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

[@thenightporter]

There are very few episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show on OWN that involve everyday people and struggles they faced; it is all political, Dr. Phil or New Age type of content.

[@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.

[@sandarahcatmom9897]

Nothing’s being done to stop it, other than there is some push back against women’s domestic violence shelters because “it’s too gendered”. Oh, and all a man has to do is say he identifies as a woman and he can go into women’s spaces including women’s crisis centers or prisons.

[@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

[@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 👿

[@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 . 💔💯

[@No.Lola777]

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]

@@No.Lola777 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

[@asmrlilvezzy6601]

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

[@UncommonLeadership777]

Yes she does-she engages normally ❤

[@nb-user25]

I think it’s because she has to somewhat control the interview to get everything in order else they’ll run over time and it’ll just be rambling from the guests.

[@thenightporter]

​​@@nb-user25no; as a radio talk host and tv producer myself, I can tell you the answers are well-rehearsed and directed. Oprah famously interrupted James Cameron and Kate Winslet NONSTOP in the Titanic episode. She asked a question and not even a sentence or two in she interrupted with her dumb and typical shouting and made it about herself. Donahue didn't do it. Sally Jesse Raphael did not either.

[@AttilaTheSwampWitch]

She also gets snippy. “No, you tell ME.”

[@kimjohnson1336]

She knows what they’re gonna say. She’s an Aquarius

[@joanwayling2354]

Love the old shows. Please rerun these great shows so many haven't seen

[@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.

[@akimat418]

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

[@cristinaaristizabal9882]

Still happening! Nothing has changed.

[@daynasafranek7807]

The lady who shot her ex boyfriend was so well spoken and when she said that she finally felt free when she thought he passed. I completely understood what she meant. The fact that she had to care for him… omg. That poor woman. 😢

[@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.

[@katuk8173]

It’s a trauma bond.

[@lunavalcreations]

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

[@calvthomas6153]

Yes, I agreed with Oprah regarding the woman in the middle. No it's not fair, but why take any chances?

[@laurindrsn]

GOD bless them all forever!!!

[@van3363]

I like Oprah's hair long and in curls, takes years off . So cute.

[@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😂

[@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.

[@erik01270]

Oprah is a horrible person

[@thenightporter]

I like true crime for the same reason

[@JacksQueen.]

The first woman tongue is real slick with Oprah.

[@bonitaboyd1766]

I noticed that too

[@lisai2110]

Oprah was asking stupid questions.

[@Lily-gu5pi]

Does anyone know what happened to the woman who shot her ex boyfriend? I am praying that she and her children found peace and were able to be safe and together somehow. What a horrible horrible story of the justice system FAILING and TARGETING this woman and her family.

[@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.

[@marcielebrun8965]

When I left my ex husband for being abusive, I knew he would find me at my mom house. I had to dissappear to other state where my best friend to stay with her. He was so mad I left and had send me threatening messages on MySpace.

Poison usually works!

[@BOSSLADY-cu8vs]

Yup, that'll do it 👍🏾

[@thenightporter]

There's that one thing added to a certain fizzy drink. And then there's that Grandmother Foxworth dessert.

[@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.

[@sandarahcatmom9897]

Look at where the laws in our country are going regarding women’s healthcare and tell me you believe women matter in the US any more now than they did 100 years ago.

[@nb-user25]

The professor/author is frustrating to listen to. I get he didn’t make the laws but he keeps lecturing everyone about “we can’t arrest if someone threatens”. And I don’t believe 40% of domestic deaths were by women.

[@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.

[@thenightporter]

I remember, in Fried Green Tomatoes, when Ruth's abusive and estranged husband Frank came back for her and their infant son, he got chased off. Frank promised he would be back. She was so terrified at first, but then told Idgie, "If he tries to harm me or my child, I won't pray (again); I'll break his neck." I will pray for you. ❤

[@LhessaLyons]

This looks like a SNL skit panel

[@mrquenya]

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

[@aussiemouth747]

Anne Rule was the best true crime writer. Her books are amazing!

[@carlawarla3673]

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

[@Ruta14337]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@FemaylMayl]

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

2023. How is Patty ???

[@MrJasonworkman]

Obviously, making a threat should be illegal

[@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.

[@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

[@aussiemouth747]

We weren't illinformed. We were still fighting our way out of 50s mentality. We still are in many areas.😢

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

[@katuk8173]

It’s a trauma bond. Not unusual

[@MoneyMakingMotivationClub]

It was court order

[@misstbull]

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

[@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]

[@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...

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

[@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.

[@ncorp2668]

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