Oprah Winfrey made her first public remarks about Kitty Kelly’s controversial new book about her, deriding it as a “so-called biography.”
Winfrey spoke Monday at The New York Women in Communications Matrix Awards, where she presented an award to pal Gayle King.
Winfrey described King as a friend who “sometimes cares about my life more than I do,” and told the audience last week “was a rough one” for King when a “so-called biography came out.”
“Gayle got herself worked out with all my new daddies coming out,” said Winfrey of Kelly’s claims in the book that Vernon Winfrey is not her biological father.
While the audience responded with loud applause, Winfrey smiled and concluded, “This, too, shall pass.”
