Oprah Addresses Backlash Over Opinion On “Finding Neverland”
Oprah Winfrey appeared on Trevor Noah’s show last night to promote her new book, “The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life’s Direction And Purpose.” During her appearance, Oprah said she got a lot of “hateration” for her interviews with Michael Jackson’s accusers, who appeared in the Netflix documentary Leaving Neverland.
“I haven’t had that much hateration since I did the puppy episode with Ellen,” Oprah said, referring to the episode where Ellen DeGeneres “came out” as gay. “But when I saw that documentary, I realized that a lot of people are going to get triggered by watching it, and that a lot of people will not understand what the pattern is. I had done 217 shows trying to get people to understand that it’s not about one person, that it is about the pattern, it is about the seduction. People call it molestation, but there is a big seducing that goes on, and that was important enough for me to take the hateration for.”
Oprah has since deleted interviews with Michael Jackson’s accusers from her YouTube account. Netflix’s documentary on Jackson, Leaving Neverland, was supposed to air until September. Netflix quietly canceled the documentary after discrepancies emerged in the victims’ stories.
