It is said that Oprah Winfrey is the most powerful woman in America, I actually do not doubt that. Her largess is well known. Less well known is the Oprah Winfrey outside of the public eye. There have been several attempts to publish ‘tell all’ books and most have been shut down.
There are two books that have made it to print. The latest coming from Poison Pen queen Kitty Kelley. While hardly the expose that was promised, is mildly amusing. The basic problem with going after Oprah is the arsenal of legal experts and PR spin meisters that you have to deal with. Oprah was quick to react to the Kitty Kelly book, and obviously she has been successful. Most of the MSM (Main Stream Media) has avoided the book like the plague!
Fox took the bait, but boy did they play it carefully. Bill O’Reilly certainly did a great job of distancing himself.
In 2008 Keifer Bonvillain released his rather inflammatory book Ruthless. Keifer faced an uphill battle, including a brief vacation at the hands of the FBI.
The big difference between Kelley and Bonvillain is that Bonvillain had some facts. There are two sets of tapes, one is between Keifer and Todd (Oprah’s office manager), and a set between him and Bill Becker (Lead Council). I do not have copies of them, and I have not heard them, other than some short clips.
Note to Oprah, I don’t have them, and do not know the location they are in! But I do know they exist. The FBI missed them on their search.
These clips are between Keifer and Bill Becker. These tapes have never been heard before
I offer no commentary, take these clips for what they are.

Weren’t these a few years ago and they helped him get the extortion charges dropped? They are in his book in text form from what I gather.
So the FBI did get the office manager tapes that were recorded?
Great catch, Simon!
Now…if you could only locate the rest…!
Simon,
I read ruthless but it didn’t care for it, I, really didn’t think those tapes existed .
makes the book a little more tangible.
I just started ready the Kitty Kelly’s version of Oprah.a friend of mine ask why are you reading a book of a woman you think so highly of ? The only way that I can answer that is because when she opened her life to world, but never heard anything but what she has told, there more to her life than that.
Wow! I can’t believe what I just heard. Those tapes are amazing! The FBI charged this man with extortion and was prepared to throw him behind bars for years and then he dropped these tapes which proved that Oprah and her attorney set him up! This is like a movie. In any event, I think you should pressure Keifer Bonvillain for more of those tapes. From what I gathered he has hours of them and I would love to spend an evening listening to all of the things Oprah doesn’t want me to know about her.
I thought he had tapes of Oprah but all he has is her attorney. Assuming that even is her attorney. Boring.
