Oprah Winfrey paid a fortune to Apple TV + chiefs to buy back the rights to a documentary about her life, Page Six can reveal.

Apple announced with great fanfare Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald would be directing the documentary about the talk show host turned media mogul back in 2021.

However, sources tell Page Six that Macdonald, who teamed up with Winfrey’s longtime producer Lisa Erspamer on the project, had clashed with the 70-year-old billionaire after he finished the film, and it’s been on hold ever since. “Kevin made the film, but Oprah didn’t like it and he refused to change it, and Oprah has paid back her fee to Apple,” a well-placed Hollywood source told us.

There will be bootlegged copies. In 2024, there is a large chance that it will be spread around no matter how much she pays..

It sounds like she paid pack the fee they paid her for the rights. It doesn’t mean much. They should have asked for $1 Billion.

I bet its because she is as fat as a freight train! I wouldn’t want a movie about me if I was that fat.

She’s really deep into the P Daddy thing. Rumor is that she’s checked into a hospital as she will probably be named in the law suit.

She has been referred to as a “gatekeeper” , if a black musician, actress/actor, comedian was seeking a job , a role, a part, Oprah was one of the controllers. Tyler Perry was another one.

Oddly enough , black men had to wear a dress, strange , eh ? That was one of the requirements.

Comedian Katt Williams, not exactly everyone’s cup of tea, however, Williams did an interview with Shannon Sharpe, a retired NFL player. Williams calls out Combs, Oprah, Perry, Weinstein…..

“Diddy wants to party ….. You’ve got to tell him NO ! “ has become a meme .

The interview is long @ 2:46:00 and focuses on the the black stand up comic scene, Hollywood, and the rap music scene

That interview has had 74 million views on YouTube

Williams went on to say that 2024 would be the year that all would be revealed and the deviants were going down.

These people are all FAKE, they create an image to their liking and market it, just like Kamala.
