Daddy Can Kiss That Monthly Check Goodbye
May 22, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
File this under "books you won't see in Oprah's book club." Oprah isn't happy that her 74-year-old daddy, Vernon, is writing a tell-all. Oprah said that she laughed it off when one of her assistants told her about it. Oprah said that it wasn't true, but the assistant assured her it was.
Oprah said, "They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.' I said, 'That's impossible. I can assure them it's not true.'
"But then my sister said, 'I think you should call your father.' I called him and it turned out he is writing a book. The worst part of it was him saying, 'I meant to tell you I've been working on it.' "
Oprah said she's upset and stunned and was disappointed that she didn't hear it from her father first. The book will most likely be about how Oprah left her mother's house at 14 when she was pregnant to live with her father in Nashville.
Obviously Oprah doesn't care! She probably is helping him with it to paint herself in a "good" light. I mean she could easily tell her daddy "don't write the book and I'll buy you Vermont."
PS – That's a wax Oprah! Bet you couldn't tell the diff!
