What is relevant is that he was a drug addict, says talk show host. An online publication is alleging that Frey's best-selling memoir about substance abuse, "A Million Little Pieces," wildly exaggerates his past, with inflated claims about his criminal record and about his involvement in an accident that killed two high school students.

The 'Emotional' truth? LOL - Yet another redefinition of a word and a concept brought to you by the usual suspects.
Oprah will never admit to a wrongdoing. You have her word on it.
I would take Oprah's opinion on food addiction....but that's about it.
Truth is whatever you make it these days.
Just another chapter of popular insanity.
Ahhh...man...when I read it I was thinking "FAKE but ACCURATE"...you beat me to the post.
Oprah and this liar are ridicules
Seriesly, they are hugh mow-rons. ;)
Perfect democrat.
Even Random House is refunding the purchase price to anyone who bought the book and wants to return it.
Having at times off and watched Oprah, I recall her telling the world that she got into the broadcast profession because she wanted to 'TELL THE TRUTH.'
She wanted to be TRUTH TELLER.
I swear these people are the biggest bags of wind. Amazing going to bat for a guy like this giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I bet she's so sure that Bush lied.
What's with the hair? How does Oprah get access to a NASA wind tunnel?
Too Stoopid to live.
What do people see in this talentless shrew?
She feels their pain.
Words fail me that people believe this crap.
"LOLOL.......oh yes. It's true even tho it's a lie.
"Perfect democrat."
You got that right!!
Frey told them a story that fit their perceptions of the world and they bought it hook, line and sinker.
And they're too "involved" in the story to admit it is all a lie despite line by line proof it is total fiction.
Perfect democrat indeed!
Random House is refunding everyone's money and yet Oprah continues to defend the indefensible.
Simply boggles the mind.
Oprah feels people's pain.
Does Oprah extend her definition of "truth" to what's written about her in the tabloids? Didn't think so.
