Kitty Kelley is the author of the controversial and new unauthorized Oprah biography simply titled Oprah: A Biography. Kelley first met the media mogul during a book promotion tour in 1981 for Jackie Oh!, a biography on the life story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Little did Kelley realize that she would write a biography on Oprah, which would take four years to write.

The Oprah biography, which has received much criticism and rejection from publishers and media industry personalities alike, claims to reveal the talk show queen’s innermost personal secrets, both dark and complicated including detailed revelations about Oprah being molested as a child, and her mysterious relationship with Stedman Graham, Winfrey’s longtime companion.
