CNN reports that the matron at Oprah Winfrey’s school in South Africa who was allegedly abusing the girls in her care was arrested by South African police. Oprah has released a statement thanking them for their help.
People Magazine put together their own report and made the claim that Oprah has promised to buy all the girls at her school cell phones and has given them all her direct number so they can call her whenever they need to.
To actually get to Oprah Winfrey at all would take a lot of god damned work let alone get her phone number. I mean, there are probably people out there who feel really accomplished if they manage to get a meeting with say, her seventieth in command. Giving out her direct line to the kids must mean this is a hard core serious liability for Oprah.
But the interesting thing will be how Oprah deals with the phone calls from kids who really don’t have anything to say, they’re just bragging to their friends in the desert about how they can call Oprah whenever they want.
This is becoming Oprah’s Achilles Heel. They call up and she’s in a board room running say, all culture in the northern hemisphere and she looks at the number and thinks, “I’ll let it go to voicemail” and then she remembers the unpleasantness. So, she has to stop the board meeting and answer and hear about how hot Corey Feldman and Ricky Schroeder are because South Africa only just got License to Drive and Silver Spoons.
This might be the point where Oprah starts to slip a bit. Not because she’s responsible for the abuse but because now she’s a South African poor smart girl’s bitch. [source]
