Oprah Winfrey Refused To Have Duggars On Show After Molestation Tip

The Queen of daytime talk was scheduled to interview the Duggar family in 2006 but just one day before their big sit down, Oprah’s team received an email that detailed Josh’s molestation allegations and they immediately contacted authorities.
Oprah Winfrey refused to interview the Duggars after her Harpo team received an anonymous tip that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were hiding an explosive family secret. Oprah was supposed to interview the entire family on Dec. 8, 2006 in Chicago but on Dec. 7, 2006 at 6:30am, Oprah’s company received an email that not only exposed Josh Duggar’s molestation bombshell but also that his family was covering it up. Even though the Duggars were already in Chicago to do the interview, she sent them packing.

The Real Housewives of New York’s Jennifer Gilbert Reveals Her Struggle With Her Son’s 'Traumatic' Disease

As a party planner to the stars, Jennifer Gilbert has thrown elaborate bashes for Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates, planning every last detail. But the self-confessed “control freak” admits in an exclusive interview with HollyBaby.com that she’s had a hard time coping with feeling so helpless when her 2-year-old son was diagnosed with alopecia.
On season three of The Real Housewives of New York, Jennifer Gilbert didn’t actually get a lot of screen time. Mainly because the 41-year-old is the most career-focused (at 29 she was named one of Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneurs of the Year for her event-planning company Save the Date) and sanest one in the bunch, but also partly because she didn’t want to include her kids — Blaise, 5, and twins Grey and Saxton, 2 — in the filming of the often-catty reality show. In the midst of all the show’s glitz and glamour, Jennifer was going through her darkest hour with Grey being diagnosed with alopecia, an autoimmune skin disease resulting in hair loss. She tells HollyBaby.com how she took the news, why she chose to tell the world about her son’s condition via Twitter, and whether or not she’s really friends with any of her outspoken co-stars.
