Oprah Winfrey - “I Am Not A Lesbian”

Oprah Winfrey
I'm no lesbian' cried the talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, In an interview with Barbara Walters. Oprah Winfrey dismissed rumors that she"s lesbian when asked about her close relationship with best friend Gayle King

"I am not even kind of lesbian" quoted unmarried Winfrey and declared herself frustrated that gay rumors have been continuously following the pair.

"I have said we are not gay enough times." she said.

"The reason why it irritates me is somebody must think I''m lying. Why would you want to hide it? That''s not the way I run my life," the billionaire Oprah Winfrey said.

Earlier in the Barbara Walters interview, Oprah Winfrey struggled to put into words how much Gayle King means to her life.

"She is the mother I never had; she is the sister everybody would want; she is the friend that everybody deserves. I don''t know a better person," Oprah Winfrey said through tears.

When asked why the talk show queen could not maintain her composure, Winfrey called for tissues to staunch the tears.

"I wasn't going to cry here. It''s making me cry because I''m thinking about how much I probably have never told her that," she said.
