Shocking Secrets Spilled to Oprah

There’s a reason Oprah is one of the world’s most famous television personalities: She gets celebrities to crack faster than Anonymous can crack Shirley Phelps-Roper’s Twitter password. Lance Armstrong isn’t the first to admit a shocking secret beneath Oprah’s sympathetic gaze. Here are five other stunners that came to light in Harpo Studios.

Overshare time :)

I have a lot of secrets, but here are some of them: I've had clinical depression since I was 10 or so, tried to kill myself twice (once when I was 13, once when I was 20). My father is abusive, and his treatment caused me to cut/burn. I don't talk to him anymore, but I still cut. I got raped by my friend when I was 19, and my first serious boyfriend gave me shit about it. I'm in a slightly better place now, but I still have depression, body dysmorphic disorder and anxiety attacks.
The funny thing is, my parents don't know about it at all. I'm very good at hiding stuff, that's the skill you get when you live with abusive jerks. Someday, I'll probably tell all of it to their faces and hope that at least one of them gets a heart attack. That would make me really happy.

Not really. I used to work with a psychologist through Skype, but not for long. I can't afford medication either. Thank you bb <3

my heart goes out to you! My bf was diagnosed with clinical depression about 2 yrs ago & its been hard & we can barely afford his meds. If you ever need someone to talk to please in all honesty feel free to message me.

Awww, I am so sorry for everything you have gone through. I denied being Bipolar for a long time and refused to be medicated but I cannot believe what a freaking difference it made, all my anxiety is gone, my self-esteem is higher, and people are actually reacting to me differently, it's really weird. I would just say, don't rule out out, if it's partially physiological meds can be a lifesaver.

For my overshare, while I was manic I became pen pals with a famous inmate awaiting trial for a pretty heinous crime...lol talk about a strange judgment call on my part.

If OJ Simpson admitted to the murders on her show, the police would find something to charge him with.

one of the biggest secrets i have is when my bf of now 14yrs & I first started dating he was depressed & called me on the phone & had a shotgun that he was going to use to kill himself but I talked him down from it & we talked on the phone till we fell asleep. Its been years & we have only brought it up to each other over the years 3 times sadly his family & mine have no idea & we will never tell them.

*hugs*
I'm glad that both of you are okay and that you talked him out of it. you're amazing.
shadwrayvn 18th-Jan-2013 12:41 pm (UTC)
*hugs back* Thanks its been a long road & about 2 yrs ago they finally diagnosed him with clinical depression. I don't think I'm anything special but will admit I cry every time he tells people I saved his life because they think we are talking about the things going on now & no one knows.

I didn't know that about Stephen Colbert! That's awful.

I don't even have any shocking secrets. I'm so boring.

Wha--how did I not know about Colbert??? :( That's terrible. He seems like a lovely person.

In an interview with Oprah last year, she stunned the world (sort of) by saying she was, indeed, still in love with him. Soon afterward, she began posting pictures on Instagram and Twitter of the two of them hanging out in intimate settings.
And having a totally petulant, WHATEVER I DO WHAT I WANT attitude about the whole thing. Not that I want to see her ~shamed, but I would LOVE for Oprah to sit her down and school her ass on why he's no good.

(and I forgot all about Marion Jones. oop @ me)
