Oprah Winfrey’s Ousted Stepmother Speaks Out About The Talk Show Host’s Relationship With Stedman and Gayle King


Oprah Winfrey’s stepmother claims that the famous talk show host recently kicked her out of the home she shared with her soon to be ex-husband, Oprah’s father, Vernon Winfrey, and now, Barbara Winfrey is shedding even more light onto what she says is the truth about the world’s most powerful woman.

The Daily Mail published the first part of the exclusive interview on Tuesday, and in it, Barbara Winfrey talks openly about her tumultuous relationship with Oprah.

“I have lost everything,” said Mrs. Winfrey to The Daily Mail. “It’s not just a house, this is my home. All my memories are here. I’m trying to keep it together, but there are some days I just don’t understand how I could have made her so angry that she would kick me out on the street and think nothing about it. But that’s Oprah — she’s judge and jury.”

Barbara goes on to tell story after story about Oprah, painting the picture of a power-hungry billionaire who treated her stepmother like a second class citizen.

“Look at how she has treated me,” said Winfrey. “I laid my head next to her father for 14 years and she never thought me worthy of talking to. Look at how she’s behaved. Can you imagine Bill Gates or Warren Buffet behaving like this? So petty and mean spirited?”

Barbara says that her divorce from Vernon came after she discovered he was having an affair with a prostitute, but even when she knew the truth, Oprah allegedly turned her anger towards her stepmother.

“Oprah is a woman who empowers women to be all they can be, to stand up against men who mistreat them,” said Winfrey. “If she was a more decent person she would realize that what her dad did was very wrong instead of plotting against me and pushing me out of the scene.”

Now, in second part of the exclusive interview, published on Wednesday, Winfrey goes on to reveal startling details regarding the strange love triangle between Oprah, her longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham, and her best-friend Gayle King.

“I think in the beginning it was different,” explained Winfrey. “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.”

Winfrey goes on to say that over the years, however, the relationship between Stedman and Oprah drastically changed, and Gayle King, who many have suspected to be Oprah’s secret lesbian lover, took the primary role in her life.

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

And what does Barbara Winfrey say about the longtime suspicions that Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey are lesbian lovers?

“I can only say what I saw and observed over the years, revealed Winfrey to The Daily Mail. “Gayle was more present than Stedman.”

While Barbara Winfrey didn’t exactly confirm that Oprah and Gayle are in fact lovers, she did paint a vivid picture into the strange relationship between the two.

It should be noted that Barbara Winfrey is currently in a heated battle with her stepdaughter, so her angered-fueled accusations may not be entirely factual. Still, the shocking statements made by Winfrey do shed some light onto the private life that Oprah herself has kept hidden so well for so long.
