…and that’s to tell the truth.
According to Page Six, Oprah‘s reps have confirmed that although there are no plans for a Harvey Weinstein interview, she would be interested in one if he owned up to the entire truth.
“Oprah has not spoken to Harvey Weinstein directly,” a spokesperson for Winfrey told the outlet. “Someone from his team reached out to her to see if she would talk to him, and she said she would if it was for an interview. There are no plans for an interview at this time. Winfrey was interested in doing a “60 Minutes” interview with Weinstein but only if “he’d look in the mirror and give her the honest, bone marrow truth,”
Last week Lady O joined Barack Obama and Viola Davis in speaking out against the studio executive’s allegations of sexual harassment and assault.
Over the weekend, Gabrielle Union weighed in on the subject on Twitter.

In Hollywood meetings in homes, hotel lobbies/restaurants/suites, private isolated office space is the norm. NO ONE "ASKED FOR IT!!"

Sexual or physical violence, harassment, demeaning language is NOT the price one should pay for seeking or maintaining employment. Period
