Oprah winfrey was captured as she almost got attacked by a man called Calvin mitchell who claims to be her son during the awkward encounter outside
Colbert's New York studio.In the interview which labelled him Oprah's 'long-lost secret son',
Mitchell claimed that he has been estranged from Oprah for 20 years.
Mitchell said:
'I want to ask Oprah, "Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me?" I'm
still empty. I'm still searching. I don't have closure to this. I just
don't understand.'
Oprah was seen acknowledging Mitchell outside the studios following her
October 15 TV appearance and pressed her hand against his chest in the
familiar way she frequently does with fans - before he left his phone
number with her reps for further contact.
When he was younger, Oprah would allegedly send gifts to the boy with notes addressed: 'To my son Calvin, I love you.'
She also allegedly paid for Mitchell to attend the private Christian
boarding school, The Piney Woods School, in Mississippi until he dropped
out at age 17.
'I was young. I made a dumb decision, and Oprah wouldn’t forgive me. I
feel like what she did was wrong,' said Calvin, who later became
suicidal after she 'abandoned' him.'She told me, "Calvin, just try to work it out. You can do it. Just hang
in there." She was trying to inspire me to do what was right. But even
after the long pep talk she gave me, I still left.'
He added: 'I just wanted to come home, and Oprah didn't understand that.'
Oprah has always been incredibly generous in donating money to young
students, having given 400 scholarships to Morehouse College in Atlanta,
Georgia and the school she opened for girls in South Africa.
