Oprah Winfrey tells Hoda Kotb that she has three close friends.
Winfrey and Shriver spoke about their friendship for the first time on the podcast. And as you can imagine, being friends with Winfrey is quite the experience.
Both women experienced what Winfrey called “aggressions and micro-aggressions” as they started their careers. Shriver was there in the years before Winfrey “became Oprah.” “Every newspaper, everybody was saying, ‘You shoulda kept your day job. The struggling OWN. What’d you leave The Oprah Show for? It’s a disaster.’ Just one story, after another story, after another story,” she said.The pair were together when a song came on,“And I was, like, ‘How do you know that song?’ And she’s, like, ‘How do you know that song?’” said Shriver, who was getting separated at the time and shared that the song had helped her.
To Shriver, that meant the world. “Because I don’t feel like, in my life, I was cherished. Pushed, motivated — you know, all of these, kind of, really strong words — but not cherished.”
