Honey, I’m not sure if you are aware, but if there’s a family that cannot stand Oprah Winfrey, it’s the Jacksons. And when I say the Jacksons, I mean everybody, including Janet Jackson.

The main issue Janet and her family have with Oprah stems from how she treated Michael Jackson and contributed to the negative narrative that they have always disputed. Janet has stated, “I know my brother. He didn’t have that in him.”

Some people believe Janet associated with Oprah for career reasons, but that’s not the case. The Jacksons have consistently denied the allegations against Michael. In fact, they have suggested that his death may have been a setup.

Janet has expressed her difficulty in believing the accusations and the impact they had on Michael. Given their unwavering support for Michael, it’s no surprise they would have issues with anyone who tarnished his name, including Oprah.

Oprah’s 1993 interview with Michael at Neverland Ranch was supposed to improve his public image, but it had the opposite effect. Oprah asked intrusive questions, especially about his relationships with young boys and his personal life. Her insinuations and challenges to his answers were seen as disrespectful and insensitive.

Shortly after the interview, the first accusations of misconduct against Michael became public, and his reputation was severely damaged. Oprah’s involvement in the “Leaving Neverland” documentary, which featured accusations against Michael, further strained her relationship with the Jackson family. Taj, Jermaine, and Brandy Jackson have all publicly criticized Oprah for her actions, viewing them as betrayals.

Despite Janet’s previous interactions with Oprah, the fallout is evident. Janet even auctioned off earrings given to her by Oprah, symbolizing the end of their relationship.

The Jackson family feels deeply hurt and betrayed by Oprah, and Janet’s revelations shed light on the lasting impact of this conflict.
