Oprah lost her speech on Michelle Obama for the Times Event
Oprah Winfrey had a minor meltdown over the piece she wrote about Michelle Obama for Time magazine.
The talk-show legend had happily agreed to profile the First Lady for the mag’s annual “100 Most Influential People” issue, but, unfortunately, her phone wasn’t quite as cooperative.
“I had written the whole piece on my BlackBerry, and I was feeling really so great about it,” Winfrey said at the Time Warner Center gala event Tuesday night. “I wrote it in the memo section, and I went to hit save and I hit another key — and it disappeared. I lost the whole thing!”
She continued, “I had been writing it for a long period of time. I’d add a line when I heard someone say something that I liked, and this is how I wrote it for, like, a month. I figured I would sit down the day it was due and polish the whole thing, but it was just gone!”
So what did the queen of talk TV do?
“I just stared at the BlackBerry for about 30 minutes,” she laughed. “I hit every single key to make it come back. I called the IT guy and then I sort of stared at my computer. I couldn’t even think of a sentence or a word [I had written]. It was like, ‘Oh my God. This has never happened to me, but of course it happens for [Michelle's piece].’ I had to start all over. I was panicked. It was an absolute deadline, so it was crazy.”
Her device must have been fully functioning at the Time gala, because she Twittered throughout the ceremony, which featured a speech by none other than Michelle Obama.
