Oprah Gail Winfrey is an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and philanthropist. She is best known for her talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, broadcast from Chicago, which was the highest-rated television program of its kind in history and ran in national syndication for 25 years, from 1986 to 2011.[1] Dubbed the "Queen of All Media",[2] she was the richest African-American of the 20th century,[3] and was once the world's only black billionaire,[4]. By 2007, she was sometimes ranked as the most influential woman in the world.[5][6]
She participated in The Good Club, a deep state milieu formed in 2009. Its members were 14 of the world's richest people, invited by Bill Gates "to save the world". The billionaires discussed joining forces to overcome political and religious obstacles to the change they want implemented, a reduction in overpopulation.

Harvey Weinstein
After Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was exposed as a sexual predator, he said Oprah called him to offer her support. TMZ reported[9] that Oprah called Weinstein to offer advice and support after the allegations hit:
- Harvey has repeatedly told his team and friends that Oprah called him earlier this week and said he needed to speak out and defend himself, and when he did she would be right there supporting him. We’re told Harvey has said a number of powerful people have called to voice support, but he singled out Oprah over and over.
A spokesperson for Winfrey denied this account, telling TMZ that Oprah did not contact Weinstein.
One of Weinstein’s accusers, Kadian Noble, said he used Oprah to lure her in before sexually assaulting her. According to Page Six[10]:
- An aspiring actress says Harvey Weinstein used Oprah Winfrey and Naomi Campbell to dupe her into thinking he would help her with her career — only to use her for sex. British actress Kadian Noble said Tuesday she was head-over-heels impressed when she first met Weinstein at an event in London because he was hanging out with model Campbell and had megastar Oprah “swinging off his arm."..."I thought, obviously, this man has something amazing in store for me," she said during a teary-eyed press conference in Manhattan to discuss the sex trafficking lawsuit she filed a day earlier against Weinstein in Manhattan federal court.
Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls – South Africa (OWLAG) is a boarding school for girls, grades 8-12, in Henley on Klip, Gauteng Province, South Africa. The school is a project begun by Winfrey in 2002. OWLAG opened in 2007 and its inaugural class of 72 girls graduated in 2011.
In March 2007, some parents complained because they were only allowed to visit their children once a month and the girls were only allowed to use their cell phones on weekends.[11]
In the school's first year, a female member of the school staff was accused of physically and sexually abusing students. Winfrey flew to South Africa to meet with school officials and parents.[12] The dorm matron was arrested after seven students submitted statements alleging assault and various accusations of abuse.[13][14]
The academy was honoured by Bill Clinton when he featured it in his book Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World as an example of how to give back to the world. Clinton predicted that the school would change the lives of many young women and interviewed Winfrey to find out why she decided to build the school. Winfrey explained that caring teachers "made education an open door" for her and that she wanted to help girls who grew up like her, "economically disadvantaged, but not poor in mind or spirit".[15]
