New York City, Apr 13 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Biographer Kitty Kelley says that she knows about Oprah Winfrey’s biological father. However she is keeping quiet about the identity of her father. In an interview with Natalie Morales, Kitty said that for the book, she interviewed 850 people, and amongst them one of Oprah’s relative’s Katharine Carr Esters helped her a lot, and disclosed a lot of secrets about Oprah.
Esters told Kelley that it is widely believed that Winfrey’s father is Vernon Winfrey, but he is not her biological father. When Natalie asked her to reveal the name, then Kitty refused to name him. She said that, “I gave my word of honor I wouldn’t do it, because Mrs. Esters says that Oprah’s mother, it’s her place to do it. And so Mrs. Esters has not told Oprah, although Oprah has begged to find out who her father is.”
Kitty Kelley had also claimed that Winfrey had a romance with John Tesh in the 1970’s. Kitty’s book also says that the both of them were also a live-in couple. The 6-foot and 6-inches tall John Tesh and Oprah Winfrey, who was in her early twenties at that time, lived together in a Nashville apartment.
