Oprah Winfrey has, seemingly, existed forever. She’s like a TV Mumm-Ra or something. And of course, most of her career has comprised of solemnly nodding at guests and talking about her fluctuating weight.
Good gig if you can get it.
However, Oprah also like a good ol’ overshare. She’s spoken rather candidly about the sexual abuse she endured, a teenage pregnancy and lately, pushing aside rumours that she’s a lesbian. That said, she’s got one big secret left up her sleeve and she wants to tell us all about it.
Oprah says:
“I was given some news that literally shook me to my core. This time, I’m the one being reunited. I was keeping a family secret for months, and on Monday you’re going to hear it straight from me.”
So, we’re getting a reunion are we? So who the shit is it?
Well, in 2010, someone called Kitty Kelly released an unauthorized biography about Oprah and the book claimed to know the identity of Winfrey’s biological father. As Oprah likes a big story, especially if it is about herself.
The book didn’t mention any names and refused to do so until Winfrey’s mother, Venita Lee, tells her daughter herself. Lee has refused to do this since forever.
It’s looking pretty likely that she’ll be waltzing her father on-stage and everyone will go nutso when she does. A well played ratings smash for Oprah, again.
Sadly for Oprah, we’re ready to blow the lid on this one and announce who Oprah’s biological father is.
Are you ready? Ready for disappointment?
Oprah Winfrey’s father is non-other that [hecklerspray’s lawyers would like to intervene here and note that, should any clues be given away in this article, Oprah Winfrey will send her robots – known as ‘The Killing Machines’ – round to the ‘spray bedsit and they will kick each writer ’til our genitals are the colour purple]

It’s her sister…she has a half sister she never knew about

This story is definitely amazing. However, kind of puzzling why Patricia wouldn’t go to the news about it or why the news wasn’t revealed when Patricia and/or Oprah discovered the situation. Either way, the story is definitely touching in the sense that it demonstrates how successful Oprah is today despite having a troubled childhood.

She resembles her father more than she does her mother. If he’s not her father he’s related to her somehow.

Let’s be real there are lot of people out there that may have siblings they do not of about. I may have some siblings, I have a mother like hers, the hush-hush secrets if paternity. What got me is that her mother claims to be a Christian woman. Well, how many times was she married if that and how many daddies are involved. If I am not mistaking he mother was a teenager. Should have been trying to get an education for her futuer and learned something on sex education. I am not impressed with story of her and her sister.
