Oprah Getting Heat Over Kardashians Interview
According to the Los Angeles Times, Oprah and the Kardashians are about to become well acquainted. It’s been reported that the OWN network hasn’t been doing poorly in the ratings and has lost over $300 million as a result. Her efforts to save OWN with high profile interviews with Bobbi Kristina and the Jackson family interviews have apparently done little to improve the fledgling channel’s reputation.
Now she is interviewing the infamous Kardashian clain and is receiving heat for it.
The Los Angeles Times has more:
Has OWN, the struggling Oprah Winfrey network, finally jumped the shark?
The announcement that Winfrey will sit down with Kim Kardashian and her entire family for a segment of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” might suggest that OWN may be entering a heightened state of desperation in its hunger for ratings.
Winfrey is sitting down with the Kardashian family members — and their significant others — at the Jenner home in Hidden Hills for an interview that will air June 17. The interview will be followed by Part 2 of Winfrey’s interview with rapper and “media mogul Curis “50 Cent” Jackson.
The “50 Cent” interview had already raised eyebrows because of Winfrey’s shunning of rappers during almost the entire run of her syndicated daytime show.
50 cent? Kimk
Damn
So I have to cut off Oprah too????
DAMN!
“It’s been reported that the OWN network hasn’t been doing poorly in the ratings and has lost over $300 million as a result.”
That sentence makes no sense.
Oprah is DESPERATE! Lol. Poor thing, her middle-aged White women viewers have deserted her! Oh the horror!
Ha!
This is embarrassing. I think Oprah’s desperation is showing and I can only hope that she can turn things around. I would hate for her to have to sink this low with no chance of return.
It’s funny because I actually don’t mind so much her interviewing the Kardashians. I mean, they’ve been a mainstay in pop culture for the last several years and I think a lot of people DO want to know why they are famous (I believe Oprah asked them about that in the interview.)
But 50 Cent?? Not only has his cultural relevance dipped significantly. But he has a DOG named after her. A DOG!!! I would never EVER entertain someone who had disrespected me in that way, much less give him a platform.
