James Frey Caused Oprah to Gain Weight

Posted on March 31, 2006

The National Enquirer reports that the damage that author James Frey wreaked upon Oprah Winfrey apparently lingers on. Distressed by the horrific Frey incident, Oprah has been stress-eating and has gained back 32 lbs. And you know if The Enquirer said it, it must be true.

Oprah Winfrey is facing a new weight battle � the talk show queen has packed on 32 lbs and, pals say, needs to stop before she's out of control. Sources close to Oprah have told The National Enquirer she has privately blamed her weight gain on stress and her fondness for junk-food snacks.

The recent pressure stems from the controversy that erupted over a book she promoted that turned out to be a fake. Oprah has also recently been dwelling on a failed romance with a married man that ended bitterly 25 years ago � memories triggered by the feelings of betrayal she experienced in the scandal of the James Frey book A Million Little Pieces.

On her February 23 show, 52- year-old Oprah � possibly sensing her audience had noticed a weight gain � admitted that she's a compulsive eater. She said: "I have an eating addiction that I am constantly trying to control. I know that there have been instances where... I'm eating to repress my feelings."

Yeah -- feelings of betrayal from that lying scum James Frey. You know, it's one thing to lie to your editor. And another thing to lie to millions of fans about your not so drug-addicted past. But to make Oprah gain back some of that weight she so painstakingly lost: well, that's just beyond the pale. No punishment is too great for such a transgression. Hang in there, Oprah!
