Oprah has forced her father and stepmother, Barbara Winfrey, out of their home, leaving them homeless. So naturally Barbara took the opportunity to drop the bombshell “insinuation that Oprah and Gayle are lesbian lovers.” Tickets! Tickets! All aboard the fun train!

Here are our favourite bits from her interview with the Daily Mail:

Stedman Graham is an old shoe:

He was comfortable like an old shoe, to her. They stayed in the same room when they were here but he didn’t live with her exactly. He travels so much; he would fly here and there to her. He’s at her beck and call.

I think in the beginning it was different. Vernon told me how one time he was driving and Oprah was taking Stedman to meet family in Mississippi. He said she was running her hands through his hair the whole trip, till he was so fed up he was ready to put her out of the car.

She wanted to get married at first but he wasn’t so keen.

Then she became this powerful person and things changed, the balance switched.

Stedman is financially dependent on Oprah:

Stedman isn’t a good steward of money and that suits Oprah fine. He is financially dependent on her. He knows her secrets and she knows his. Why would they marry now? He’s there at her beck and call. He knows his role in her life.

Oprah’s relationship with Gayle is very frigging weird:

Gayle is very, very present. I don’t know any man I’ve ever dated who could tolerate that, but Stedman knows Gayle’s going nowhere. They speak on the phone three or four times a day. 

Once Oprah took us on a Mediterranean cruise. That was an amazing thing she did. She rented a $30million yacht and went on an 11-day cruise.

She didn’t spend any time with us. It was always her, Stedman and Gayle. The three of them. Anytime you looked up they were together. To me it was just bizarre.

I can only say what I saw and observed over the years. Gayle was more present than Stedman.

To the point where the “we” in her life is her, and Gayle…

The day I called to tell her that her father had been held up at gunpoint in his barber’s shop her response was, “Well, I expect him to be found dead in there one day.”

I asked her why she would say something so cold, she said, “Coz it’s true. Gayle and I have already discussed it and we’ve accepted that.”

Sometimes I believe that Oprah is more dependent on Gayle than the other way round. I don’t know what she would do without her friendship and if it’s not more than friendship then they’re certainly giving every appearance that it is.

But don’t forget, Oprah has her brand to live up to and her father is a very conservative, traditional man. He’s a deacon of his church. He always thought she should get married.

And the final zinger:

She tells the world what to do but she’s in inner turmoil. Everybody thinks she has all the answers but she needs to sit down with Dr Phil.
