OPRAH WINFREY: IF I’D HAD KIDS, THEY WOULD HAVE HATED ME

Oprah, 59, is confident that she made the right choice for her. “If I had kids, my kids would hate me,” Oprah told The Hollywood Reporter. ”They would have ended up on the equivalent of the Oprah show talking about me; because something [in my life] would have had to suffer and it would’ve probably been them.”

We find it hard to believe that Oprah’s kids would have ever hated her — everyone loves Oprah! — but it’s still not as though she hasn’t had an amazing influence over young people worldwide throughout her career. Most notably, her influence shines at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, the school she opened in South Africa in 2007.
