Oprah took the high road in response to President Trump's tweet, as Ellen fired back in her defense
-
Before Oprah Winfrey came out as a guest on today's edition of Ellen, Ellen DeGeneres read Trump's tweet from Monday complaining about her being "very insecure" on 60 Minutes. “Oh no you didn’t,” Ellen said in response. “No, no, no, he’s gone too far. Oprah is my friend. And when you mess with Oprah, you mess with me.” Yet when Oprah did come out, she opted not to respond to the president. "I don't like giving negativity power," she said, "so I just thought, 'What?' What I actually really did was I went back and looked at the tape to see if there was any place that that could be true. Did I feel like it was slanted or biased? I went back and looked at every tape; I called the producers." ALSO: Oprah surprises Tiffany Haddish on Ellen, leaving her crying tears of joy.
