We already knew Oprah wasn’t a big fan of most black folks but we didn’t know she had beef with Jesus too!

Oprah’s cousin Jo Baldwin is speaking out about how her rich cuzzo fired her for loving Jesus and the terrible way Harpo treats her own family…

Shortly after Oprah Winfrey became a national sensation she hired her first cousin Jo Baldwin to be her speechwriter. Later she promoted Baldwin to VP of her company Harpo Inc.

“When I received my PhD in 1985 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Oprah asked me where I was going to work,” said Jo Baldwin in the summer of 2010. “I said I would be applying for a position at Ebony magazine as a copy editor. Oprah said she did not like Linda Johnson Rice [owner of Ebony] and I should come to work for her instead. So I did.”

“I was to work for her for three years, but she fired me without notice after two years… I heard from someone later that she got rid of me because she got tired of me talking about Jesus all the time… Oprah preferred the teachings of Shirley MacLaine’s books, such as Dancing in the Light and Out on a Limb, which Oprah made me read but I didn’t think much of.”

Baldwin isn’t the only relative who has been put off by her famous family member. The common consensus among Winfrey’s clan is that Harpo don’t love them!

The power of Oprah’s vast wealth makes most of her relatives quake. They want to be part of the luxurious life that she offers on occasion (her lavish Christmas presents, her birthday checks, even her hand-me-downs) but they chafe at the way she has dismissed them since becoming famous and they know that she does not cherish them as family. She prefers instead her celebrity friends. Oprah holds Maya Angelou as the mother she should’ve had; she sees Sidney Poitier as her father, Quincy Jones as her uncle, and Gayle King as her beloved sister.

Jo Baldwin became estranged from her famous relative who continues to put distance between herself and her blood relations. Oprah will not give her mother, Vernita Lee, her personal phone number. If her mother needs to call Oprah, she must call the studio and talk to Oprah’s producers.

‘”The family is tangled with so many secrets and so much fear,” said Baldwin. “I admit I was afraid of Oprah for 20 years. Absolutely terrified. She’s powerful and dangerous. She told me if I ever opened my mouth [about what I know] she’d sue my pants off.”

“Mainly, Oprah wanted to shame me for being a follower of Jesus as if to say, ‘What is He doing for you that’s so great?’ Oprah inflicts emotional wounds that could lead to physical illness, if they aren’t healed. My faith has kept me from getting sick [over her].”

Oprah ain’t got no love for Jesus Or her own family That’s a damn shame!

why are u saying this? Go to YouTube and watch Opra's old tapes "The Church of Opra" she is Anti-Christ, she has the mark.

That Woman is a beast that's why she refused to marry (cant you reason it) can a woman spend her life without having a felling of man in her life "she is a monster"

The fact that she is not married does not mean she doesn't have a lover. she has a dude that she leaves with but is not married to!

She is not married but she has been in a committed relationship for a long time.

Winfrey and her partner Stedman Graham have been together since 1986. They were engaged to be married in November 1992, but the ceremony never took place.

I hate to be supersticious but Oprah poses to be a free thinker, why hate someone for religious association?

Unbelievable.

you dont get to be oprah rich by hanging with black country folk

I agree that there is more to Oprah's love life than meets the eye.

I would also fire any employee that preaches about Jesus all the time.

Oprah isn't the first celebrity that would behave so irrational about Christianity or believing Jesus as a topic, neither is she the tenth,  Everything that happens now looks like a prophecy being accomplished. Am not her fan anyway!!! but i just wonder why God place such people in the hall of fame,  When many heart are truly ready.

who told you God placed her in the hall of fame ? you do know that God has no control over what happens in this world right ? the world belongs to the prince of darkness.

Na wa ooo, She don't want to hear about Jesus Christ and to add it up, her mother can not call her directly because she is too big for her mother. No wonder, she is not married, she don't have a kid that is why she don't know the value of a mother.

what is d essence of wealth if u can`t take good care of ur immediate family?

Who told you God has no control over the earth? God created the world and he has perfect control over the earth, I think Jesus been God, is a story created by the Jews, dey even claim God/Jesus came to this earth as Jews Man, why not Igbo man? or Yoruba man?

This yeye Oprah wey dey miss interpret bible? I'm not surprised.

She doesn't care about Jesus and her family, so why cry to the press about it? Cos u were paid a few thousands right? Bloody loser. It's incredible how amazong money is. Once one becomes wealthy, EVERYONE wants to be your 'friend'. . .including family and relatives that treated you badly when you were nobody. Only the ones you shun would turn around to yarn dust about how 'bad' and 'wicked' you are and all that B.S.

Oprah is not a mere human. She is an INSTITUTION. If one can become that successful despite hating Jesus, then what more could anyone gain by loving Jesus? It's all very confusing right now. I'm just being the Devil's Advocate here.

Whats so fantastic about Oprah? its well known she has Jesus-phobia (i wonder why) She once said, "Jesus is just one of the ways to God" and Benny Hinn lashed her for that.
Left for me, there's nothing fantastic about her shows. Who watch it anyway?

I wouldn't allow any imam priest rabbi shama or employee talk religion on work place Yes I will fire him/her

even her face looks like a monster,no wonder i have never devout my 1min of my time for her stupid show
