Called her out for something she had absolutely no reason to get involved in?

Or are you just glad someone criticized Oprah, even if the reason for the criticism isn't valid?

Now I've heard it all--he shouldn't have called out Winfrey because it would have been wrong to expose his victims without their consent.

Newsflash: She wouldn't have had to expose his victims by fingering the guy as a pervert, or, gee...not finding every opportunity to schmooze him publicly.

The REAL issue, and probably Seal's, is the hypocrisy of this crowd. How's this: treat the perv like a pariah...which she didn't choose to do.

It's clear what was going on within the industry. Winfrey, Streep, and a host of others were fixers for Pervy Weinstein, and it went on for decades.

^^^^^This^^^^^

The fact that she made her speech is just an "after the fact" moment of her jumping on the bandwagon. Of course her cult following sees it differently.

Treating the man with the power like a pariah ends up hurting the wrong people. It wouldn't have affected him.

lol. The OP isn't the one being challenged. It's......................YOU!


I don't know squat about Seal other than that he was married to What'sHerName, but there's no doubt whatsoever that Oprah deserves to be slammed. Having spent the majority of my adult life working in a largely male environment, there's no way on Planet Earth that there's anyone with an IQ over 10 that didn't know about Weinstein. So if Oprah didn't know, she's dumb as a pebble. I've never considered her all that bright, but you know this kind of thing when you're around it.


She knew.

I'm the one challenging the OP.


Even if Oprah knew, it wasn't her place to call him out. She didn't have first hand knowledge, and it's the victims' choice whether or not to go public.

Funny how all of these people claim not to care what celebs think hang onto every word they say and talk and get up into a furor over it.

I guess some of these folks clapping for Seal think he's going to become some Conservative mouthpiece.

Still love and respect Seal and Oprah both.

Posters are just responding to a comment that Seal made about Oprah. How does that translate into hanging onto every word celebrities say, and how is this a Liberal/Conservative issue?
