Pleeeaaaaase Show reruns of the 80s and 90s Oprah Winfrey show pleeeeeaaaaasssseee

[@vintagebabyseventythree6244]

Over 30 years later nothing has changed. Not enough is being done to stop domestic violence.

[@akimat418]

It’s worse!! Every day there are news reports of women who are killed by their significant other.

[@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn]

Women need to stop dating bad boys

[@Thecomplexionroom]

Being forced to take care of your abuser after you shot him in self defense is crazy work 😳

[@StupidPrizesPosterChild]

Bizarre. I would move to Alaska, change my & son's name. It's so sad but back then no laws would protect

[@MaryjaneLove]

. &&&& ii can't even imagine . 💔💯

[@nolola.9173]

Times were so different back then, I'm glad were making progre- I'm sorry, what was that? It's illegal for a woman to have a choice over their own body? Welp, I'll be back tracking on my comment and see myself out😅

[@ncorp2668]

@@nolola.9173 Women's spaces are also being taken away, too...the one places we have away from prdators.

[@canwejustloveeachother2550]

And men want to say ‘‘Don’t nobody say nothing when men get abused’’ knowing they don’t have this intimidation nor levels of violence towards them from women, in most cases. Most male violence is from other men, even in romantic relationships w each other

[@marykay7878]

I would pay to watch the 80s and 90s episodes. Please Oprah make it happen ❤

[@empresserica]

Ikr?!? In my opinion the best talk show EVER

[@marykay7878]

​@@empressericasooo good! Authentic, informative, entertaining and simple enough to be comforting ❤

[@junkboy555]

I could spend days watching old Oprah, she really doesn’t want know how much of a goldmine she has.

[@kirstenhyer7319]

This doesn’t look like the original air date was 2012. The hair, the clothing, the shoes and the jewelry. It all looks 80s to me. I was an 80s chick myself so I find it hard to believe that they were dressing like this in 2012. I didn’t that’s for sure.

[@lunapasquale]

​@junkboy555 she knows she the gatekeeper 👿

[@A.J.8.8.8]

Oprah could do a whole series on a "where are they now" update on all of her shows. It would be so interesting to see where these women are today.

[@paulmarden3301]

She did this series already. Such a shame she never carried on

[@A.J.8.8.8]

@paulmarden3301 yes, would definitely love an update on the last update! 😅 it would be great to do a deep dive into the impact that show has had on all of the lives over 30 - 40 years

[@rebeccav9969]

She's tryna retire though. LOL

[@asmrlilvezzy6601]

My only thing with Oprah she don’t let people finish their sentences

[@UncommonLeadership777]

Yes she does-she engages normally ❤

[@Sarah_Eva]

​@@UncommonLeadership777 That's how I take it... She usually says what so many would want to say.

[@Geordan419]

man. i was NOT expecting the 3rd lady to say that she took care of him for 3 months after the incident. and the fact people laughed at that was crazy. in what world was that poor woman obligated to care for her ex-BOYFRIEND after something like that?? he wasn’t even her husband. that’s total bull.

[@JoshuaN55]

This is why we love and adore Oprah, her empathy and storytelling talent helps bring people’s stories to life no matter how big or small.

[@MsJanetWood]

It was a whole team of people working , behind-the-scenes, making all those stories happen.

[@elainebines6803]

I have lost all respect for Oprah after the megan interview

[@MsJanetWood]

@@elainebines6803 She’s a billionaire celebrity, who lives a pampered life. She can no longer relate to the average person. Nothing wrong with that. Just an observation.

[@SB-sj7pt]

God's voice told him to get in the shower....God saved her

[@annrodriguez2891]

Truth

[@carriebilly6312]

But what about the other women who died?

[@cristinaaristizabal9882]

No ,she saved herself.

[@jellybeanz5426]

Wrong😂

[@cathyandresiak]

Poison usually works!

[@BOSSLADY-cu8vs]

Yup, that'll do it 👍🏾

[@l.k.1111]

If Oprah got into the True Crime game, it would be over. Love true crime. Most of my viewing time goes into it because I like better understanding the scenarios and minds and situations. I also have degrees in criminal justice and psychology and so I have an inherent need to learn and see more...not just to learn, but to also be able to look out for it. The more you know! Also, Oprah has gems in the vault, old episodes that would always be classic and good to watch.

[@laurindrsn]

GOD bless them all forever!!!

[@cristinaaristizabal9882]

Still happening! Nothing has changed.

[@akimat418]

I would love to see an update of everyone. Including the audience members.

[@JacksQueen.]

The first woman tongue is real slick with Oprah.

[@bonitaboyd1766]

I noticed that too

[@lisai2110]

Oprah was asking stupid questions.

[@fee9971]

Lady #2 is making excuses! Not victim blaming but ma’am! Running away to your mother’s house isn’t moving! You need to disappear 😫

[@MaryjaneLove]

. &&& knowing that's the 1st place folks look is the family house . .😭🤷💔💯

[@naveen378]

Thank you! Not saying she hasnt gone through stuff but something about her story is sketch to me. I believe the other women but hers my eyebrows were raised the entire time. I kinda feel like she doesnt want to let this dude go.

[@MaryjaneLove]

@@naveen378 &&& definitely don't remind me of my cousin so much . .

[@InspirationalTrees-rh7zg]

I was thinking… 🤔 wanna know what’s even more unfair than having to move?... being unalived.

[@Minabobina007]

I had a man who stalked me , tried to hire 2 people to kill me. Threw a fire bomb in my kids bedroom window. He spent 14 of 24 yrs in prison. He’s out now. I feel like I’ll always be watching over my shoulder.

[@lunavalcreations]

I wonder what happened with the woman in the middle since her ex was getting released a week after this show

[@tinacathey8241]

Why are the laws not stricter when this continuous to happen year after year. How many more people have to be attacked or killed. Let's do a show on how this is coming to change.

[@mrquenya]

Now I can see why my mom is so into true crime stories its eerily interesting

[@kimloveslp]

So the third lady shot her boyfriend then she took care of him!! That’s crazy

[@Ruta14337]

Thank you for sharing this great show love it 💯💖💗💙👍

[@ticeygirl]

2023. How is Patty ???

[@KC-oh4rr]

Isn’t this insane. Well it wasn’t actual abuse, it was verbal abuse. It is amazing how uninformed everyone was back then. Still today somewhat

[@doriemckay6935]

November 2023. I'd live to know how these women are today. It took nicile browns murder to change the laws and to allow cops to arrest these murderers.

[@canwejustloveeachother2550]

Yes❤❤❤ Think of that Tracey Thurman Story in Connecticut. Laws there changed too

[@janecoe9407]

some cops just do not show up.

[@karenchristie4809]

Interested show

[@carlawarla3673]

So felt for everyone but this lady in the audience 😢I so hope she was ok x

[@MrJasonworkman]

Obviously, making a threat should be illegal

[@LhessaLyons]

This looks like a SNL skit panel

[@jaehaymond7107]

Hi OWN It's Jae Haymond! I Enjoy These Classic Episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show! I Hope That You Can Post The Episodes With Both The King World & Harpo Productions Logos!

[@Geordan419]

it’s something about the second lady that’s rubbing me the wrong way. she just doesn’t seem to be fully grasping the severity of the matter. if it was just her and she wanted to continue being a part of the circus, fine. but to subject your son to the craziness just seems odd and irresponsible. it’s like there was no sense of urgency to go off the grid and away from him.

[@victoriam7508]

Bom dia Opraha Winfrey eu só Victoria estou muito feliz por ver o seu trabalho Deus ti a bênção e toda sua família e sua vida. 😂🎉❤❤❤

[@babyboylovesmusic]

The black lady sharing her story had opinions from doctors and psychologists who should have never had a license to begin with. Insanity.

[@BOSSLADY-cu8vs]

The fact that she didn't realize she didn't have to do it Is what's really sad.

[@akimat418]

Exactly!! I would love to see an update of all of their lives. Especially hers.

[@Jean-tj2uz]

Woman number 2 will be back with abuser. Excuses excuses😢

[@misstbull]

For the woman that shot her boyfriend and all of then y did they allow the abuse to go on and on???

[@RP.123]

Author James Fox was as worthless as a penny with a hole in it. He added nothing to the conversation.

[@ncorp2668]

It doesn't seem like his forte is even DV. Whoever booked him F'd up.

[@kimthomas8717]

It’s taken a very long time for things to change -2023. Now and yes there’s protections but they have been hard fought . 1989 was it good to women

[@kimthomas8717]

Not* good

[@GrainneScarlett]

Granted there's protections in place now but femicide victims in terms of statistics hasn't really changed in all this time. It's still a very real issue unfortunately...

[@Hernameis994]

The Jamie Fox guy is off

[@sergipana1113]

Alguém do Brasil ?

[@Sarah_Eva]

O meu marido. 😂

[@MargoHardy]

2024 nothing has changed

[@ncorp2668]

Thank goodness for Oprah for centering MVAW. That doesn't seem to happen anymore... people like to pretend it's all general.

[@kimthomas8717]

What’s that ?

[@MrzBuchananIII]

Male Violence Against Women I think?

[@Peggy-Sue]

​@@kimthomas8717not the original poster, but male violence against women, I believe.

[@kimthomas8717]

@@Peggy-Sue ok 👍🏽 thank you . There’s so many acronyms now days I don’t get them all lol

[@corbsds]

That's all people ever refer to when discussing domestic violence. And it's sadly why men continue to suffer at extreme rates as victims. What are you talking about?

[@FemaylMayl]

The first 2 women are so soft-spoken ☺️ I hope the second lady escaped that psycho

[@naveen378]

Its sad what happened to these women but idk its something about that second woman. Its like she doesnt wanna move or something. She keeps saying hes gonna find her but how does he find her in the first place? Is she secretly talking to him or someone telling him where she is? Her story is a little odd to me. Not to mention she seems to know alot of personal stuff about him still for someone thats supposedly scared of him and hiding.

[@cynthianolder3557]

Why would it necessarily odd for her to know a lot of personal stuff about him?

[@naveen378]

IF this man is such a horror to her life id think she not try to find out or wanna know whatever he doing@@cynthianolder3557

[@jacquelinemartin9124]

Oprah doesn’t seem to have much empathy!!

[@DrTina1000]

What?

[@enricovankeeken1624]

you are not welcome!!!!!!!

[@jamrich8147]

This author is disgusting and did not deserve a platform to continue his dangerous and toxic perspective. While some advancements have been made at prosecuting domestic abuse this mentality is still too prevalent.

[@TheHeat205Network]

Beyoncé looks somewhat sad here 😢

[@shastac1396]

Oprah is so annoying
