About Oprah and Kristy Alli Fat Issue
73
It is hopeful that the topic get readers who view Oprah Winfrey as the person in the world with the most empathy being labelled as unforgiving. Maybe the accusation is purely personal and should be written in a personal journal but what Oprah did was intentional to her talk show host and not to the author.
Oprah had on her show a few celebrities as usual who had performed menial jobs before making it big. Her guests included Kristy Allen, the woman financial guru. Martina McBride and complimentary pictures of other celebs such as Shania Twain who had worked at substandard jobs before making it big.
Great show and great topic Oprah writers. The viewers saw that Oprah herself was always into broadcasting starting out at sixteen. The woman financial guru was a waitress and short order cook. Martina McBride worked at Diary Queen in her hay day and for the record did an excellent job at weight maintenance. Why Ms. McBride except for her hair color being lighter then, looked almost the same; weight and all. That last statement is giving a clue of what was unforgiving of Oprah Winfrey.
Photos of a young Shania Twain showed her high school picture and that she had worked at McDonald's before making it to the big time. The old boss of Oprah Winfrey was on Skyppe talking about how Oprah was not a great writer and did not know how to handle the camera but had a quality about her that went to the soul of each person she interviewed. Oprah's old boss from thirty six years ago said that she would get emphatically involved with each story and with each participant in the story. The viewers saw her interviewing someone who made pots out of pottery. Not too much empathy there but that is not the jest of the story.
The jest of the story is that Kristy Ally came on the show in a big black balloon of a dress clouded in black as if desperately seeking to hide the mounds of fat that refused to part from as she had promised Oprah on an earlier show. Oprah looked at Kristy Ally throughout the show as if to say "Girlfriend, don't you know that all of that fat is dangerous and why didn't you lose the weight as promised? "
The show was on what celebrities did in their past before making it big, no pun intended Kristy Ally. The viewers saw that Kristy Ally used to be a house cleaner and that she used vodka to help clean the bathrooms of other people houses hoping one day to get a huge house of her own. The vodka was not used to drink as she playfully explained but as a inexpensive disinfectant. Although Oprah was probably thinking that Kristy should have taken a big twig of vodka before coming on her show in that big black balloon of a dress when she had promised to be "ripped" by November. Which by the way is the month that the show was televised.
Kristy Allen should have been embarrassed as Oprah openly got off the topic of her former job as an interior designer and even had her to call handsome Nate to help her help a client over the telephone. Oprah did a big I told you so on national television telling Kristy Ally that she should not have tried to lose weight for a television show.
Although Oprah Winfrey did not promise to lose weight for the show but said that in January of 2009 she would be her best self ever had highly reneigned on the promise to lose weight to the American public Oprah Winfrey did not allude to the fact and empathize with Kristy Ally who sat with her chin almost to her waist, that she had fallen short of her goal to be her best self ever since January of 2009.
But viewers could clearly see that Oprah was smaller than the woman in the bid flowing black dress ( cute black suede boots though) that used to be the gorgeous actress on "Cheers " playing opposite Ted Danson. Oprah had been on her famous treadmill not to the size of the wagon full of fat drawn on her show years ago to show her yo yo figure when it had got down to almost a model's size; but to the biggest Kristy Ally seen yet. Oprah almost looked almost like Twiggy in comparison to Kristy Ally as she sat with her legs crossed showing her black patent leather shoes with the red soles.
Oprah had on the loudest outfit that her wardrobe people could find if she in fact uses other people to dress her. The patent leather black stilettos with shiny red soles indicating that the shoes cost upwards of thousands of dollars gleamed at the American audience as she got off topic and asked Kristy Ally, "What happened to the pounds you promised to have lost by November?"
Kristy Allen talked about some sort of television deal that had gone south when everyone knew that she just did not give a d . . . . and ate what ever she wanted to. Kristy Allen playfully put on a red bikini over her big black balloon dress to show Oprah that she was in fact able to wear a bikini. And yes, Oprah the test is to see if she could fit in a bikini as her weight loss goal. Remember you and your Radio Flyer wagon of fat that was your weight indicator?
Then as Oprah sat in her bright orange dress almost telling Kristy (Girlfriend, you know you can not wear a color as bright as this? Why is you hair so blond and so long? Is it to take the people's eyes off of the mounds of fat under your chin and the rest of your body? Look Kristy, I can wear bright orange and you have to wear black because you did not lose the weight that you promised.") All of this is pure speculation and generalization from the author. But would not it have been more emphatic for Oprah to wear a neutral color instead of the bright orange gizmos that she had on.
And why on earth did she have to talk about Kristy's weight that everyone saw had been a losing battle. The topic of the show was celebrities and the jobs they used to have and not Kristy Ally did not fit into that bikini by November. Another appropriate topic for the show would have been: I told you so, Kristy. Do not lose weight for a television show. Lose weight for yourself because I am America's go to person full of empathy when they have problems.
Oprah shows that she may have used empathy in some cases as her old boss said, but on this particular show that showed a weight loss failure putting in time to promote the show, did not receive one iota of empathy from Oprah. Oprah clearly got off topic. Oprah other than bringing the Half Ton Teenager on public television, this may have been the most unsympathetic show yet.
Kristy Allen, good for you for getting the house that you wanted and telling America that if you believe that you can achieve. As you drove by the historic house as divulged on Oprah, you said that you dreamed that one day that house would be yours. You got the house and even gave America a tour. But now to not be further humiliated by the most empathic woman in America, why not lose a few pounds and try to keep a few promises as Oprah said not for a television show but for yourself.
