The media mogul recently spoke with 'CBS Mornings' about being 'terrorized and vilified online' over her efforts on behalf of affected Maui residents.
"They are giving Oprah more air time playing the victim than the real victims," commented another."SAD!"
"And now Oprah is playing the victim," another posted."And blaming the internet for people being distrustful of her. Oprah, in case you read this, you are not the victim here, talk to the people who lost everything, that is where our sympathies and prayers are." On launching the People's Fund of Maui, Winfrey and Johnson said that they were inspired by country-music star. She took similar action after wildfires devastated parts of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, back in December 2016.
