Drama!! New Kitty Kelley biography claims that Gayle King is hating on Michelle Obama

[marie]

November 30, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just learned that famed biographer Kitty Kelley is writing a new unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey. In it, Kelley makes the same old accusations against O - Stedman cheating, drugs, depression, etc.

But MediaTakeOut.com also learned that Kitty also sheds some light on Oprah's relationship with Michelle Obama. And apparently Gayle has been throwing some major shade at our First Lady.

Here's what's in the book:

"From the moment Barack decided to campaign for the presidency, Michelle said it was essential that Oprah be brought onboard," said the source.

"After Oprah gave her support to Barack, she and Michele grew very close. They have a lot in common and Michelle quickly became part of Oprah's very small inner circle."

"As she came to have more influence over Oprah, Gayle King started to feel as though she was being pushed out."

"Gayle has been Oprah's closest confidante for most of her life, and she couldn't believe she was being replaced. To make matters worse, Michelle deliberately excluded Gayle from conversations and plans."

"Gayle was so hurt, she went to Barack to plead her case, hoping he'd rein Michelle in. He listened, but there was no way he could or would interfere. And now Oprah is angry with Gayle because she can't see what all the fuss is about."

Gayle ... girl ... you need to stop your hating and let O and Michelle become best friends. You know ain't nobody want to see your long azz face in the White House anyways....

I knew Oprah was going to be a problem for Obama.

Michelle deliberately excluded Gayle from conversations and plans."

Sorry Gayle, but somehow I don't think Michelle expected, wanted, or needed a two-for-one deal when she brought Oprah in.

How would anyone know this information outside of the 3 women?

[msdeb]

i cannot stand Gayle King ... nope not one bit. she overestimates her importance in peoples lives.

[cupcake]

I dont believe that story. Gayle doesnt strike me as the type that would be jealous over Oprahs friendhip with someone else. She seems pretty confident

[tulip]

I don't believe this either. There's no way Michelle ever said "you need Oprah."

[A*O]

But does this book answer THE question about Oprah and Gayle? Kelley says that Oprah's relationship with Stedman is merely window dressing. No surprises there.

[McJag]

I going to read the book first.

[Lily]

Michelle Obama rocks my socks. Gayle doesn't. Hasn't she ridden on Pope-rah's coattails long enough?

[Palermo]

Can't wait to read this one, it will be better than the Tom Cruise disappointment

[Grimmlok]

what does Gayle DO for a living?

[Sweetie]

^ About as much as Oprah does for society.

what does Gayle DO for a living?

She used to be a journalist. Nowadays I think she's just Oprah's best friend. Nice work if you can get it.
