Oprah agrees with Jamie Foxx’s weird statement
Posted by Natasha on March 5, 2007
I know I’m getting to this late, but “better late than never to disect weird celebrity statements”, I think is how the expression goes. During Oprah’s Oscar special Sidney “I am the most adorable and intelligent human out there so everyone else can stop trying now” Poitier asked Mr. Foxx why he wasn’t married. Jamie said it was because now that he’s rich and famous he can’t trust any woman he would meet now would not want him for his money and fame. Before Sidney could say anything Oprah surprised them, interrupting their interview. After they got over the shock of seeing O, she turned to Sidney and said, ”Wasn’t that a great answer?!” Mr. Poitier kind of looked at her and said, ”Uh, yes,” quickly. So Oprah thinks it’s great that Jamie Foxx thinks all women are shallow gold diggers (as opposed to deep gold diggers)? I mean sure he’s rich, sure he’s talented, sure he’s famous…what was I saying? But seriously folks, I think it’s pretty sad (if not a touch mysognistic) that he views all potential partners as not being able to see past his money and fame. And then Oprah agrees with him? Oprah, you and I are disagreeing a lot this year! I’ll tell you what, why not have a late birthday show where you invite me to celebrate our birthdays together, and we’ll put it behind us. I know, I know, you thought I’d dropped that. Me too. Guess not!

She probably agrees with him because she feels the same way about the men she meets… You do know that she herself is not married, right?
