Yvette Carnell: So Lauryn Hill Refused Oprah an Interview? Good.

by Yvette Carnell

After Lauryn Hill started popping out babies by that Marley boy, I began to seriously question her judgement. After her unplugged album, or unhinged rather, depending on your reaction, I began to question her sanity.

But now that the multi-talented star who produced a classic album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, has turned down an interview request from Oprah Winfrey, I think I have reason to be optimistic about how Hill’s story will end.

It’s not that I’m not curious about Hill’s tribulations in the years since her genius  debut album, I am. We all are. I would enjoy nothing more than for Hill to have an open field to air her thoughts and reflections. Problem is, Oprah’s field is not a healthy environment for any black celebrity’s confessions because Oprah is now, sadly and regrettably, trafficking in the pathology of crest-fallen Negroes.

    I always enjoy Oprah’s interviews, not for the nosy factor, but for the informative factor of those who are or were in the limelight. I also applaud an, “I’m not doing an interview” because I don’t want to as well. Easy breezy – yes or no. Oprah is not doing anything differently than what she has done for most of her career; after all she is a journalist.!

    Good for you Lauryn Hill, refusing to talk to Oprah. Oprah is a dealer in misery, parading people who crave attention and have to pay for it with the intimate details of their misery. Her audience feel much better about themselves witnessing how miserable these attention seekers are.I have been very worried about Lauryn Hill, but her refusal of Oprah is the best sign yet that the girl has still got her Mojo. All the best for the future, Ms. Hill.

    Good for you Lauryn! Happy to see that you’re still arouund and not putting all your business in the street. Oprah is trash! Why doesn’t she tell the world why she is childless, without a husband, and aside from having a bunch of money, she is a “loser”.

    Truthfully I feel people need to back up off Lauryn Hill and let her live her life and raise them beautiful kids in peace. People don’t know her exact situation or circumstance. For all we know someone could’ve grossly been mis- managing her money. I loved her mtv unplugged album and understood exactly where she was going with it. Check out Mystery of iniquity…Carefully listen to what she’s dropping…Real talk persecution comes with the price of fame…
