Oprah flip-flops on defense of author

Oprah reversed her defense of "A Million Little Pieces" today on her talk show and said 'she felt duped'.

She also apologized for the Larry King phone call. Only a couple of weeks ago she called into the Larry King show and adamantly defended the author and the book. I have to say, I was disappointed that Oprah felt that way - but, her opinion.

However, I'm much more disappointed in Oprah now! Come on!! Why the change? Could it be because this is the first time in her career that her view point is being questioned? Apparently, even fans on her website wrote in to tell her they didn't agree with what he did. Is she suffering from some sort of backlash now? Perhaps, she's worried about some in the future.

It's one thing to write that novel - it's another to pass it off as your own experience as a catalyst to try and help others.

Either way - I wish Oprah had taken this stance at the beginning - or stayed true to her defense of him.
