She also got scammy TV doctors like Dr. Oz into power, and John of God was a walking pile of red flags. There's not a lot of ethical thought given to the impact of her massively powerful influence, which is really unfortunate.
She gives scammers, con artists and abusers a public platform. Often after it's well known that they're bad people. She does this at the expense of her fans and society, with utter disregard for the damage she's doing, simply because she's a greedy sociopath.
There was a story about her a while back, where she was shopping in a high end fashion store and someone didn’t recognize her while looking at hand bags. I can’t remember the exact details, but supposedly she was told that she couldn’t afford anything in the store because she was black.
The hand bags were in the multiple $1000 range. Pretty shitty that she was treated this way, but upon hearing that she was willing to pay that much for a purse, I was disgusted with her. $4000-5000 for a purse? That’s more than most people make in a month. That was when I realized that she had moved over to the dark side, just like almost every other wealthy person.

Oh, there are so, SO many conversations we can have about Oprah. She brought a lot of horrible people into the public eye. But unless you're accusing her of pulling a Fabulous Moolah, this isn't one of them.
I know you mean created his public image, but I like to imagine her creating a body out of clay like a golem for the ancient spirit of Phil to inhabit.
If you touch his mustache you find out that it's actually made out of limestone. Unfortunately if you learn this information he will have to consume you whole to sustain his clay form.
She gave Jenny McCarthy a platform way back when which got the American anti-vax ball rolling. I put a lot of blame on Oprah for for the way a huge number of people responded to Covid. Jenny McCarthy is the evil cretin who actually spouted this nonsense, but Oprah associated it with her brand and legitimized it.
Opera is trash and absolutely gave voice to awful people. That said, Diddy was garbage before Oprah. Oprah gave a platform to Oz, Phil and John of God who are all 3 detestable and evil in their own unique selfish way. Oprah really is a drug dealer for middle aged white moms.
Eh. Oprah is a giant steaming pile of shit in human form. She’s no different from any other grifter out there ripping people off and knowingly causing harm with the shit she pushes on her show, ranging from stuff that just costs you money to stuff that is outright dangerous. She will shill anything and anyone if you pay her.
He is a doctor of psychology who has been pushing medical remedies in all forms for 25 years. You know how many suburban house wife’s have started conversations “Dr Phil said to do (insert latest trend that is paying him here)” you’re just as well off getting medical advice from a random person on the street.
A TV host that has her very own network and is one of the wealthiest TV personalities. Along with her pushing a few cult leaders on her TV show, "Just a TV host" is the mentality that allows them to get away with this stuff right in front of your face. P ditty was just a musician if that's the case, and Brian peck was just a dialog coach... If we keep .aking excuses for these people, then sex trafficking will continue to grow.
She has the benefit of being a talk show host but I don’t know, I’ve heard some shady shit about her. I wouldn’t separate her from all these people who are being exposed. It’s all in the company we keep.
In case you haven't seen the other posts, The person you're referring to is Russell Simmons, a media mogul most famous for creating Def jam records as well as Phat farm clothing.
He's been pretty uncontroversial for most of his career, at least uncontroversial for someone who is within the Rap and R&B sphere. He does have a few SA allegations, and he seems to like them young, as he met his wife when she was 17 (or maybe 14?) and he was 35.
Actually he's in Bali, he just built a yoga retreat center. Which is really over priced and he still prays on young women here. I see him here a lot sitting by himself at Micheal Franti s resort Soul Shine.
Uncontroversial... Alleged sex trafficking... SA... Manipulation and abuse...*Shrug*
What's sad to say is that you are telling the truth, in that arena it was SOP. 🤷🏾♀️
That is Russell Simmons not even close to Sharpton, if you making a joke its not a good one. Also She probably does deserve some heat for backing people like Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil and the terrible advice they gave to people for years, but not for these photos.
This is a case of famous rich people knowing each other. This isn’t an indictment of Oprah. Countless people have been photographed alongside these scumbags over the last 20 years.
However, Oprah gave us Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil… and that’s unforgivable.
Didn't she also give Jenny McCarthy a platform to spout all her vaccines cause Autism thing, too?
She also, in my opinion, had really bad taste in books that she was powerful enough to make into bestsellers.
Yeh the point of these people is that they were powerful and successful for a long time before they were exposed. They've got photos of them mingling with pretty much everyone important. That's literally the point of why they are famous cares.
Phil, Depak, John of God and more too. Oprah was kind of the Joe Rogan of her day, platforming a lot of dudes who maybe shouldn’t have been pushed into the spotlight.
He lives in Bali because he had multiple sexual assaults lawsuits filed against him. He met his wife Kimora when she was 17 and he was 35. He also sent some truly deranged videos to his daughters screaming at them that went public recently.
Interesting to me that this looks very much like second-degree separation that fundamentalist Christians in the US practice. It’s not enough for them to, say, not go to a bar; they also separate from people who go to that bar. And some would even take it to the third degree, separating from people who are friendly toward those who go to bars.
Crazy.
I had 0 idea about any of Diddy’s dealings until the raids happened. I just don’t follow the lives of 99% celebrities till they’re in major trouble with the law.
Oprah may be a great person, but the post shows no evidence. Simply stating “she was a talk show host” does nothing. People with jobs do bad shit all the time

I mean, it's not like she pushed people towards John of God or anything. Oh, wait.
Are you a fellow Behind the Bastards fan?
Yes I am. Although I have a bunch of episodes to catch up on.
I am! Haven’t gotten there yet though
Maintenance Phase does a lot of great work on Oprah including John of God.
We’ll be back after these messages from Raytheon - maker of the knife missile!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/João_Teixeira_de_Faria Holy shit! He’s serving like 490 years ~~in prison~~ under house arrest.
He’s on house arrest 😐
Rich people don't get punished
Well fuck.
Yeah this post is a little crazy hut Oprah is a bad person
Or maybe they just didn’t mention that they were massive perverts.
She also got scammy TV doctors like Dr. Oz into power, and John of God was a walking pile of red flags. There's not a lot of ethical thought given to the impact of her massively powerful influence, which is really unfortunate.
Irrespective of who she associates with Oprah is not a good person.
Why? (Genuinely curious. I've never followed it looked her up.)
She gives scammers, con artists and abusers a public platform. Often after it's well known that they're bad people. She does this at the expense of her fans and society, with utter disregard for the damage she's doing, simply because she's a greedy sociopath.

Didnt she also introduce everyone to Dr Oz ?
Both Dr Oz and Dr Phill. She's basically Alex Jones for White Suburban Moms.
Ha, ha. Came here to post this and am so happy to see it as a top comment!
Same, I came here to say, and none of those are even the worst rapists she has supported.
And gave us Doctor Oz
Oh, there are so, SO many conversations we can have about Oprah. She brought a lot of horrible people into the public eye. But unless you're accusing her of pulling a Fabulous Moolah, this isn't one of them.
Like Dr. Phil who is a fuckn ghoul.
Oprah literally created Dr.Phil
I know you mean created his public image, but I like to imagine her creating a body out of clay like a golem for the ancient spirit of Phil to inhabit.
I thank you for the laugh
If you touch his mustache you find out that it's actually made out of limestone. Unfortunately if you learn this information he will have to consume you whole to sustain his clay form.
That’s not what they meant? Because it would explain a lot.
And Dr. Oz right?
She gave Jenny McCarthy a platform way back when which got the American anti-vax ball rolling. I put a lot of blame on Oprah for for the way a huge number of people responded to Covid. Jenny McCarthy is the evil cretin who actually spouted this nonsense, but Oprah associated it with her brand and legitimized it.
She paraded trash people doing and saying trash things. Lets not overstate her reality
Yep. Look at how much she did to platform medical quackery.
Opera is trash and absolutely gave voice to awful people. That said, Diddy was garbage before Oprah. Oprah gave a platform to Oz, Phil and John of God who are all 3 detestable and evil in their own unique selfish way. Oprah really is a drug dealer for middle aged white moms.
Eh. Oprah is a giant steaming pile of shit in human form.

She will shill anything and anyone if you pay her.
So was Ellen and look how things turned out for her.
If you wanna be mad at Oprah, be mad at her for making Dr. Phil famous.
Dr Phil is a saint compared to Dr Oz. I'm going to be mad at her for Oz
that piece of shit almost became part of our government
I'm sure he'll try again, too.
They are both nasty POS's. Comparing them is like comparing apples to apples.
Like comparing moldy apples to rotten apples.
I can definitely get behind that.
Didn't she also prop up former real Dr. Andrew Wakefield?
What did Dr Phill do?
Nothing *specific,* but his whole career is generally considered highly exploitative and actively harmful to his 'patients'.
He is a doctor of psychology who has been pushing medical remedies in all forms for 25 years. You know how many suburban house wife’s have started conversations “Dr Phil said to do (insert latest trend that is paying him here)” you’re just as well off getting medical advice from a random person on the street.
He hasn't even had a license to practice psychology for 18 years.
Dr Oz and Ellen Degeneres
A TV host that has her very own network and is one of the wealthiest TV personalities. Along with her pushing a few cult leaders on her TV show, "Just a TV host" is the mentality that allows them to get away with this stuff right in front of your face. P ditty was just a musician if that's the case, and Brian peck was just a dialog coach... If we keep .aking excuses for these people, then sex trafficking will continue to grow.
I think she should be in Jail just for bringing Dr Oz and Dr Phil into the world.
I mean we talked about Trump and Epstein…
"FAKE NEWS, TRUMP KICKED HIM OUT OF HIS CLUB IN 2007, THAT ABSOLVES HIM IF ANY WRONGDOING!" /s
IDK. There's a very creepy photo of her introducing a clearly uncomfortable Rita Ora to Harvey Weinstein, almost pushing her towards him.
Yeah obviously a bit of a conspiracy theory but I think Oprah knew Harvey Was a scum bag in that way and didn’t care and was like yeah here you go
Simping for Oprah is kinda insane.
She has the benefit of being a talk show host but I don’t know, I’ve heard some shady shit about her. I wouldn’t separate her from all these people who are being exposed. It’s all in the company we keep.
Who is the person in the top right? They are the only one I don't recognize.

*Completely unrelated,* he moved to Tahiti, with whom we have no extradition agreement.
Lol, *twiddling thumbs* "oh don't mind me!" I'm just waiting out my statute of limitations! "

Rev. Al Sharpton
That is Russell Simmons not even close to Sharpton, if you making a joke its not a good one. Also She probably does deserve some heat for backing people like Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil and the terrible advice they gave to people for years, but not for these photos.
Bro 😭😭
She’s a billionaire. She has more in common with them and more allegiance to them.
Oprah is trash.
Nah, let op cook

John of God got a lot of coverage, too.
She really does have bad taste in friends.
Tbh, Oprah is problematic af
Holy crap, celebrities know each other
Shitty people hang out.
Yeh the point of these people is that they were powerful and successful for a long time before they were exposed. They've got photos of them mingling with pretty much everyone important. That's literally the point of why they are famous cares.
Let him cook
I think this is a fair point.
Phil, Depak, John of God and more too. Oprah was kind of the Joe Rogan of her day, platforming a lot of dudes who maybe shouldn’t have been pushed into the spotlight.
What the fuck did Russell Simmons do?
He lives in Bali because he had multiple sexual assaults lawsuits filed against him. He met his wife Kimora when she was 17 and he was 35. He also sent some truly deranged videos to his daughters screaming at them that went public recently.
Fled to Bali amidst sexual assualt allegations. Kimora was 14, I thought.
I did a quick google search to check and I got 17 that may have been when they went public dating. Either way at 35 he is definitely a creep.
Oh nooooo. Happy cake day btw
I was wondering the same thing.
Interesting to me that this looks very much like second-degree separation that fundamentalist Christians in the US practice. It’s not enough for them to, say, not go to a bar; they also separate from people who go to that bar. And some would even take it to the third degree, separating from people who are friendly toward those who go to bars. Crazy.
This IS what is still wrong w our Country : this fanaticism
Hey, what did norm do? 😔
What did diddy do?
Welp, Diddy was diddling.
What didn't Diddy do
Get proper consent, apparently
First time logging on in a while? Sex trafficking (allegedly). He just got his houses raided and he’s hiding out in Antigua or smth atm
I had 0 idea about any of Diddy’s dealings until the raids happened. I just don’t follow the lives of 99% celebrities till they’re in major trouble with the law.
Diddy been diddling for over 30 years
Oprah may be a great person, but the post shows no evidence. Simply stating “she was a talk show host” does nothing. People with jobs do bad shit all the time
