  • I agree with Anika whole-heartedly. Iyanla certainly has the right to navigate her own life without Oprahs permission. I think the ego in this whole situation was Oprah's, not Iyanla's

  • Oprah thought she was not ready and Iyanla thought she was. If Oprah thought she was not and needed grooming so to speak. It would be Oprah's money that would be lost not Iyanla's. She seems to not take responsibilty for anything. She did not pay for insurance because she didn't like how much she had to pay. It was not her fault when she lost her house because the bank wanted her balloon payment. She made that plan. She thought she would have the money.

    Oprah is a business woman.

  • On Hindsight Oprah may consider she made a mistake, even as a business Woman. Iyanla Sells "Own" right now. Oprah being the strongest Business mind of the two could have done things differently and taken Iyanla under her wing instead of persecuting her.

  • Oprah did not have to let her go. She could have seen Iyanla's desire and start to groom her toward that direction. If God said it was the anointed time it could have been with Oprah. The show did not have to air the next day. I think Oprah wants to always be in charge and anyone challenging her or trying to redirect her intentions will not be tolerated. Letting Iyanla go was not the answer. It was ego on Oprah's part. All she had to do was sit down and set and plan goals with Iyanla.

  • why did they cut that dude off?

  • Both of these WOMBMEN are Leaders! Deep Wisdom. i don't think we can know what we're looking at here. you don't get to play at the Oprah level of business and not have situations like this. It all seems reasonable to me. i can see how this happened. the world still needs them both. they were life savers for me at one time. much love & respect!

  • Iyanla said, "I couldn't receive it...I didn't know what it was". That's the key phrase of the whole conversation. They were trying to groom her for a multiracial national audience and Iyanla simply wasn't ready. Unfortunately, she didn't know it and missed her opportunity, then. But what's for you is for you; and now she's sitting at the table with Oprah co-hosting the "Lifeclass" show on OWN. And, quiet as kept, Oprah also got Rosie O'Donnell from Barbara Walters! And the winner is....

  • First of all, good job ladies ! I agreed with most except to imply Oprah wouldn't have discarded someone if they were white. That's absolutely ridiculous reverse racism Blacks use against each other. It's an inferiority complex and if you believe that than you believe white people are superior. Oprah is the Chairman of Harpo! That IS HER company. She is the final decider! You better believe Phil, Oz, Rachel Ray, Orman, all of them waited until she was ready. Iyanla admitted she wasn't ready!!!!

  • And that ladies and gentlemen is whats killing the Negro race. We'll nurture Phil, Oz and every other kinda white person no matter how they piss us off and Im sure there were times when there was heated fellowship between Phil and Oprah and Oprah and Oz etc...but she was black and we still have that crippling stigmatism that says we dont want other negro's to achieve. God Bless both women and us all and lets learn to help one another black ppl please. We're killing ourselves here

  • i've never ever heard such bs in my life. when God gives us a gift its just as good as the gift of parenthood. None come with a set of concrete rules. gifts come with faults, failures, happiness and sunshine filled days but when your gift is birthed at whatever point in time God will see that its bought to light. Someone had to nurture Queen Oprah so Oprah should have willfully nurtured/mentored Queen Iyanla. maybe Queen Oprah saw Queen Iyanla as a good fit for her show but a threat as well
