Oprah Faces Backlash Over Bezos Wedding While Promoting Wally Lamb Novel

The fuss around Oprah posting on Instagram showering praise on Wally Lamb's novel 'I Know This Much Is True' took an odd twist when...

Others attacked about, “What does Wally Lamb think of attending a wedding paid for by a company that profits off of no taxes while exploiting the hardworking poor?” The backlash went from subtle to downright harsh, with many accusing Oprah of forgetting her beginnings as she now swings with the ultra-rich. Conversely, some comments managed to take quite the philosophical turn, one cryptically stating, “Proof race starts with something that did not exist before it… this concludes God exists.” Another: “There is a chosen man in order for the happy globe not to end the world.” Things became quite weirdly flavored with those remarks; however, they mostly became a footnote to the Political and social critiques weighing down on them. Whether this backlash will translate into a lasting dent in Oprah’s public image is something that will be decided further down the road; however, at present, the whole Bezos-scandal thing has already become a personal sore point for many of her older fans.
