Oprah Winfrey, reigning queen of talk shows, has made billions by influencing normal people to known celebs to reveal the truth about themselves. However, a controversial bio has allegedly exposed her own past as full of baloney, very interesting actually.

Hogwash they say? The following excerpts on Oprah's hidden life:

On her mother - Cold as ice. She won't even give out her phone number to her old woman.

On her father - She knows absolutely zilch about her father's true identity.

On sexual abuse and poverty - She made up these stories on sexual abuse and her poverty stricken childhood? Totally blown out of proportion.

On surviving as a teen - Oprah sold her body to earn extra money and has tagged herself as a 'teen prostitute.'

On growing up on filth and roaches - A total farce. Katherine Carr Esters described Oprah's quote as 'nonsense.'

So why all the lies?

'That's what people want to hear. The truth's boring,' according to the icon on talk shows.

Will the book's expose decide the fate of Oprah's career? We'll see...
