Biographer: Oprah Called Self Teen Prostitute Kelley: Winfreys unreleased autobiography detailed adolescent promiscuity
Kitty Kelley, author of a new unauthorized tell-all about Oprah Winfrey, said that the powerful talk-show host has many closely held secrets, and that she called herself a teen prostitute in a 1993 autobiography that she withheld from publication because it revealed too many of them.
In her 23-year-career as Americas most influential national talk-show host, theres seemingly little that Oprah Winfrey hasnt shared with her loyal viewers. From weight battles and romantic ups and downs to dark childhood secrets, the 56-year-old Winfrey has earned a reputation for candor about her own life.
But Kitty Kelley, the celebrity biographer who developed a reputation as a lightning rod for controversy with her tell-alls on Nancy Reagan and Frank Sinatra, says that Oprahs life is nonetheless choked with secrets, and she digs them out in her new book, Oprah: A Biography. Speaking with Matt Lauer on TODAY Monday, Kelley said that in researching her book, she was afforded the opportunity to peruse Winfreys own 1993 autobiography, a book Oprah ultimately decided not to release and that in it, she referred to herself as a prostitute during her troubled, wild adolescence.

I don’t give a damn! Oprah is about to become a “has been”!
"New tell-all shocker reveals ALL the secrets Oprah doesn't want YOU to know! His other men - her other women -- The Big O reveals all in shocking new book!"
I am so excited, I wee-weed!
She should be tried and imprisoned for her crimes against our nation, and her wealth siezed and redistributed in the form of a cash gift solely to the “producers” in America.
Tired of hearing about Tiger. Time for all you
Oprah customers to step forward. You know who
you are!
Oprah who?
Just a bit older.
I think Kristie Alley and Oprah would make a very large cute couple.
Does Stedman know?
I’m open to the argument that Oprah Winfrey has not been a perfect little angel. Seeing what she’s done to, for example, the Reagans, Kitty Kelley is not necessarily the most credible author to make that argument.
I guess Steadman is not a STUD MAN
Oprah was a teen prostitute?
Carrying around all those quarters must be why she has such broad shoulder.
Not like I am a fan of Oprah, but please double-check the article for the name of the moronic bitch that wrote this “biography”. Kitty Kelly is a nutjob.
Now I feel like 1/2 a man for having somewhat defended Oprah. I hate Monday.
SO WHAT? Makes her story even more compelling..in America you can come from any background and become as successful as your dreams.
What I really want to know is when is Obama going to cap her pay???
Well, Debbie Schlussel does call her Ho’prah. I guess she wasn’t far from the truth at all!
It’s sad that so many women in this nation look to her for guidance.
I’m no fan of Oprah, but Kitty Kelly makes it up as she types it.
Does that mean she was selling her Va Jay Jay?
