Oprah is facing lots of 30 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: backlash over her latest discussion about going no contact with 31 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 3: family members, and it's I mean, that's already a conversation 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 3: that you know, people are going to have heated feelings over, 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: but she's being accused of inappropriately framing the debate for 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 3: her podcast. 35 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: So she first kicked off the conversation. 36 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: She uploaded I don't know if you guys saw it, 37 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: a video to her Instagram account for her twenty two 38 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: and a half million followers to tease the episode. She said, 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: around one third of Americans have cut ties with their 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: family and that once considered taboo, going no contact with 41 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: your family is now being openly discussed by people of 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: all ages. People are now redefining what healthy boundaries look 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 3: like in family dynamics, and she explained that guests experts 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: would be talking about adult children who have cut off 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: their parents, and then parents who have been a strange 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: I don't know, you know how you become an expert 47 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: in that area, maybe a therapist or something. But after 48 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: the episode aired, viewers and listeners felt she approached this 49 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: whole debate the wrong way. Many people questioned why the 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: idea was presented as a broader trend rather than a 51 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: personal boundary shaped by an individual experience. And with this, 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: of course, everybody had an opinion Online. One person wrote, 53 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: I understand why people go no contact. I don't understand 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 3: why Oprah is showcasing it in this way that makes 55 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: it seem like a cult. Another person said, dear Oprah, 56 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: shut up. You have no clue about what people. 57 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: Really I know I feel her pain. 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: You have no clue about what people are going through, 59 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: and calling no contact a trend is just letting abusers 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: keep abusing. I've seen a lot of people discuss it 61 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: on TikTok as well, and of course it's you know, 62 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: it's up to you to do what works. But people 63 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 3: felt like she was kind of like promoting it and 64 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: like saying it's okay, rather than talking about why it happens. So, 65 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 3: you know, anything you do, everybody's going to have opinions. 66 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 3: And Leslie Kelsey Ballerini is shutting down all those rumors. 67 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 3: After weeks of online chatter about her breakup with Chase Stokes, 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: I mean he kind of included us in that. She 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: posted a message to fans saying she's in a steady 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: and happy place, which is definitely what I say when 71 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: I'm a steady and happy place. And once her personal 72 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: life kept private, she stressed that unless someone comes directly 73 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: from her, something comes from her. 74 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be believed. 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: This comes after, you know, they sparked their reunion buzz 76 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: when they were spotted holding hands in Croatia, followed by 77 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: Chase suggesting online that he had been blocked. She isn't 78 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: addressing any of that directly, just saying she's protecting her piece, 79 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: which is a buzz word buzz phrase these days, and 80 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: keeping her real life offline. But certainly something was going 81 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: on because he was like telling us that it wasn't 82 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: his fault, and we don't even we didn't even know 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: something was his fault and lastly, a really quick Giving Tuesday. 84 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: Today tonight, you guys were asking about Fred the Puppy. 85 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: I don't believe he's on the website yet, but he 86 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: will be featured in their Facebook live tonight if you 87 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: want to see little Fred, and you can email them 88 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: now and share your interest if you want to adopt him. 89 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: I saw some of it and that's amazing.
