Toni Braxton was interviewed by Oprah back in 1998 during her bankruptcy woos. She talks her experience about the interview about not liking how Oprah treated her. Here’s what she had to say.
She was so frickin’ mean to me, I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it because I loved her so much. I admired her and looked up to her and she pretty much reprimanded me, She said, ‘I hear you have Gucci flatware; I’m Oprah Winfrey and I don’t have Gucci flatware…’ You didn’t have Gucci flatware because you didn’t wanna buy it; it’s not because you couldn’t afford it. She made me feel this big.”
Unless I’m not reading this properly, but from what I understand from what Oprah meant, was simply that, she pointing out that you had enough money to waste on having the name brand shoes when clearly you money issues, you could have gone cheaper and not go bankrupt. Basically, manage your money well. Oprah isn’t there to baby you, but to give you that wake up call.
