That is not so nice :/
This morning, I got to see Oprah's not-so-nice side on her 5-6 am show. She reinvited a woman she once invited for a review. This pretty woman, in her 50s, used to be a public high school guidance counsellor, who was later terminated from her job for posing nude for an XXX magazine. She did that because in her 50s, she needs validation for her self esteem. I do believe what she did is wrong. Dahla die kaunselor. If a counsellor could be lack of common sense camtu, camne yang lain? There are much better things to do to get validation. Then again, I do not know what it feels to be 50 kan. Oprah said that the nude photos is not the crucial matter here. What matters is how she responded to her inner need of self esteem. And how she ignored the little voice inside her not to do such thing. Oprah's words this morning is as always, remarkable. But what shocked me was her then reaction to the photos. She went like "Yuck yuck. Eurgh, Yuck". And more, she showed the pix to her audience, without the poor woman's permission. That is not so nice. Mase tu rase Oprah macam exploit hidup org lain for juicy stories. And the poor woman pun kata, what made her angry was not the way Oprah scolded and attacked her, but Oprah's reaction to the photos. She could have be more considerate. I think so too. Cut that poor woman some slack. She must be suffering some kind of mental infirmities [I mean, why else would a guidance counsellor do that kan?] Let her rehabilitate. Takyahla humiliate die lagi kan. Nevertheless, Oprah was very genuine and sincere. I still think what Oprah did was not so nice, tapi takpela, you still are my hero, Oprah Winfrey! :P
