Well I Be Damned!
Actress, Rae Dawn Chong, 52 [who co-starred along Oprah Winfrey,59 in the hit movie the Color Purple] clearly has had some ill-feelings towards Ms. Oprah Winfrey for several years and she wasted no time unleashing her feelings during a recent interview with radio host Matty P’s Happy Hour show Rae told what she calls some un-nice truths about Oprah Winfrey.
When asked about her previous working relationship with Ms. O Rae made it clear that their friendship took a nose dive after she landed the lead female role in Arnold Schwar hit movie “Commando”
“I starred in Commando. And she just wasn’t having me. She’s competitive. She didn’t like me”
Rae Dawn went on to say that Oprah is a “biotch” and “and a great “brown noser”.
“She’s so enormously insecure. If you wanna distill Oprah Winfrey down to like her most basic components. She wants to be beautiful.”
“If you go into a room with her she will pick the most powerful person and will become best friends with them”
“Imagine being Oprah. She has all of the world. All the power in the world… and she only wants something that is only chemical, purely impossible.”
And then -wait for it….
“If this was 60 years ago [referring to the slave days], Oprah would not have been the house N—R she would have been the Field N—r!’
Sidebar: Ms. Chong: Why did you wait SO MANY years to air out this laundry. Why Now? While some people may praise you for speaking your truth, one would also question your reasoning for doing such at this moment. It sure didn’t look that way at the Color Purple reunion show
After a slew of insults Rea Dawn backpedaled and complimented Ms. Winfrey on her career accomplishments saying:
“We have to give her props. This woman is a miracle and I respect her and I say kudos to you, and I don’t give two cents about the other parts of it. She shifted the DNA in terms of our thinking of a woman of a certain size and a certain shade. I love her for that.”
SMH! I wonder if Ms. Winfrey will respond? Stay tuned PLUM’s
