OWN Network founder Oprah Winfrey has “mixed feelings” about one of her hosts appearing on ABC’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ this season, which begins next week.
According to the Huffington Post, Oprah is uncomfortable with Your OWN Show host Carson Kressley appearing on the dance show, because she is uncomfortable with reality TV shows in general.
“A few years ago, when she was doing her own show, she didn’t care for it at all,” a source told HuffPo.
“Manipulating people who are so desperate to be famous and making then look foolish on TV is just not something she is comfortable doing.”
But isn’t that what Oprah did on her own show? Didn’t she manipulate people who were desperate to be famous? Isn’t she desperate to remain relevant after ending the 25-year run of her wildly successful show on the advice of a dying kid?
Kressley, who gained fame as host of TV’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” will compete next week against notables such as NBA star Ron Artest, former talk show host Ricki Lake and transgender Chaz Bono.
