Oprah Pregnant at 14 Revealed

Oprah pregnant at 14 — that is what Oprah herself revealed during a talk with CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight. Oprah said she got pregnant at age 14 and tried to abort the baby by drinking laundry detergent because her mother said “I would rather see a daughter of mine floating down the Cumberland River than to bring shame on this family and the indecency of an illegitimate child.” She said the baby boy died shortly after delivery.

“When the baby died, I knew that it was my second chance,” she said. “So I went back to school, and nobody knew. Because had anybody known at that time, I wouldn’t have been able to be head of student council. I wouldn’t have been able to be speaking champion in forensics. … I wouldn’t have been chosen as one of the two teenagers in the state of Tennessee to go to the White House conference on youth. None of those things would have happened, and the entire trajectory of my life would have been different.”
