Reseña: Turning her reportorial sights on Oprah Kelley has given us an unvarnished look at the stories Oprahs told and the life shes led. Kelley has talked to Oprahs closest family members and business associates. She has probed every aspect of Oprahs life and it is as if shes written the most extraordinary segment of The Oprah Winfrey Show ever filmed: one in which Oprah herself is finally revealed. An interview to the author by USA Today in Washington she mentioned about Oprah: And now shes made me keep secrets says Kelley who claims she knows who Winfreys real father is but wont divulge it until Winfreys mother tells her daughter something she has been unwilling to do for decades. Kelley spent three days in Winfreys hometown Kosciusko Miss. chatting up Katharine Esters Winfreys cousin who goes by Aunt Katharine then talked to Vernon Winfrey in his Nashville barbershop. (He raised Oprah early on but says hes not her father.) Neither believes Winfreys stories about sexual abuse in her youth. (Winfrey says she was continually molested from age 9 until 14 and she did give birth to a baby boy at 15 - her uncle was suspected of being the father.) I dont believe a bit of it Esters told Kelley. No one in the family believes her stories (of sexual abuse) but now that shes so rich and powerful everyone is afraid to contradict her. Kelley says she found that many of the stories Winfrey has told over the years may be elaborated. I tried to give both sides Kelley says. Oprahs stories are colorful and a bit over the top. Maybe theyre just little exaggerations. Kelley claims Oprahs mom doesnt have her cell phone number. The tell-all portrays Oprahs family relationships as distant alleging that the privacy-hungry host forces her mom to schedule conversations in advance through an assistant. Vernon Winfrey a stepfather figure who reportedly helped raise Oprah is quoted as saying: She may be admired by the world but I know the truth.
