Oprah Winfrey was in Toronto with the cast of the movie "Precious". I know she was here to promote her movie but I can't believe how Oprah Winfrey gave me and thousands of her fans, the brush-off, at The Toronto Film Festival. People waited hours to see her and get a picture of her. I was there for hours, with my back killing me but I am a fan of Oprah's, so I waited. I would never have expected her to act like she did. Yeah, I was upset and a little hurt.

She gave all her attention to the media, who were on the side of Roy Thompson Hall, while her real fans were lined up along the opposite side. So guess who Oprah turns her back to, as soon as she gets out of the car? I was right across from the red carpet, the best position along barrier, and even I only saw her face for a second, only after she heard the fans screaming her name. (She turned and waved, so she did hear us calling her) The vast majority of the fans there, only got to see the back of her head because she was too busy posing for the paparazzi and ignoring us, her true fans. (the ones who made her rich and famous)


Funny thing is, Mary J Blige, who I thought was the real DIVA, was so nice to the fans, walking all along the fan area, to talk with people and pose for pics. She even walked right down to the end, so everyone could take a picture. I just thought that was so considerate! I was surprised and quite impressed with the respect she showed the fans. That, I wouldn't have expected, I really thought she was a difficult diva. My impression of her has greatly changed.

It's funny, everything went the opposite of what I expected. My one chance to see and experience the awe of Opera and it's out the window. I'm so disappointed in Opera but I'M STILL AN OPRAH FAN, just a hurt one! :-( She still does a lot of great things to help people and be a positive force on the planet.




I just have one question. OPRAH WHY???

I have to say, Gail King seemed so nice and down-to-earth. I was quite impressed with her. She came out and talked to the crowd a few times and seemed quite friendly and relaxed. She also looked fabulous!

But in the end, most people were there to see the big O and they walked away quite disappointed and in my case, a bit hurt. (Only because I really like her) I'm still glad I went. It's always fascinating for me to see how human beings interact with one another.

The whole video will be posted with Mariah Carey, Gabourney Sidibe (the star of the movie) Sherri Sheppard and surprisingly, Robert De Niro. So stay tuned.

  • She was busy - you think she owes you ANYTHING, much less the most valuable thing she, or any of us possesses - time?

    Not likely. If I was her I wouldn't even take a second to wave unless you paid me. Be glad for what you got.

  • @Silvertaker I'm not saying she owes anybody anything but these stars know their fans have been waiting there for hours, to see them, so I appreciate when they greet the fans and pose for pictures. Look at my videos of Brad Pitt & Bono. They walked around and posed with all the fans, as well as signed autographs. Maybe Oprah had a good reason for not addressing the fans, I really don't know. All I know, is what I saw but I am a huge Oprah fan, so I do want to believe she had a very good reason

  • She didn't ignore you if she fucking waved to your dumb asses.

  • Ummmmm So fucking what? It's not like she flipped you the bird. She was just doing what she had to do. Big fucking deal you needy bitch. Did she tell you or anyone else to wait for hours. That's your own stupid fault.

  • @clubfoote1960 lmao insider information

  • lmao lmao OMG OPRAH SHOULD STOP AND TALK TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON SHES EVER SEEN!

  • Oprah is one if not the biggest celebrities in the world. Just getting a wave from her should be respectfull enough,,,there are so many nutcases shes probably really carefull in public,,remember John Lennon?...Oprah owes you nothing,,Mary J Blige on the other hand needs to sell her music,,

  • F.Y.I.

    Oprah was infact needed right away inside. because She had to do some quick reading of her speech and then they needed everyone invited to the film festival to sit down so they could begin their evening.

    She was not trying to be rude at all. I know because Oprah is a very kind, caring person,

    If ever She did brush someone off it's because someone was being a jerk.

    (I wasn't saying that you are one.)

  • @SherrieLeaLaird Wow. You need to lay off the crazy conspiracy theories. DO you also think that Barack is a lizard person from beneath the world who is trying to poison you with chemtrails?

    Since there is/was no such thing as christ, the only thing that is antichrist is good common sense.

    Get ahold of yourself.

  • The guy who filmed this is an idiot.

  • Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa! Its so pathetic that you would post this lame video. Fuck Oprah and get a life.
