I’ve said that many times before and I’ll say it again!
Until you experience the love and the closeness that she shares with her best friend Gayle, only then, will you be able to understand their relationship.
The talk show Diva opened up to Barbara Walters about the lesbian rumors that were circulating rampantly after she and Gayle went on this camping trip. Oprah went on to say that: “Gayle is the mother she never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves,” she went on to say: “I don’t know a better person.”
Oprah, who broke down in tears while talking to Walters, told herself she wouldn’t let Walters make her cry, and that the reason those words brought her to tears is because she’s never said them to Gayle herself.
Oprah also addressed the persistent rumors that she and Gayle are lesbians.
“I’m not a lesbian. I’m not even kind of a lesbian,” she said. “And the reason why it irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I’m lying. That’s number one. Number two: why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life.”
You can catch the hour-long (Barbara Walters) special when it runs on Thursday (December 9, 2010) on ABC.
