Apparently Oprah has been voted the 3rd most hated celebrity in America. I'm behind on this - what's she done?
She's just been around for a very, very long time and has the types of occasionally shady associations that someone at the absolute top of entertainment and influence for forty years might have. Over the years there's been some drama involving her book club, some drama involving the way she's handled certain guests and topics, her very milquetoast politics, her apparently not very successful venture at building a girls school in South Africa. Just low- to the mid-level controversy that adds up over the decades.
She floated the idea of running for president which no one appreciated, Donald Trump is the only celebrity with the specific kind of
duck-you energy to pull it off.
The Harry and Megan interview was more a source of memes than anything else, people here find them just kind of cheesy and unserious rather than having any real visceral reaction.
