See Why Oprahs Family Is Turning On Her Barbara Winfrey, Oprahs former stepmother, has been speaking about her once daughter-in-laws actions, which ultimately forced her to move out of the home that she once shared with Vernon Winfrey. Oprah has set out to ruin me, destroy me, Barbara told reporters, To take this house away is petty. This has been my home for 14 years. Barbara and Vernon have been in the middle of divorce proceedings for the last year and a half. Still, despite the ongoing proceedings and the significant length of marriage, Oprah gave Barbara until this week to vacate and leave the $1.4 million Nashville home. Oprah originally purchased the home for the couple. Oprahs a billionaire three times over, her help lives better than this, Barbara continued, She said publicly that she offered to sell the house and give me the proceeds, but thats a lie. She never said that. Oprah owns property all over the world, so there is no reason to sell this house, other than to spite me. Its a personal vendetta. What do you think of Oprahs actions? Is it cruel for her to force someone who was once so close to her out of the house she owns? Are her actions malicious?
