A spokeswoman for Harpo Productions would not comment as to whether Winfrey will pay off her mother's alleged debt. But chances are good that the talk-show titan retained Gistenson, a prominent in lawyer in Chicago, where she lives, for Vernita. While Oprah seems to have forgiven her mother, Vernita did leave her behind with grandparents after giving birth to her at 18. Winfrey lived with her as an older child in Milwaukee, when she was sexually abused by a cousin and other male relatives. It is not known whether Vernita was aware of the abuse. Winfrey ended up living with her father, a stern disciplinarian, in Tennessee. "No one ever told me I was loved," Winfrey once said. "Ever, ever, ever.” the paper said.
To Oprah, don’t let this become a media circle; just pay off you mum’s debt which is nothing compare to your wealth.
