Oprah Winfrey recently opened up about her rough childhood, saying that being molested by relatives, and being raped and impregnated at 14 by her uncle, led her to consider suicide.
I hit rock-bottom, Winfrey said on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. I became pregnant and hid the pregnancy. I’d intended to kill myself actually. I thought there’s no way other than killing myself. I was just planning on how to do it. If I’d had the Internet, I might not be alive because now you can just Google how to do it.
Winfrey says she had a miscarriage, which her father called a “second chance” for her. Winfrey says she absorbed those words as a mantra. “I was, in many ways, saved by that, and I made a decision that I was going to turn it around.
