Revelations of a strained relationship between Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama are laid bare in a new book out this week...
From Radar Online
In one particularly outrageous allegation, Klein writes that Michelle turned down Oprah's invitation to appear on her TV show to discuss childhood obesity, one of many causes adopted by the First Lady.
The book claims that Oprah then raged: “Michelle hates fat people and doesn’t want me waddling around the White House!”
Klein and his sources contend that the President has remained close to Oprah but that Michelle started pushing her away shortly after the 2008 election, refusing to return calls and instead letting aides deal with Oprah. What's more, as Oprah prepared to interview Michelle at that time, she was forced to get approval of her interview questions from Jeff Stephens.
The book also contends that two of Michelle's advisers were unhappy with Oprah's influence and that the talk show host was so comfortable with her access to the President, she had a plan to redecorate the Lincoln bedroom!
