Some more from Oprah (and Sarah needs to drop the 3rd person)
There aren’t any words to describe an act of such stupidity. It’s the story of my life so far… I haven’t faced the devil in the face. Because I was in the gutter at that moment," … I had been drinking and was not in the right place.”
[upon Oprah showing her the tape] “I am very honest and authentic to it, but… whatever,” says Sarah. “I feel sorry for her, bless her… I am completely drunk…. Sad, really,” ...“Thank you for showing me, because actually I feel really sorry for her. She looks exhausted. She looks… at the end of the day I didn’t let Andrew down, because he’s so important to me and the girls.”
So, if she was drunk, what had she had to drink? “Wine, I think, I don’t know,” Sarah replied. “I can’t really remember whether it was orange juice or wine. I had been on the road for so long, working on this treadmill.”
“When you put yourself in the gutter like this… I suppose I have tried to be perfect for the last 25 years…. I used food as comfort when I was 12 years-old. Little Sarah got lost on the way… You look at the devil in the face which it is… then you forgive. But it’s still a work in progress.”
Sarah said the money was for a friend who needed $38,000 desperately. Her story then meandered around multiple tales of multiple friends, all in various states of financial woe.
“I have freed Sarah from the treadmill of her long life of trying to be perfect,” she explained.
“You can’t ask the Queen or your ex husband for $40,000?” asks Oprah. “I wanted friendship with the boss (the Queen) because she’s the most wonderful grandmother. I then went to work and Weight Watchers saved my life,” said Sarah.
"A lot of people have told me to shut up and go away for a year. But that’s not me… I must go forward…I think I am authentically myself sitting here right now and I am going to give it a good shot.”
1) She needs to lay off the self-help, New Age books since she sounds flaky and they don't even seem to be helping!
2) Hasn't she learned the old standby that you should never basically start off a story 'I was so wasted....' (or something along those lines)
