yeah she has a photographic memory, MH, uh, she works very, very hard and uh, so she has qualifications to do it and she’s very successful.

We arrested a former employee who was working at Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. She was arrested yesterday for several charges. It was quite a shock and pain to Oprah to have this kind of allegation leveled against something with her name at the forefront.”*

– *”Rose McGowan has put Oprah on blast. At the end of the day, Oprah is not the end-all-be-all of everything. She was able to say what she said, and then I have my rebuttal. It felt so shady. What is that like? What did she get from that? Imagine dating one of the most powerful women in the world for almost 40 years. What secrets would you have? What truths would you keep under wraps?”*

– *”I’ve been able to find my own happiness and define my own skills, my own talents, my own abilities, and I’m satisfied with that.”*

– *”Stedman Graham, Oprah’s longtime partner, has been quietly watching her empire grow, but could he be the one to finally spill the secrets behind Oprah’s world? Let’s just find out.”*

– *”I’m dedicated to her happiness, and so that’s great for her, and I want her to be the best she could possibly be, and she’s done a pretty good job of doing that.”*

– *”Questions are swirling. What has Stedman seen over the years? Is there a book in the works? And just how much does he really know about Oprah’s darkest secrets?”*

– *”I got really mad at him. I was like, I don’t care how many Oscars you have or whatever, and like, don’t… What are you biting a 9-year-old? What the heck’s wrong with you?”*

– *”Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have been together since 1986, which is an incredible 38 years. Their relationship is pretty unique—they’ve never married or had kids, despite all the public speculation.”*

– *”Stedman, who’s a successful author and businessman, tends to keep a low profile, often staying out of the spotlight that’s always on Oprah. They first met at a charity event back in 1986 and have been inseparable ever since.”*

“When people asked Oprah about their relationship in 2023, she shared some insights, but it’s clear they’ve got their own way of making things work.

‘The most romantic thing I do is make hot water cornbread,’ she said, sharing the recipe for the pan-fried cornmeal cakes, which requires cornmeal, water, and oil.

‘Mothers around the world feed their children on it, and all you do is add the hot water to the meal, and you make these little flat cakes, and you fry them in a pan,’ she explained. ‘Every time I do it, it’s like the most romantic thing I’ve ever done.'”*

– *”According to her 1992 interview with People, Winfrey said her producers were initially skeptical of her new beau and almost 200 centimeters former athlete and occasional sportswear model. Despite her suspicions, Winfrey struck up a friendship with Graham.

It wasn’t until months later when I learned he’d broken up with his girlfriend and had been inquiring about my dating status that I gave him a serious thought,” she wrote for her ‘O’ magazine in 2020.”*

– *”At the beginning of their relationship, Graham would commute to Winfrey’s condo in Chicago and eventually rented his own apartment just a few blocks away from her home. In 1992, Winfrey told People it had only been in the last year that Graham ‘keeps a toothbrush at my apartment.'”*

– *”While Winfrey initially was unsure about Graham, she said in ‘O’ The Oprah Magazine that the businessman was a genuine gentleman. ‘He’s so positive, wants the best for me, and everyone he knows truly wishes people well,’ she wrote. ‘He’s appropriately named because he’s steady as a mountain—even-tempered, accountable, trustworthy, patient.'”*

– *”In 1992, Stedman proposed to Oprah, and she accepted. However, the wedding never happened. Oprah has since explained that she realized she didn’t want the constraints of a traditional marriage. In her column in ‘O’ The Oprah Magazine, she wrote about how she had doubts after saying yes to his proposal. ‘I had doubts.

I realized I didn’t actually want a marriage—I wanted to be asked. I wanted to know he felt I was worthy of being his missus, but I didn’t want the sacrifices, the compromises, the day-in, day-out commitment required to make a marriage work. My life with the show was my priority, and we both knew it.'”*

– *”She continued by writing that he has individual personhood—he isn’t just Oprah’s man—and they share the same important values. ‘And because we relish seeing the other fulfill and manifest their destiny and purpose,’ she finished.”*

– *”Now you see, maybe that is why there’s been a lot of talk about how Oprah seems to always be focused on herself, with some wondering if she’s ever really considered how Stedman feels. People speculate that this might be why Stedman is reportedly fed up with the constant pressure and spotlight. There are even rumors that he’s pushing for a deeper look into her alleged crimes. It’s like maybe he’s had his fill of living in her shadow and wants to shake things up.”*

– *”For ages, Hollywood’s been pushing all sorts of bad stereotypes that messed up how a lot of people saw Black folks. Back in the day, there was a big debate about how limited roles pushed Black actors into playing these stereotypes just to get by. Now it seems Oprah is getting some heat for her part in this. Dave’s really fed up with how people like Oprah can just gloss over these issues and act like everything’s fine.”*

– *”Did you find yourself spiraling down?”*

– *”Well, first of all, yeah.”*

– *”Yeah, it’s like Oprah has been subtly hinting at Dave’s downfall, right? She seems to have a knack for sensing when things aren’t right. And you’re right—Oprah’s had her fair share of controversies, accusations of smear campaigns against critics, sabotaging careers, and some really disturbing claims.”*

– *”Oprah legitimized the notorious criminal João de Deus (John of God) as a miraculous faith healer, one who could cure cancer. Back in 2007, Oprah Winfrey launched the Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, inspired by Nelson Mandela.

It faced initial opposition from the South African government due to its high costs in a poorer area. When the school opened, its luxurious facilities like salons and gyms raised eyebrows. Over the years, scandals have surfaced at the school, but conspiracy theories about HT remain unsubstantiated.”*

– *”So Oprah built this $40 million school in South Africa, and they had 152 students attend. Oprah actually handpicked the 152 students who attended her school, but it wasn’t long until some of these students were being harmed by one of the employees of the school.

Her name is Virginia, and she was 27 years old at the time, and she was charged with 13 counts of getting inappropriate with the kids.

Virginia got physical with at least six students aged 13 to 15. So these students were handpicked by Oprah to go and live at this Academy, and one of these employees, who was managing the dorm, was physically touching them and doing things to them and harming them.”*

** – *”The scandal that has rocked Oprah Winfrey’s South African School for Girls does not reflect badly on the famous talk show host,” wrote ‘The Times,’ a Johannesburg newspaper in an editorial.

‘It reflects badly on this nation, and it should not be surprising that it manifested itself in Oprah’s school. Oprah should not be condemned for allegations made against this matron; she should be praised for her decision to aggressively deal with it.’

This incident was a black mark for South Africa, which has had issues with children being harmed by school employees. Oprah’s decision to place these students in harm’s way by an employee she selected was deeply concerning.”*

**”After the news about Virginia broke, Oprah took decisive action. She traveled to South Africa with a team of investigators to uncover the full extent of what had happened at the Academy. Six students of the 152 accepted students by Oprah to attend the institution laid accusations on the dorm matron, Virginia Timalemaso.”*

“So it’s a good thing Oprah went down to that school in South Africa to investigate, ’cause, you know, her name’s all over it. And yeah, unfortunately, that Virginia employee got cleared of all charges. Justice systems—they’re messed up everywhere, right? And get this—Virginia turned around and tried to sue Oprah for defamation, even though she was found innocent. But hey, that’s not the only scandal to come
