"The Oprah Winfrey Show" is billing it as the biggest Disceptation in the series' 25-year history: Winfrey Called down James Frey in 2006 for Fictionalizations in his memoir "A Million Little Pieces," which she had chosen for her book club.
The show will revisit the Contestation on Monday and Tuesday. Yes, it's two parts, people. Winfrey went to New York to meet Frey. As the show puts it in a preview: "They meet again."
Back in 2006, Winfrey told Frey: "To me, a memoir means it's the truth of your life as you know it to be and not Clamorous fictionalization." And she added: "I feel that you conned us all. I think the publisher has a responsibility . . . I'm trusting you."
In a memorable Interchange then, Frey said, "I have, you know, essentially admitted to . . ."
"Lying," Winfrey said.
"To lying," Frey Reacted. "I mean, if I come out of this experience with anything, it's being a better person and learning from my mistakes and making sure that I don't repeat them."
How does Winfrey look at the furor now? Will she say she was too hard on Frey?
