She did say that in her opinion,Vernon was O's father, because of the callouses on their feet.
I, however, have always wondered about this guy:
Attachments
Well according to this she is only 5 years older than Oprah.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Unfaithful: Barbara's marriage fell apart when she discovered Vernon cheated on her with a prostitute named 'One Tooth.'
That's gotta hurt.

exactly
and this is a woman scorned....as the Daily Beast said, her stories SB taken with a grain (or a whole shaker) of salt
There could be some truth to some of it but in any case, just because Oprah is wealthy doesn't mean she has to support this woman for life.
and there it is!
nobody wants to be told what they should do with there money just because they have more than enough of it. :lolots:
I don't understand these people wronged by the parent of a celeb who feel it's the celeb's duty/right to take care of them simply because they're rich. Same with Beyonce's brother from another mother.
Not saying you're not entitled to your opinion or suggesting less than earnest in your feelings but whenever I hear/read someone speak like this I always wonder a little bit what would that same person say if she were a man. I've learned the hard way many times over that when women are assertive/confident they are labeled as arrogant; when men are assertive/confident they are labeled as a good business man. Often a subject of business-y women conferences and it's very true.
I've been in meetings where I've purposely said the exact same thing a man has said...exact...verbatim...same tone, same context, same overly-confident posture and received "guidance" that I come across brash or full of myself or something to that effect. I once pointed out to one of my male bosses who gave me said "guidance" that I said the same thing our big boss (white male) said who he agreed with...why exactly was it different coming from me (black female)...he had no words. Since then I've learned how to say the same things without being perceived as such but it's really really hard and frustrating to have to do...it has to be turned on/off.
In any event, I don't know Oprah so I couldn't comment...this woman's story sounds a bit fraud though and she's looking for cash. Why couldn't her lawyers negotiate a better settlement for her if her husband cheated? Why didn't her lawyers say in exchange for signing a confidentiality agreement, here's what we want for our client? Her lawyers gave up that easy...on a target like Oprah. The entire beef industry was ready to take all that Oprah had and this woman's lawyers just gave up. Sure! Suspect written all over it...

Thank you!
Also, if this woman was a teacher/principal where is her money/pension/401K? Why does a woman her age need such a big house? Move on to a condo and stop blaming your step daughter who is not obligated to do anything for you. If Oprah was footing the bills when they were married, her a$$ should have been letting her money collect interest.
she's used to living well and doesn't want to give it up
I believe I read or heard that Oprah offered to get her a more modest home but apparently she want to continue living large
That's what I read too. She was offered a house that Oprah was willing to buy her outright but didn't want it because it wasn't as big. Then they offered the house she lost. She didn't want that either.
