Oprah has been accused of manipulating personal information from celebrities for ratings.
Notable critics include 50 Cent and Ludacris. 50 Cent accused Oprah of pandering to a predominantly white audience while disregarding her roots.
Ludacris felt misrepresented when Oprah used her show to criticize his music, later discovering that his responses were edited out.
The controversy doesn’t stop at Oprah’s handling of celebrities.
Her connections with figures like Diddy, Harvey Weinstein, and Tyler Perry raise eyebrows. Williams alleges that Oprah uses her resources to eliminate anyone who opposes her.
Recent events have further fueled the controversy. Oprah’s properties in Maui remained untouched by devastating wildfires, prompting questions about her influence.
Instead of directly aiding those affected, Oprah launched a fundraising campaign, which many criticized given her immense wealth.
This incident, along with her extensive land acquisitions post-2017 fires, has led to speculation about her true motives.
