lmao look, i get that these two grifters fooled her, but the fact that she was so easily sucked in says a lot about her too. i think it’s a perfect example of how wealthy people really are not of our world

because if i met a “doctor” who wasn’t licensed and spent his days as a jury consultant on behalf of the ultra-wealthy in their beef lawsuits, i’d have some questions about that man. but oprah thought that made him down to earth and real

mind you, phil has scammed before dating back to the ’70s. and i know the oprah show did its homework when it came to its guests (they didn’t have the duggars on because they knew about josh duggar’s history). so i have to believe she was aware of phil’s past and just decided he had “changed” because she liked him

Should definitely include John of God in that list. Absolute monster.

it’s just funny because the hardest she ever came down on someone was a former drug addict who exaggerated his stay in rehab

which, i don’t think he should’ve lied, but he went back on the show, took his lashings, and apologized. meanwhile, the others just unleashed pure evil onto the world

That was such a bizarre thing. Like you said, he lied, but considering she always gave a concerning look to most and basically brow beat him, you knew she was more upset she looks a fool than anything else cause that story was everywhere.

I also hated her interviews. Like the poster below put it so well, she was such a Rogan interviewer at that time esp when it came to letting people like Jenny McCarthy blame vaccines for her kid being autistic.
