Oprah has been getting away with some fucked up shit for a while

It's her fault we have Dr.Oz and Dr.Phil

Platforming John of God was pretty awful as well.

Sounds like symptoms of the disease.

I have said for years I do not trust that woman. She is too powerful and, honestly, I bet she has nukes.

Well that was a twist I wasn’t expecting

"We've got a big surprise for you all today! Everyone look under your seats"

Audience members find a leaflet and begin reading

"We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s can carry on a single mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you it is grimly accurate.."

Yeah, well my mate Paul met this Italian couple whilst he was backpacking and they invited him back to their room for a threesome and they gave him some LSD. When they got there the bloke one pulled a screwdriver on him and made him shit in his own shoe and eat it.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

We’ve all been there.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Shitting on LSD is the worst.

Literally her entire career, maybe life.

Oprah has been getting away with some fucked up shit

Such as?

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Remember when her and Ellen joked about going into a bank just to make a deposit to see how the common people live?

She's endorsed multiple on her show selling junk science and grifts. She perpetuates myths about losing weight and health to promote her products. She basically did the same thing on Maui that everyone gets angry at Zuckerberg for doing Kauai, which was buy a fuck ton of land and then kick everyone off of it. She presents like a black girl that made it, but is infact just another billionaire member of the American aristocracy. Is she better than most? Sure, but it's not hard to be better than people like Trump and Koch.

I wouldn't exactly call this "fucked up shit"

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago

Not in comparison to her other shit, but I stand by my statement
