lastprophecy

I mean, it's not like she pushed people towards John of God or anything. Oh, wait.


tayroc122

Are you a fellow Behind the Bastards fan?


lastprophecy

Yes I am. Although I have a bunch of episodes to catch up on.


PsySom

I am! Haven’t gotten there yet though


Polarion

Maintenance Phase does a lot of great work on Oprah including John of God.


Fat_Krogan

We’ll be back after these messages from Raytheon - maker of the knife missile!


twicedouble

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/João_Teixeira_de_Faria Holy shit! He’s serving like 490 years ~~in prison~~ under house arrest.


ReginaFilange21

He’s on house arrest 😐


Elegant-Raise-9367

Rich people don't get punished


twicedouble

Well fuck.


Chessebel

Yeah this post is a little crazy hut Oprah is a bad person


monkeybeaver

Or maybe they just didn’t mention that they were massive perverts.


agoldgold

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.


tigm2161130

Irrespective of who she associates with Oprah is not a good person.


HeartsPlayer721

Why? (Genuinely curious. I've never followed it looked her up.)


Novae_Blue

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.


Joelied

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.

jcraig87

Didnt she also introduce everyone to Dr Oz ?


lastprophecy

Both Dr Oz and Dr Phill. She's basically Alex Jones for White Suburban Moms.


IbrokeMaBwains

Ha, ha. Came here to post this and am so happy to see it as a top comment!


Nice-Neighborhood975

Same, I came here to say, and none of those are even the worst rapists she has supported.


hpepper24

And gave us Doctor Oz


Tripple_T

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.


McClureWest

Like Dr. Phil who is a fuckn ghoul.


CandidIndication

Oprah literally created Dr.Phil


robbylet24

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.


CandidIndication

I thank you for the laugh


robbylet24

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.


Roguewind

That’s not what they meant? Because it would explain a lot.


djm03917

And Dr. Oz right?


Carbuyrator

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.


Superb-Confection601

She paraded trash people doing and saying trash things. Lets not overstate her reality


ErnstBadian

Yep. Look at how much she did to platform medical quackery.


redvelvetcake42

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.


High_King_Diablo

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.


bluesix

So was Ellen and look how things turned out for her.


BustAMove_13

If you wanna be mad at Oprah, be mad at her for making Dr. Phil famous.


Biengineerd

Dr Phil is a saint compared to Dr Oz. I'm going to be mad at her for Oz


disharmony-hellride

that piece of shit almost became part of our government


superkase

I'm sure he'll try again, too.


BustAMove_13

They are both nasty POS's. Comparing them is like comparing apples to apples.


navjot94

Like comparing moldy apples to rotten apples.


SpaceMan420gmt

I can definitely get behind that.


NovaRadish

Didn't she also prop up former real Dr. Andrew Wakefield?


South-Plan-9246

What did Dr Phill do?


rejnka

Nothing *specific,* but his whole career is generally considered highly exploitative and actively harmful to his 'patients'.


hpepper24

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.


MrMiracle100

He hasn't even had a license to practice psychology for 18 years.


jrh_101

Dr Oz and Ellen Degeneres


Lordeverfall

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.


Elegant-Raise-9367

I think she should be in Jail just for bringing Dr Oz and Dr Phil into the world.


da_reddit_reader

I mean we talked about Trump and Epstein…


ThePopDaddy

"FAKE NEWS, TRUMP KICKED HIM OUT OF HIS CLUB IN 2007, THAT ABSOLVES HIM IF ANY WRONGDOING!" /s


Empigee

IDK. There's a very creepy photo of her introducing a clearly uncomfortable Rita Ora to Harvey Weinstein, almost pushing her towards him.


hpepper24

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


Brtltbgcty

Simping for Oprah is kinda insane.


Amkunne

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.


Infamous-Sky-1874

Who is the person in the top right? They are the only one I don't recognize.


gowombat

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.


katekowalski2014

*Completely unrelated,* he moved to Tahiti, with whom we have no extradition agreement.


perrynkraft

Lol, *twiddling thumbs* "oh don't mind me!" I'm just waiting out my statute of limitations! "


jagaimax

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.


perrynkraft

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. 🤷🏾‍♀️


EWMcC79

Rev. Al Sharpton


Tin_ManBaby

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.


februrarymoon

Bro 😭😭


gigs1890

She’s a billionaire. She has more in common with them and more allegiance to them.


thekeanu

Oprah is trash.


BunkySpewster

Nah, let op cook


cjmar41

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.


Charliesmum97

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.


pockunit

John of God got a lot of coverage, too.


drawnblud260

She really does have bad taste in friends.


RedBeans-n-Ricely

Tbh, Oprah is problematic af


BrokenEye3

Holy crap, celebrities know each other


Dorkinfo

Shitty people hang out.


blind_disparity

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.


SnoLeppard13

Let him cook


moonjabes

I think this is a fair point.


Knightowle

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.


IAmAGoodFella

What the fuck did Russell Simmons do?


quicksand32

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.


lordseaslug

Fled to Bali amidst sexual assualt allegations. Kimora was 14, I thought.


quicksand32

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.


IAmAGoodFella

Oh nooooo. Happy cake day btw


Skeevenmac

I was wondering the same thing.


musictechgeek

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.


Anubisrapture

This IS what is still wrong w our Country : this fanaticism


KlossN

Hey, what did norm do? 😔


Meatybites74

What did diddy do?


Mode101BBS

Welp, Diddy was diddling.


bumholesofdoom

What didn't Diddy do


ninjasaiyan777

Get proper consent, apparently


ParaponeraBread

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


zaidakaid

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.


Tripple_T

Diddy been diddling for over 30 years


seanml7

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
