Seal calls out Oprah over her friendship with Harvey Weinstein

What did I say yesterday? I predicted numerous threads about 'Oprah was photographed with Weinstein".

Thanks, but no thanks, OP.

And this is why she can't run for president. She's also besties with Revolta, known to harass straight and gay masseurs. And then there is Gayle.

I just thought this coming from Seal was random and weird, R1.

I haven’t visited any of the Oprah threads so I didn’t see your prediction.

Ha ha. Eat it Okra!

Oprah knew what the score was in HW. She desperately wants an Oscar. She was just lucky she had more money then them and wasn't attractive. She had her own power. But she didn't use it to protect others because she was desperate for an Oscar, like every other actress who kept their mouth shut. I think she even bought Revolta a Rolls Royse for his birthday once. Gotta get in good with the Scientology crowd.

R5 why the fuck would he need a Rolls? I like her, but that's a dumb bitch move! That money could have been spent much better.

Lol like for all the "free" car audience members who couldn't pay the TT&L on those shitty Pontiacs.

So Seal is turning into Roseanne Barr now I see. How would Oprah know anything about Harvey Weinstein? Do you know how freaked out Oprah gets when it comes to sexual assault? Had she heard anything she would have been the one to blow the whistle. Seal is ridiculous.

R5, Oprah doesn’t mess around when it comes to sexual assault or molestation.

And when it comes to image, Oprah wouldn’t become a member of Obama’s church because of his pastor’s past rhetoric. She’s a smart business woman. On a personal level anything to do with sexual assault freaks her out and she also foresees what will potentially tarnish her reputation in the future. Bottom line, she wouldn’t have dealt with Harvey had she had any knowledge that something was going on.

Oh, bullshit to those of you who don't think she played the game, which includes looking the other way, to get to where she is.

Oprah’s not in the Hollywood game

She should have gotten an Oscar for her supporting role in The Color Purple. And Whoopi deserved the award for best actress.

[quote]why the fuck would he need a Rolls? I like her, but that's a dumb bitch move!

You haven't noticed how incredibly materialistic Oprah is?

And why didn't *you* say anything, Seal? Tearing women down while they're on top isn't a good look, you ugly motherfucker.

He must have been bumped from her show once because an A-lister became available and is still sore or something. Trash.

Ahh, yes, the latest in the Republicans' games of guilt-by-association: anyone who ever heard the name "Harvey Weinstein" is just as bad as Harvey himself, is complicit in his crimes, and must be stoned (and not in the good way).

Oprah doesn’t go after people in the same power bracket as she is.

Um.

R15 yes, even her he could of had blacklisted

They got divorced in 2014, R16.

Perhaps one of his wives/girlfriends had issues with Weinstein- or he had issues with Oprah?

Yeah, they're divorced but there are a bunch of pics of Heidi kissing Harvey. So Seal is calling out Oprah won't call out his ex-wife?

One could certainly argue that rumors shouldn't be enough grounds for someone like Oprah to cut ties with someone like Weinstein and publicly call him out. But in Weinstein's case, as we all know, there were more than "rumors" even before the recent tide of allegations that did him in. Same with some of these other people, for example, Israel Horovitz.

Rich people like Oprah didn't let knowledge of perviness stop them from partying with fellow 1 percenters like David Geffen. That's why I don' think she'll be running.

Seal's wife worked for Harvey Weinstein. Project Runway was a Weinstein production.

Maybe Seal is trying to get back at his ex-wife by spotlighting her association with Weinstein.

Seal was born in London. Is he an American citizen?

There's a difference between a random rumor and numerous public accounts. People make shit up. Like it or not as a public figure you have to pick and choose what to believe. Now if you tell me a starlet came forward to Oprah and asked her to intervene in some way then that's a completely different story. Random vague rumors of promiscuity and quid pro quo aren't really enough to stop doing business with someone. I think the Meryl issue is that she may have had direct knowledge and shielded her daughters in some way from him.

Promiscuity isn't a problem, R27. It's Weinstein-like stories. Or stories of pool parties with the naked, disposable 15-year old children of the 99% surrounded by middle-aged 1 percenters. There's a class war component in the MeToo# movement.

Looks like it, R26

[quote]Seal was born in London. Is he an American citizen?

That’s not really the point, Oprah knew!

Thanks, R29

r7 Oh my, the lies on dl, sad.

[quote]Ahh, yes, the latest in the Republicans' games of guilt-by-association: anyone who ever heard the name "Harvey Weinstein" is just as bad as Harvey himself, is complicit in his crimes, and must be stoned (and not in the good way).

Hmmm. I didn't know Seal was a Republican. Or Rose McGowan. Or Kathy Griffin. Or Elizabeth Moss Or most of Twitter. Interesting.

[quote] Ahh, yes, the latest in the Republicans' games of guilt-by-association:

Yes retard, when I picture a republican operative, this image comes immediately to mind.

R21,

Maybe because his wife isn’t a fake self righteous cunt like Okra.

What were the details on those less than ideal reports from the girls middle school Oprah set up in some poor African region? Something about the teachers abusing the girls. It looked like such a noble thing to do with her money.

R21 Probably because his ex wife isn't rumored to be running for president, dude. Many (almost all) played the game, looked away or where part of the game. It's the fact that people (not even Oprah herself at this point - at least not officially) are treating Oprah as the savior and future president despite her being part if this just as much. Heidi Klum is meaningless.

*were

Seal has shit on his face.

Seal the singer with the facial scars? Once married to Heidi Klum? Is there another Seal I don’t know about? Why does he give a fuck?

WHO THE FUCK is Seal to be criticizing Oprah when he willingly took $$ to sing for a leader who denies human rights? This was the same event where Hilary Swank was ripped apart but Seal got a pass.

For an added point Seal hash-tagged the post with '#SanctimoniousHollywood.'

Can anybody deny that fits Oprah to a T ?

His ex wife is a beard

#OprahKnew

If Seal knew she knew then he knew as well.

[quote]And this is why she can't run for president.

Like she would have run anyway.

Why would a seal do anything like that? Are there seals on the beach that she knows? Was this a seal friendship from when she was heavier? Maybe she hung around the seals and let some information out.

Seals are untrustworthy.

Of course Oprah knew. Meryl knew,and countless others feigning shock did. I live in bumfuck and even I knew, long before the shit hit the fan. Hollywood is the land of liars and great pretenders.

R48 = racist

I think Oprah is getting the backlash is because she had done that speech at the GG. Oprah KNEW as did I and I'm not even in Hollywood.

of course oprah knew, she and gayle talk on the phone every night for hours and hours, gossiping and talking about everything under the sun!

Oprah may not have known about the alleged rapes etc, but surely she must have heard about his MO. coming out of bathrooms with untied bathrobes, asking for massages, etc. She shouldn't have been buddy, buddy, with him. He is an asshole.

I would like to see men start accusing other men's complicity in Weinstein's sex scandal.

R53, why would she know about the bathrobes and the massages? Stop rewriting history, we all heard about that in October. There were rumors before the big unveiling in October but nothing specific. Just stop it. And Seal's an asshole who should have renewed heat for playing that concert for the Chechen bad guy. Glass houses.

Seal needs attention.

You guys are so desperate for a new pantsuit messiah you're shitting yourselves.

Problem 1: you're complete hypocrites. What happened to the folly of supporting a political novice, billionaire celebrity? (Hypocrisy is a familiar look though--remember when you guys had a hissy fit when anyone questioned Hillary's health? But then put "Russia" on the back burner to webMD Donald?)

Problem 2: Oprah is personally responsible for furthering so much anti-science, new age, beliefs and ideas it's shocking nobody ever takes her to task. Does she ever come out and say "sorry about that?" Nope, just believe hard enough and all your dreams will come true, vaccines cause autism, yoyo diets forever....until I settle down and marry one FREESTYLE!

This is not good. The answer to Trump stupid isn't Oprah stupid. And, people, she's stupid as he is.

Hey, remember when he floated her as his vp?

But what takes the cake... scratch that. What takes the burnt hot dogs covered in maple syrup is the delusion that Oprah Winfrey somehow--like your other queen Meryl--never knew Harvey Weinstein Harvey Weinsteined.

So you hate Hillary losing so much you'll throw away your dignity and scruples to prop up a billionaire quack!

What about hypocrite male actors like DiCaprio, Clooney and Pitt?

#HeKnew

#TarantinoKnew

no. those bathrobe stories and massages stories were shared among actresses. going to hotel rooms etc. those were known.

Seal blasted Oprah as 'part of the problem for decades' with sexual misconduct

cmon, this is the land of fucking bullshit. everyone knew and did nothing.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R58, is anyone talking about President Growing Pains Foster Kid, President Must See TV Doc, or President Hot Guy from Thelma & Louise?

But whataboutery? Why talk about how shitty Oprah is when you can be discussing the lost episodes of I Love Lucy or Aunt Milly's TV Guide Collection?

Loneliness is a killer.

DiCaprio is one of the biggest 2faced bastard out there. constantly talking about the environment but always begging to use the private jet. douche.

^ and his bearding strategy he has a new beard every week

Fair point.. he's not wrong.

Seal took money from Chechnya where they kill gays.

Seal for President

Singer/Songwriter Seal on Hollywood sex scandals: "Tell it like it is"

"Oprah’s not in the Hollywood game"

Riiiiight. She's an actress and producer out of Davenport, Iowa.

"Project Runway was a Weinstein production."

Soon to be renamed 'Project RunAway'.

I don't need his damn Seal of Approval!

O! No He Didn't!

But, she knew...that’s the problem.

Seal is 1000% correct!

I think Seal has a point and I like that he has no fucks to give about Oprah unlike all the sheeple licking her hiney like it is made of ice cream.

[quote] Of course Oprah knew. Meryl knew,and countless others feigning shock did. I live in bumfuck and even I knew, long before the shit hit the fan. Hollywood is the land of liars and great pretenders. —Oprah doesn't get a pass

Yeah yeah everyone knew, everyone, even the people who didn't know who the fuck Harvey was. We all continued to watch his movies and television programs. So we're all equally responsible for Mr. Weinstein's actions. Now you must all run out and donate to the Republican candidate or organization of your choice, to repent for your sins.

John Travolta and Oprah Winfrey

THE GIFT: A Rolls-Royce Corniche II convertible.

THE CIRCUMSTANCE: Travolta gave Oprah the 1988 car, valued at more than $350,000, to thank her for her friendship. (Oprah visited Travolta's home and admired the car so he later gave it to her.)

WHAT CAME NEXT: The talk show host and media mogul kept the Rolls at her home in Santa Barbara, California, until 2008, when she put it up for auction. Proceeds went to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.

Project Runaway

Klum, Thurman and Harvey

Who's the other woman? Geena Davis?

I wonder what Seal’s ex-wife thinks of all of this...

Is Seal friends with Trump?

Something smells fishy here.

Points well taken all around on hypocrisy and after-the-fact finger-pointing. Can we just agree that celebrities should just enjoy their fame and fortune and shut the fuck up? How much proof do we need that most of them can't morality themselves out of a paper bag ?

#SusanSarandonKnew

This is just a fucking witch hunt now. So Oprah is now responsible for the toxic and abusive behavior of a grown man who decides he wants to take advantage of the power he possess for sex and power over women. And this asshole seal wants to blame Oprah for Harvey's bad behavior? Did I get that right? Oh boy this country really is going to shit. TRUMP and now this #metoo garbage. Oprah isn't responsible for another grown person's bad behavior behind closed doors. FUCK SEALS UGLY ASS!!!! he's nothing but a fucking coon anyways. But he didn't say shit about his ex wife Heidi klum through. Keep tap dancing seal, you're an asshole for this one.

Oprah was best buddies with Travolta, she is a secret keeper and knew damn well about Weinstein. Oprah is for Oprah.

Seal: Penelope Ann Miller, Tatjana Patitz, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum. Delta Goodrem -

They all have stories to tell -

Oprah is not responsible for Harvey Weinsteins bad behavior. PERIOD! If she hears rumors and gossip about About him just as everyone else did. But never saw anything take place in front of her. Dosent have any proof, evidence, or anything tangible to prove the allegations. And she approaches Weinstein and ask him if he's guilty of any of things he's been accused of. And he says NO! Than what? And how does that make Oprah responsible for Harvey's bad behavior? I haven't met you person who can legitimately defined blaming Oprah for Weinstein's mess. All because Oprah happens to know him professionally and is photographed with him periodically at various industry events during awards season.

Ones again. Oprah is not responsible for Harvey Weinstein's bad behavior. PERIOD!

r94 thanks for visiting the DL Gayle

Lots of TRUMP supporters on this thread. Oprah is everything TRUMP supporters hate.

She's black!

She's a woman!

She's successful!

She's a billionaire!

And she holds a social position that most deplorables will never have or experience. And for that they hate her. What seal said about Oprah is just a reason for TRUMPSTERS to pounce on her and exercise their hatered of her. Fuck them all.

Here we go again, someone like R96 making this political when its just about power

r96 doesn't want to talk about the issues = why Trump won.

Shut up, Seal. Unless you lived in a bubble your entire career and never associated with anyone, I'm sure we can dig up pictures of you hanging out with a deplorable or two.

GTFOH

Not the point R99

We have women now talking about cleaning up the place and setting examples for how others can come forward after all these of knowing and being silent or not knowing and feeling ashamed.

If the greatest power players dont speak up about knowing and being silent and now speaking, others wont as easily either. Thank you Glenn Close.

Not so much Oprah and Meryl .

Amen!

[quote]Shut up, Seal. Unless you lived in a bubble your entire career and never associated with anyone, I'm sure we can dig up pictures of you hanging out with a deplorable or two.

Please don't call my friend Harvey a deplorable. I used that word for Americans who didn't want to vote for me. Let's save it for them!

And Oprah's "speech" at the Globes made me cringe .

She is acting

And poorly!

Weird.

She was acting in that speech. She went on for too long.....I think she add libbed the last part.

he been tryiing to wallk it back....

whata bozo

how did heidi klum stay with such a man for so long.

poor heidi

It must be awkward for movie stars nowadays when they have to be political...and comment on everything, rather than the old days when..ya know, they made films and talked about them? They should all for their own good shut up in this topic because they just dig themselves deeper.

So Seal didn't know?

So Seal didn't know? He just uses the opportunity to blame it all on women?

is he misogynistic?

Isn't he blaming Oprah AND the women who were attacked, too?

maybe he hadnt slept for, uh, a few days....

The part that annoys me in Oprah's speech is when She goes on about 'the LINOLIUM floor' she emphasised it as if to say...'yes we were that poor. ' She then mentioned her mum was a cleaner...like it was only black women who cleaned houses?

The 'sisterhood ' doesn't exist...it's a lie. It only exists at public events where a point is being made. Just saying.

Seal needs to get microdermabrasion therapy.

I like Oprah, I always have, and I never let the faux smears rub off on me.

At some point you have to make your own decisions based on your own thoughts. It’s called being an adult.

[Quote] Seal: Penelope Ann Miller, Tatjana Patitz, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum. Delta Goodrem -

Delta Goodrem???

Seal is from the UK? Yeah, well, where is he really from? One of those shithole countries? He's certainly not from Norway.

R107 social media has changed everything today. Whenever anything happens people want to hear what celebrities have to say about it too. We live in a different time from 15 to 20 years ago. Everyone has a voice now. Rather you're rich and famous or and average everyday person.

[quote]She then mentioned her mum was a cleaner...like it was only black women who cleaned houses?

Yeah, it left me wondering who cleans Oprah’s houses today.

R113 well a lot of black women were maids/house keepers for white people back then. My grandmother was and she have some stories to tell. And there not flattering either. When Oprah said that she was standing in her truth. That was the reality for lots of African Americans during the Jim Crow era. Why does that bother you so much? And are you European Because you used the word mum?

So did Seal know, and what did he do about it.

Seal is a hypocrite. What about his ex wife Heidi? Yeah he had nothing to say about her ass.

Like anyone should pay attention to a man whose name is Seal.

"Calling out" for attention is something only trashy people do. Anyone with a name and reputation to protect should probably at least consult with a psychiatrist before they type anything online.

[quote]So did Seal know, and what did he do about it.

He probably did, he just uses the situation to make himself look better than anybody else now. Fucking hypocrites!

Just like McGowan "I knew too, but I am better than anybody who knew and didn't do anything about it"

[quote] But in Weinstein's case, as we all know, there were more than "rumors" even before the recent tide of allegations that did him in.

"As we all know"?

I didn't know

R118 Maybe Normay. Or Nambia.

Seal is an asshole for many reasons.

Oprah's closest male friends are from NAMBLIA

Full circle.

R131 seal started this.

The psycho-wealthy are panicking bc they know universal health care and free/low cost education are on the progressive agenda, the base of the democratic party. They know that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will run and are very well-respected and popular within the county.

Oprah is a con artist who use to have a daytime talk show. She also backed Bill Crosby and Charlie Rose, in addition to Harvey Weinstein, when there were credible accusations of violence against woman. Oprah is a fraud.

BERNIE SANDERS

ELIZABETH WARREN

R133 please take you're meds. PLEASE!!!!!

Oprah is and always has been a total FRAUD. Sad that so many fraus have bought her fake feminist rhetoric for so many years. Smart women know the truth. Sadly, they make up about 1% of the population. We, the smart gays know as well. More to importantly, Oprah is as brutally ugly and fat as she is stupid. Narcissistic business acumen does not equal intelligence. See also Trump.

* More importantly

[quote]The 'sisterhood ' doesn't exist...it's a lie.

Kinda like the gay "community"?

R137 You are "here" you intellectual midget.
