I'm struggling to imagine in what context this could be an OK conversation. What is she saying here, that it's OK that it happens? Or that it happens because it's not that hard to pull off?
Look, I'm a girl. When I was about 7 I ran an errand for my mom and dropped off some money that she owed a local store in town. When I walked to the owners desk at the back of the store, he talked with me for a while, then he slipped his hand up my t-shirt in the back and started rubbing my back. I remember it very well. I pulled back and said, "Staaaaaaaahp!" Then I ran home and told my mom. She never had me run any errands to that store again. I know Dad made a trip over there when he got home. Never found out what happened.
But I'm just saying, kids have an innate instinct about that kind of shit whether they say anything or not. Oprah sounds like a typical abuser who likes to talk themselves into believing it's ok because "it feels good" to the kid.
What a POS!
You’re an idiot. Kids play touch games all the time. Because it feels good. That’s all she’s saying. If it feels good it feels good.
That doesn’t disqualify her from being a POS. As someone pointed out here earlier - they will skirt right next to the truth and show themselves but not.
And yet. What’s she’s saying is true.

Whatever Oprah may have been involved in and I suspect it's something, this clip isn't proof of anything and it hurts our cause to use this as proof that she's a pedophile. In this video, Oprah was talking about the complicated feelings that arise when a child victim is molested by someone they are close to. There can be parts of the relationship, including the physical relationship, that feel good. Many child victims have reported this. She is saying that's part of what makes it so devastating. These mixed emotions can cause the victim to experience immense shame, self-blame, and self-hatred. It can take decades for some victims of this kind of childhood sexual abuse to realize that they weren't consenting participants in the relationship, but innocent victims of a manipulative abuser.
