From PopEater:

Monday’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show shocked viewers when Winfrey announced that she had recently discovered she had a half-sister she never knew of. But the amazing family reunion wasn’t the only thing that stunned the audience.

Patricia, Oprah’s only sibling, turned down a huge offer from a tabloid magazine to expose the truth out of concern for Winfrey’s privacy.

“All Patricia wanted was the truth,” an insider told PopEater’s Rob Shuter. “She wasn’t interested in selling her story even for a million dollars. She just wanted to know who she was, where she came from and if she had any brothers or sisters. She had no idea when she started this search she would end up being Oprah Winfrey’s half-sister.”

Patricia and Oprah share a mother, Vernita Lee, who had kept her pregnancy with her second daughter a secret all these years after giving up Patricia for adoption when Oprah was only 9 years old.
