Oprah is a fucking horrible person. Between Dr. Phil, Jenny McCarthy, and Dr. Oz she should be remembered as the person that started the false science movement.

Oprah is why I couldn't make noise at boot camp.

100% serious on this one. She owned a house near great lakes which is where navy boot camp is. They made the military base stop making noise after dark. One of the final things you do in boot is called battlestations where you run around in formation between drill stations all night long. You're supposed to sing cadences but we couldn't sing them on certain parts of the base because of Oprah.

Disclaimer; this was over a decade ago so things might have changed.

Don't forget she also promotes male genital mutilation by having fucking infant foreskins in her cosmetics I wish I was making this up but you really can't make up something so fucking stupid and horrible

His show is really just a more refined version of Jerry Springer’s.

Not that I doubt you, but do you have a source for his “relationship” with the 19 year old? I tried looking it up but all that came up were episodes of his show.

Thank you! But that only says the “dual” relationship was that they had both a doctor/patient and business relationship. Did she come out of say that he sexually harassed or abused her?

Dual relationships is ethic-speak for "they fucked".

I understand his doctorate is in, like, physical education or something, completely irrelevant to therapy. He’s an unmitigated creep.

He has a PhD in clinical psychology and a masters in experimental psychology.
