Show Guest: BeBe Winans

According to DimeWars.Com:

Oprah seemed to be getting her hypocrisy on lately, allowing alleged wife-beater BeBe Winans on to her show. We thought Oprah was adamantly against domestic abusers. Oddly enough, Chris Brown calls Oprah foul for not letting him tell his side of the story on her show. After being called out for her contradictory behavior, Oprah released this press release:


"Winans appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” last week and was seen in promos for future appearances. Now he’ll be cut out of the segment, said Winfrey spokesman Don Halcombe on Thursday. Winfrey was criticized by some bloggers this week for including Winans after she had taken a strong stand against domestic violence earlier this year. She did a show on the topic when singer Chris Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna. The daytime TV leader said at the time: “Domestic violence is something that I wouldn’t tolerate. Period.”


Halcombe would only say that the decision to eliminate Winans was made this week. It was not clear if Winfrey had been aware that Winans was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault in the Feb. 13 incident, where Winans and his ex-wife Debra were allegedly arguing about their children. Winans has a court date set for Jan. 20."

According to OnTheFlix.Com

BeBe Winans was arrested awhile back from charges of domestic violence and his ex-wife is upset he was going on the Oprah Winfrey Show, according to Gather.com. They report that the Gospel singer was arrested back in March of this year for domestic assault against his ex-wife .

He allegedly pushed her down to the ground in front of their children. The case is currently still pending.

There is a little controversy stirring up, because despite this news, Oprah is having him on her show tomorrow to, again, host her Karaoke Challenge. (This is a post that was up before Oprah's Karaoke show aired, BeBe Winans did not appear on that show because of the hypocrisy factor)

Oprah has recently spoken out against domestic violence with the case of Chris Brown & Rihanna,and wouldn’t allow him on her show.

Now, it’s reported that Bebe’s ex wife, Debra Winans has said that she’s hurt by Oprah having him on her show. She stated to TMZ, “hurt by Oprah’s decision to have Bebe on the show.”

So, I guess the controversy is, is Oprah a hypocrite?

Now even though Oprah pulled BeBe from her recent Karaoke Challenge show, he appeared on the show a couple of weeks ago with his sister CeCe Winans to perform a new song "Grace"................
