The Female Version Of Egoist

118 Comments

[Blind Gossip] Remember when we told you about the male host whose ego got in the way of his newsy TV show?

That was Alec Baldwin, whose Alec Baldwin Show was canceled after just a few episodes. Alec is a smart and funny guy, but he had a little trouble getting his ego out of the way when interviewing other people.

We have a similar situation to tell you about, except this one involves a famous female TV personality.

She has been very successful in other endeavors, but when it came to a recent gig, she just couldn’t seem to get her own ego out of the way.

The public may love her, but the crew certainly didn’t. She thinks she is more important and smarter than everyone. She knows more than the gaffer, she knows more than the guests, she knows more than everybody. Every minute of production was about her and her insufferable ego. The woman would not shut up and just do her job!

The gaffer is the chief lighting technician. It’s generally not a good idea to tell the gaffer (or the key grip) how to do their jobs. Especially if you are not their boss!

Thankfully, they won’t have to deal with her any more.

She says she quit. She actually got fired.

We’re sure our egoist will spin it as the former.

  5. Oprah

    60 Minutes

    I’m not a fan and never have been. She always looks out for herself first and I think her constant broadcasting how wonderful she is, is bogus.

    • I used to be a huge fan and I still respect what she has made of her life and how many people she has helped. But I’m not a fan any more because her ego is just too much. Like Beyonce.

    • So true- you don’t typically relapse over and over and over as an addict (her drug being food… bc fyi, if food is actually jeopardizing your heath by making you seriously overweight, & you want to stop, & you still can’t stop… & change your whole life & get healthy, only to relapse & go right back to square one, as unhealthy as ever… How’s that different from a heroin addict or alcoholic?) if you’re super evolved and “zen”. I know because I am one, lol, of the drug variety. (Sober)

    • (If it’s unclear, that was a roundabout way of saying that I’ve always felt she was a bit full of it too. I know she doesn’t claim to be a totally healed person, but, idk, there’s still that whole perfection schtick. Girl, we know you aren’t eating those vegetables in your garden unless they’re battered and deep fried, just like the rest of us slobs.)

    • I used to be a fan, but no more! Oprah has definitely changed, and not into someone that you like or admire, as she used to be. She is no longer the lovable or likable woman that she used to be.

    I think she believes her own press.

    I haven’t liked her since she went new age (it’s been a while) and the show that did it for me, that showed how out of touch she was with the average woman, was one which focused on putting yourself first. At the time I had three small children, worked full time, and thought she was spouting rubbish.

    Fill the tub with scented water and place candles around and start the day focused on YOU. Silly Oprah.

    • Yep.. I truly believe Ellen loves her game show so she can humiliate the contestants.

    • Yes! Both Oprah and Ellen ARE insufferable! I think they both truly believe they are more enlightened than everyone else. And that when they speak, they’re gracing us with total wisdom, LOL!

    • @dizzygirl, I too believe the rumors I’ve heard about Ellen being a mean, nasty person, and agree that she probably gets some kind of sick joy out of humiliating others.

  19. This is Oprah. I used to like her, but she just became so impressed with herself. I was a long-term weight watcher member, but as soon as she came on board telling all us commoners how to lose weight, I turned it off. A woman who has been multiple sizes who thinks she can tell others how to be successful was just just such a turn off.

  22. This would be Oprah, the big O, who ‘removed’ herself from 60 Minutes.

    I never cared for Oprah, except for maybe a few minutes many years ago. Never really
    thought why I didn’t like her, except she has always seemed to stroke her own ego and
    that’s not a trait I admire.

  23. Oprah Winfrey.

    I figured that she was fired when I read that she had left 60 minutes. (Who on earth ever thought it was a good idea to hire her for 60 Minutes in the first place?)

    I like her far less than I did before she started meddling in politics. And even less now than I did before I read this blind.

    • Oprah Winfrey, rumored to have been fired from 60 Minutes.
      I liked her originally…..but she became sort of maniacally egotistical. There’s something insufferable about a person who needs to name everything after her first name or initial….and who has only her own (heavily Photoshopped) image on the cover, month after month. Lady, you’re just not that interesting. Why are your “favorite things” more relevant than other people’s? Tone deaf.

  29. Oprah
    I never really liked her. I always thought she talked too much with her guests and I thought she was too materialistic to be as spiritual as she pretends.

  38. Oprah Winfrey
    60 Minutes

    In fairness, lighting Black skin is different than lighting other skin tones. Her lighting was impeccable on her show. That aside, I like her less because of how she went after Michael Jackson with shaky evidence. It felt like a coordinated agenda. And to force her social media staff to turn on MJ too. After he gave her a huge scoop in the 90’s, and his family welcomed her. Plus Monique, and there’s more. It’s hard to be a fan of Oprah now.

  42. Oprah…still have love for her. However she has become more annoying recently. Still in my feelings over the interviews with the Jackson accusers.

  45. This is Oprah Winfrey. Just announced she’s leaving 60 minutes.

    I was never on the Oprah bandwagon. She was a little too preachy in my opinion. Lots of respect for how she changed TV and it’s view towards black women.
