Oprah Winfrey has always set the bar high and her biggest accomplishment would be to do two interviews, one with OJ confessing to her about the Nicole Brown/Ron Goldman murders and Susan Smith, the woman who killed her two children and is serving a life sentence! That would be amazing of Oprah could get an OJ confession, but I would doubt he would do it! Oprah is giving her all to OWN and her new show, Oprah’s Next Chapter now that her talk show is over.
According to THR,
“I have a dream of O.J. Simpson confessing to me,†said Winfrey to voluble cheers from the crowd at Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center. “And I am going to make that happen people.â€
“I don’t just want the interview,†she continued. “I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson.â€
Investigation Discovery’s Paula Zahn interviewed Winfrey for Thursday’s marquee session. And Winfrey stressed that she is now fully committed to growing OWN after a rocky start that recently saw CEO Christina Norman ousted.
“This really is the moment I’ve been waiting for,†said Winfrey. “I have the ability to commit my full energy.â€
Oprah’s Next Chapter is set to launch in January. And Winfrey noted that she has tried over the years to get both Simpson – who was acquitted of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson – and Smith, who is serving a life sentence in South Carolina for murdering her two sons – on her syndicated show.
If Winfrey does land a Simpson confession (a goal she characterized as not “that loftyâ€), she will have succeeded where numerous others have spectacularly failed.
