Stepmother Calls Oprah's Relationship with Gayle Bizarre


Oprah Winfrey's former stepmother brands Oprah's closer than close relationship with Gayle King bizarre…

From The Daily Mail
'Once Oprah took us on a Mediterranean cruise,' Barbara explained. 'That was an amazing thing she did. She rented a $30million yacht and went on an 11-day cruise.’
If Barbara had hoped that she and her stepdaughter might bond across relaxing days in the sun she was sorely mistaken.
She said: ‘She’s very flamboyant. We had meals three times a day, three courses, different place settings, different cutlery, glassware, different everything three times a day but she never talked to me and Vernon. ‘She didn’t spend any time with us. It was always her, Stedman and Gayle. The three of them. Anytime you looked up they were together. To me it was just bizarre.’
Of course Barbara is well aware that there has been speculation as to the nature of Oprah and Gayle’s friendship.
She said, ‘I can only say what I saw and observed over the years. Gayle was more present than Stedman.’
