OPRAH --- HOAXER OR HERO
BACKSTORY —
On a recent afternoon, an audience composed mostly of survivors of sexual abuse sat in the Times Center auditorium in Manhattan for a preview screening of Dan Reed’s “Leaving Neverland,” to be followed by a Q. and A. led by Oprah Winfrey. The documentary, which aired on HBO in two parts on a Sunday and Monday, profiles Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two men who say Michael Jackson sexually abused them when they were children.
QUESTION : Was Oprah the perfect perfect to conduct this interview? You decide.
LISTEN NOW
During OUR interview, a caller reminded us of Winfrey's storied history as a talk-show host, cultural icon, advocate of mystical healing powers, fearer of hamburgers and friend of Harvey Weinstein. Another caller explored her child sex abuse scandals.
STOP. PAUSE. #MUTE-HYPOCRISY
