Hot Fan Discussions on Oprah’s Website

You read an open letter from a fan to Oprah Winfrey. This topic has received more than 400 responses from other fans. Fans are protesting the broadcast schedule for the interview with Lisa Marie, which will air right after two programs about sexual abuse, and they believe it was done intentionally.

Here’s a look at some of the viewpoints:

- I wish you had also mentioned the jokes you made in your recent interview with Lisa Marie Presley about the marriage to Michael—and then you both laughed.

- Michael never said anything bad about anyone in his lifetime, but he always heard bad things. In no interview did he stand up against anyone else. He never attacked you the way you attacked him. He was only trying to spread love, and he always did. He gave people more joy and love than you did. And you, along with others, caused him pain and suffering. Imagine a good man depicted as a devil—accused of a disgusting crime, constantly insulted, and mocked every day. If such a kind and gentle person gets insomnia, is that strange? With the chaos you were also part of, this beautiful gift from God was destroyed. You will be judged for this one day.

- After the accusations you made against Michael over the years, you finally arranged a memorial program for him. (after Michael’s death, September 16, 2009)—but contrary to what we thought, instead of taking back your accusations, during that program you only talked about your personal feelings after carrying out the 1993 interview with Michael Jackson.

- By arranging these two interviews, you’re only thinking about finishing the final chapter of your show with the highest ratings.

- Do you expect Lisa to become anxious and flustered under media pressure this time as well, just like her presence in your show in 2003, when she was the former wife of Michael?

- Why don’t you interview Michael’s senior lawyer in the 2005 trial, Thomas Mesereau? Maybe because your executives care less about the truth about Michael Jackson than about the media’s “trash” that is sold as truth.

- What else does Lisa Marie Presley want to say that we don’t know right now?

- The FBI followed Michael for 15 years and interrogated every child who happened to be near him, and found nothing. Michael Jackson’s fans and children deserve to hear Oprah’s apology.

- We Michael Jackson fans won’t stop trying until we receive the respect and love he deserves.

- I’ve always been your fan and follower. I defended you and stood by your side. But now I get anxious just hearing your name. Michael made me start a food drive for the hungry. He was innocent, and I wish you would investigate this. People like you killed our king.

- I’m sorry for what happened to you as a teenager (Oprah was a victim of sexual abuse), and I appreciate your fight against this crime. But you have to draw a bold line between that crime and Michael Jackson. Of course, you should have done it before his death. You condemned Michael on your TV show (in 2005) and you ignored the judge’s request to avoid media interference in this case. Contrary to the proof of Michael’s innocence, you never corrected your position on this matter.

- By agreeing to an interview with you, Katherine Jackson has given you another chance to make up for your mistake. Just because of her son.

But there are other viewpoints too. For example, someone wrote that if Michael were here, he would have asked his fans to face Oprah with love, and forgive her.
