That was quick. Less than one week after the family of abuse victim Aviwe Mncwabe took their story to the National Enquirer, they got a face to face with Oprah. We talked about it last week, remember? About how the girl was scared to go back to school and how she didn't get a cell phone and stuff. Anyway, Oprah flew to South Africa Sunday for the meeting. "The meeting went well. It took about two hours, and I appreciate that Oprah took time to listen," the girl's father told People magazine. The session with Oprah included him, his wife and their daughter. He said, "I am very happy and pleased that Oprah heard our side of the story. We have closure." Aviwe is back in school and her father said "I am so excited because we were invited to the end-of-year school party, which will be on Tuesday. The other pupils and families knew about the party, but we were never told. So it was a big surprise for us when Oprah asked us to join the party."
A few months ago Vernon Winfrey told the National Enquirer that Oprah would never marry her longtime lover, Steadman Graham because, as Vernon put it, ol' Steddy don't bring nothing to the table. First off, I thought it was weird that he was making a statement to the Enquirer, not to mention talking greasy about Oprah's man, so I just blew it off as a lie. But I'm starting to believe Oprah and Vernon arent so tight and maybe he did talk to the tabloids because they say Vernon is writing a book about Oprah called "Things Unspoken" and Oprah is not happy about it. She didn't even know he was writing a book till she read about it in the paper and even then she didn't believe it. Not until one of her sisters told her she better call Vernon did he admit that he'd been meaning to tell her. The book is supposed to be about how wild and unruly Oprah was as a child. You know she was a pregnant 14 year old when she went to live with Vernon and some people say he's not even her real daddy. This should be interesting.
