Does Oprah cry?
Really, does she?
I just read a statement about her dog dying and it occurred to me, that I for one think the woman does not know how to cry. OK, so maybe she has shed some tears on camera in her time, but I mean real tears, the kind where she actually sobs and her shoulders shake like the rest of ours do when we have had enough.
Her dog of 13 years, Sophie, passed away and Oprah is dedicating a show on the abuses of dogs to her, what did she call her, “a true love in my life” man, I don’t think she has ever even referred to Stedman like that.
So let me get this straight, her dog dies and she is banking on it in some way or another right. Okay so maybe the dedication is just that, a tribute to her lost dog.
But anyway….do you think she really cries? If she does, she doesn’t do it right.
Maybe it is just me but I can’t see it. I am sure she gets mad, like when Stedman leaves his socks on the bathroom floor or something, or she may yell when her employees mess up her lunch order. But still, I simply can not see the woman breaking down and losing enough composure to shed tears, real ones. I also can not really see Hilary cry, I know she did on TV, but come on who fell for that? Laura Bush, nope, have never seen a tear.
I am pretty sure that to become such a powerful person, it requires certain bodily functions removed from your body. Like passing gas, burping, having the hiccups, throwing up and even your stomach growling device is probably removed upon becoming a somebody.
I think when someone out and out cries, it tells you something about them. Not that their weak, but that they can show emotion now that’s power!
Ok, so if you are still reading this you may be wondering why I decided to bash Oprah, in actuality, I am bored and saw he face in the newspaper so what the hell, I thought I would pick on her today, not really for any reason just because. Maybe she will read this and cry…….

I read your article titled “Does Oprah Cry?” and was sorry to see that you penned it only because you were “bored” and “thought [you] would pick on her today, not really for any reason just because.”
Ultimately, you made the choice to “bash” Oprah. I think it’s a sad choice. Remove the celebrity factor that seems to legitimize your attack, and what you’re left with is “I decided to bash.”
I’m sure you have thoughtful, insightful things to write about. It’s tempting to bash, trust me, I know; I’ve done my share. Though many of my “victims” have never caught me, in the end, I can’t help but be haunted by it. I’ve made the decision that Cutting someone at the knees isn’t where I want to get a reaction. Ultimately, it hurts me.
Anyway, good luck, and all the best.

Oprah is an actress, she can hold back tears or cry on demand.
I’m sure she cried in real life when her dog passed away, and she might shed a few tears on her show about it. But other than that, it’s all an act.

“Not that their weak” … ummm… that would be “they’re”

Wow, I thought this blog was very sad. There are so many people in the world worthy of being bashed at any given time. Oprah however is such a humanitarian, that I’m a bit shocked that you would have chosen her. I’m one of those people who after losing my 13 year old dog cryed that shoulder shaking sob for weeks (truthfully months) after the fact, because if you are an animal lover it is in fact like losing a true love. 2 years later I still shed a few tears for her now and then. Not in public, or on television, but it doesn’t make my grief less real. Oprah is a strong woman and an amazing role model. She has obtained her wealth and power by being unbreakable through some unbelievable hardships. She gives more than any other celebrity back to the less fortunate. I’m sure in her private life she suffers with all the same issues as we all do. She didn’t become who she is by crying and showing weakness so that the TV viewers and the tabloids could mock her, trivialize and capitalize on her personal tragedys. The next time you’re bored look up the latest on Michael Vick or Paris Hilton, two people who have wasted more money and opportunities than a person should ever be allowed.

Who cares if Oprah cries?

I wish everyone took the time to watch that show today. I never watch Oprah, really don’t like her that much.
But she’s doing a great job today of showing the world the real horrors of puppy mills. Everyone needs to know where that cute puppy in the pet shop comes from. Everyone needs to know what goes on in animal shelters every day too.
It’s worth watching, whether or not she cries, you might.

The fact that she is using the death of “the love of her life” to get rating points, shows that she does not cry for real.
