Oprah Steps In To Address Abuse Allegations At Her Leadership Academy In South Africa - Page 2
Africa is a continent which can use all the charitable works the Western world has to offer, but this kind of negative attention may make some who wish to be philanthropic think twice. Oprah does NOT deserve to have her efforts to do good turn into some kind of embarrassing backlash, yet, that's what has happened:
A tearful Oprah Winfrey begged for forgiveness Sunday as she met the parents of students at her all-girls academy, which is reeling from lurid allegations of sexual abuse."I've disappointed you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry," the talk show queen told families in an emergency meeting at the South African school in Henley-on-Klip, south of Johannesburg.
By lending her name to the school, the onus is on Winfrey to make sure proper screening and employment practices are being used when hiring staff for the school. Obviously a bad apple slipped through. This type of oversight has happened to Oprah before. Like here and most recently here.
Rest assured though, there will be severe repercussions for those who humiliate the Oprah. Remember James Frey, the author of A Million Little Pieces? No?
Exactly.
