Thank you Bruce Willis

I never expected to say those words but in this case they fit. Along with, Oprah Winfrey is a hypocrite. First off, I read James Frey's novel, A Million Little pieces. I read it before all the "shocking allegations". The book is a great book. Were the facts indulged? Who knows. If they were indulged was it Frey or his publisher that created the madness? Who cares. I thnk people are so ridiculous with all of this! Out of every person who has lied, cheated and stole in this world, Oprah is going to turn on Frey? How does that make any sense.

Oprah has interviewed Clinton, Tom Cruise and Chappelle. She allowed them to grossly understate, or overstate in Cruise's case, whatever issue they were on for. She didn't call them out or try to belittle them. Instead she brings Frey back on her show in an attempt to "show her displeasure at being lied to". Bull

I think Oprah is a coward who only attacked Frey for ratings and to save her book club but never had the courage to ask the real tough questions when it mattered. Instead she used her show to manipulate and humiliate a relatively new to the spotlight writer to make herself look so high and mighty. Instead, in my book, she made herself look like a fool.

And for Mr. Frey, despite the hypocritical statements about your work, your book was a wonderfully written story, whether true or fictional or somewhere in between, that touched my heart and will stay with me. Which is much more then Oprah or many other people can say.
