I just read an article saying that Oprah used to do cocaine in the 80s with one of her boyfriends. He even said she would record her show while on drugs. Her ex boyfriend Randolph Cook is writing a book about his relationship with her and how she influenced him to do drugs. He claims she started doing coke in the 70s when she was dating a dealer. I had never heard this before, but people change and that was over 20 years ago. I do think though that people set some people on pedestals...over the years I started liking Oprah less and less, however, this doesn't really change my opinions of her.

That's a pretty crazy story, but ya know, everyone has a past.. I respect her because she does give a lot of her money away to really great causes.  Although I'm sure some of it is for good publicity, but she's changed so many lives.  Lol the only thing that bugs me about her is when she tries to talk like a psychologist when she is NOT.  But she tries her best to give good advice.  Although it can be hard to accept advice coming from someone who is so extremely wealthy and has very few real problems.
