No one, not even Oprah is safe from the internet digging up what some would consider questionable behavior. In this case, it’s an interview she did with Dolly Parton that has the billionaire philanthropist under a 2020’s microscope.
Several clips from 2003 feature an interview with the iconic country singer on Oprah’s daytime talk show, and it seems some people have questions about what Oprah’s intentions were when she pressed Dolly a little too hard about her personal life.
In the first video, Oprah asks Dolly how she’s able to look so good for her age … and Dolly gives a jokey answer. O follows up, though, and presses … noting she’s been open about having cosmetic work done — but Dolly rolls with the punches, and cops to it openly.
Dolly even says she’ll probably continue going under the knife – and some people are pointing out that Oprah looks sorta disappointed that Dolly flipped it in her favor. Frankly … that’s kinda reaching — but that’s how some fans are interpreting the body language.

A second clip from that same interview popped as well, and Oprah dives right in on a somewhat heavy subject … saying she heard Dolly fell into a huge depression at age 40. Yes, she’s pretty flip and cavalier about it — almost in a “gotcha” sense — but DP is graceful.
There, too, she’s nimble, and jokes she wasn’t depressed about her age — but about her whole look in general, to which she got a laugh. In other words, she expertly batted off Oprah’s “tough questions” with the utmost charm … that’s what Twitter’s saying, anyway.
Some people are coming to drag Oprah over this while others are racing to her defense — pointing out that she’s a heroine for so many and has done a lot of good.
Oprah probably isn’t worried about this one interview ruining her entire legacy, she’s too busy growing her empire and her bank account.
