Oprah Winfrey’s Ex: “We Used to Smoke Rocks a Few Times a Week” True!

Posted by Bossip Staff

oprah-ex-and-her

Oprah has a ex-boyfriend that is smearing her name and claiming the she used to cook up rocks for them to take to the neck, but get this, it is all true supposedly:

“Oprah made a “rock” of cocaine and baking soda in the tube and heated it, a method known as freebasing. “[Oprah] then put the lit torch on the rock, inhaled and held the smoke in her lungs for a long time. When she finally exhaled, she began to shake violently as she put the pipe down, she had trouble catching her breath and her eyes got big as saucers.” We smoked at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes we would smoke up until her limo was waiting to take her to the studio to perform her show…” Randolph Cook’s relationship with Oprah was in 1985.

Here’s Oprah herself from a 1995 episode of her show:

“In my 20’s, I’d done this drug and I know exactly what you are talking about.” She said the drug use occurred while she was an anchorwoman on a television news show. “It’s my life’s great big secret. It was such a secret because–I realize (with) the public person I have become–if the story ever were revealed, the tabloids would exploit it and what a big issue it would be.” She went on to explain, “But I was involved with a man in my 20s who introduced me to the same drug that you’ve been talking about and, like Patrice, I always felt that the drug itself is not the problem but that I was addicted to the man.” She admitted: “I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t have done for that man.”

It is hard to imagine Oprah cooking up yayo, let alone hitting the rock till she does the funky chicken and her eyes are the size of golf balls. Say it aint’ so “O”.

  1. It has to be true if Bossip posts it!

  2. ImWhatItIs

    CRACKHEAD

  3. ImWhatItIs

    NIGHTSTALKER. THIS IS ALL OVER THE NET. NOT JUST BOSSIP.

  4. pm

    He was puttin it on her.

  5. Aunt Viv

    It’s old news that Oprah has struggled with some demons in her life.
    This dude is starved for attention (though clearly not starved for food-look at him!).


  6. Gangster to be an admitted former crack head.

  7. Lauren Dawkins Bleeds Green...Go Eagles!!!

    Y is that hard to imagine Bossip? Drugs have no face nor name…it could happen to anyone…SAD.

  8. Lauren Dawkins Bleeds Green...Go Eagles!!!

    LMAO@ Auntie…

  9. ***** Said

    Oprah’s drug dealer name was Harpo. He used to sling crazy rocks in the Chi, but he was known for giving people pure baking soda. That’s where Oprah got the famous line in Color Purple. “You told Harpo to beat me”….out of her money that was.

  10. Shereee Fine but Craxy

    Was that when she got real skinny?

  11. MS. SIPPI

    Bossip wrong for that picture of O.

  12. grillfixer

    y is it impossible 4 O 2 have smoked crack rock’s?
    that ish is funny, cause ppl don’t have to stay on drugs just because they have done drug’s, so big up 2 o 4 not becoming like ur crackhead aunti n sister, who is still smokin today!!

  13. Politicker

    In the 1980’s everybody and they moms experimented with rocks..

    This is why so many people connect with her…she shares her ups & downs, imperfections, etc…

  14. Resurrected

    Well what ever she did some where along the way she did something right. She is far above his status now. I tell you your friends are so close to becoming you enemies for the right price, watch who you share your secrets with one day you might be a Oprah.

  15. I LUV RAY LEWIS

    She said on her show that she smoked it once. Old news lets move on, she is obviously not smoking it anymore.

  16. Man named Hawk

    She revealed that ***** YEARS ago! You aint breaking no news here.

  17. MeMe_Slim

    I was about to say I remember her admitting she smoked. You’d think she’d act a little better than she does towards certain people but w/e. Her life. Not a fan.


  18. this is OLD news, next….you can’t be a crack head now and still have 1.3 billion in the bank, next……


  19. What a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Roderick

    UAunt Viv:…(though clearly not starved for food-look at him!).

    BA WA WA WA!!!

    Aunt Viv, haven’t you heard times ‘is’ hard; it’s hard for a pimp to make ends meet.

  21. Swag-a-licious

    He wants attention for crack smoking?!?!?wtf – I thought Diddy was an attention freak,but he has nothing on this guy!

    @***** said – literally SMDH!

    Harpo is Oprah spelled backwards. You have a good imagination though, let me make you a star!!!


  22. Was she using an a***** at the stove with latex gloves? I find this hard to imagine…

    Well, I guess she got over her addiction cause she sure isn’t skinny?

  23. Swag-a-licious

    She’s rich biyotch!!!

    I had to say it -
    ***Now you can return to your normal blogging already in progress***

  24. Resurrected

    Until you achieve what she has there is not much to say. Mistakes make you wiser and many never learn no matter what they go through.

  25. Ridingfinest

    At least she was woman enough to admit she once had a drug habit unlike Whitney “crack is wack” but she lost all of her teeth which means she had to have been smoking crack for at least 20yrs. Good for Oprah final stage in concuring her addiction is admiting you used to smoke that *****!

  26. Swag-a-licious

    To the richest (self made) black woman on Earth:

    You said:
    “I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t have done for that man.”

    - Well you defintely didn’t let him block your blessings – Good look….very, very good look.

    Now I bet there isn’t ANYTHING he wouldn’t do for you!

  27. Jaye

    Who cares…

    If she did or didn’t. Life goes on. And who is REALLY gonna take this jokers word over Oprah?

    -Jaye

  28. Aunt Viv

    @Roderick,
    “Aunt Viv, haven’t you heard times ‘is’ hard; it’s hard for a pimp to make ends meet.”
    ___________________________________________
    Shiiiiiit, you ain’t lyin, times are hard. Desperate times definitely called for his desperate measure lol!

  29. babegyrl

    ummm this is soooo old…… It was when she was a news anchor on WJZ here in Baltimore, supposedly her man/pusher at the time was a local radio personality by the name of Tim Watts…. Big man need to go sit his big azz down some where………..

  30. T-Bird

    He must really be down in the dumps to do some crap like this. He probably asked her to break him off some of her dough and she said kiss my @$$. He probably treated her like $#!t when he was with her anyways. What goes around comes right back around. This man’s plot is sunk…she has already admitted it…he needs to just get on…its ovah. He best stop before he ends up with a defamation of character suit on his hands.

  31. Marquis de Sade

    What’s the big surprise? Most modern day ***** *****es had a crack habit at one time or another. It’s part of their character.

  32. Sexy N S*****y

    If its true, so the hell what! She aint smoking now as we can see. So dude is a lame and he should have been came out with it years ago maybe people would care. The ish people do for what ever reasons! Oprah must have turned him down about some money or played him. SMH

  33. Zee

    lol@***** Said… U funny


  34. The positive and negative things in everyone life makes them who the person is today. Without Oprah experimenting drugs and other issues she has had, she wouldn’t be the understanding, great person she is today.

    This guy like all the others “GET RICH OFF OF OPRAH”

    ****Hey BOSSIP, this should be one of your headings!!!****

    they always end up looking like fools.

  35. And.....(with 5 dots)

    Oprah has done it and told us all about it….been molested by an Uncle, had a baby at 14, smoked rocks, supposed lesbian, etc… but she is STILL STANDING and the most powerful woman on the earth. Dude needs to get a job. Movin on….

  36. Lady J

    This woman is the most successful African-American woman….. what’s your point?? We all make mistakes; the important question is has one grown from his mistakes or does he continue to wallo in dirt??………..Go Oprah!!

  37. Sookie

    laughin at Aunt Viv! so true hahaha…..

    why is this man comin out with this? clearly he has no respect for himself let alone her. another *****CLOWN

  38. Redd Tony

    Damn! That was the 80’s during the big crack epidemic…but Oprah?

    I dont know, anything is possible these days..If you can smoke crack and become Mayor, then I guess you can smoke crack and become a Billionaire…..lol

  39. Redd Tony

    @Re

    All crack heads aint skinny!

  40. lala#1

    It’s old news that Oprah has struggled with some demons in her life.
    This dude is starved for attention (though clearly not starved for food-look at him!).
    __________________________________________
    lmbao!!!!! Damn, everyone trying to make a quick buck nowadays!! Damn shame.
    that dude is probably the reason why Oprah is going to remain single!

  41. Glade

    I HEARD OPRAH WAS COOKING UP O’S AND WAS KNOWN AS AUNTI JEMIMA IN THE STREETS BECAUSE SHE HAD THEM PANCAKES READY IN THE MORININ …TRU STORY ASK ABOUT HER LOOL

  42. Ro Ro

    I respect any star or person in the public’s eye that admits to something before it can be used against them. I commend Oprah.

    Real Question? Is that why Oprah was so heavy in the beginning of her talk show days?? Did she put on weight after her crack use or was she always a larger scaled woman??


  43. @Redd Tony

    That is true…


  44. What a ignorant fat slob he is. Just trying to make a dollar on this crap. Oprah don’t give a care about what he says, she has made her money and living large and well respect. This sucka on the other hand is an apparent loser with nothing going for him but old news, get a life, get a career and stop smoking crack, now ditto that.

  45. Tealeaf

    Damn, you killing Oprah in the photos this week

  46. Marshabio

    I can take that sh*t with a grain a salt. “Ain’t” what you do, but how you do it… Doesn’t change my respect for her. Hell, smoking rocks a couple times a week sure didn’t stop her success.

    I’ll be damned, Oprah know’s how to do EVERYTHING! COOKING UP ROCKS TOO???? DANM! MY GIRL!!

    By the way, that ***** ought to be shot.

  47. Glok9n: The real glok !!! i dont speak in ***** tongues!!!

    WELL OPRAH WHAT BETTER WAY TO LOSE THE FAT YOU COMPLAING ABOUT BYTCH, THAT IZ A GOOD WAY TO KEEP YOUR WEIGHT DOWN …..SO DO A SHOW ON THAT OL CRACKDIET THAT YOU WAS ON…… CRACKHEAD BYTCH!!!


  48. what ever she is a wealthy former crackhead.. not rich wealthy .. ill take that anyday!

  49. Glok9n: The real glok !!! i dont speak in ***** tongues!!!

    ONCE A CREAK HEAD ALWAYZ A CRAKHEAD …I KNOW SHE BE FEINING FOR A TASTE ….SHE A RICH CRAKHEAD I KNOW THAT!!! BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!!! AND TO THE SUCKA THAT CAME OUT WITH THIS TELL STORY ON DR.PHIL!

  50. tg

    So what Oprah did drugs and survived to tell about it. I don’t see the big deal in something that happened 20 years ago. And @ Glok9n – I did some, too, around 15, 20 years ago and I have absolutely NO desire at all to do that drug again. So it is possible that Oprah has NO desire at all to do that drug. So it’s not once a crackhead – always a crackhead. Plenty of people get cleaned and stay clean. You have to had been there to know the deal. So don’t discourage people who might be on crack right now by telling them there is no hope.

  51. Yikes

    No

  52. me*****

    It aint what u do, its how u do it. She still taking care of business.


  53. [...] Via Bossip: [...]

  54. You Smell Me??

    Richest crackhead I know!

    Sike.. Oprah is cool, ***** who cares what she did in the past, as long as she has learned (and earned) from it….

  55. Marshabio

    I could see Gail smokin’ a rock or two.

  56. Chanel Shades

    I hope Oprah sues him and then has him skinned alive and wipes her ***** with his skin. He is a loser.

  57. kirby

    who gives a *****. the ***** was years ago.

  58. WIFEY06

    best comeback, comeup, for a recovering crack head!!!!!

    Ain’t even mad!!!!


  59. Years ago!HELL,if she SQUASHED IT , I have too! LOL!

    Oprah’s the bomb,so all is forgiven!

    LOL@ Oprah cookin up yayo! lollll!
    too-funny!

    i.e.~ We have all come short of the grace of………….

  60. Ms. Savala

    On her show you can see those big bags under her eyes. That’s the number one tell-tale sign of drug use. Hell she is human……..

  61. always knew

    All this stuff in her past, what celebrity hasn’t had a former lover come out and tell all…No surprise, here..Dude, is busted and broke, what better way to earn a few dollars without having to do anything but defame a former lover….What a smart man? ( I was being sarcastic!)

    BTW: If this had been a black woman doing this to a black man, there would’ve been all kinds of messed up and rancid comments about the black gold-digging female, but when it’s a black male, it’s just a tell-all….This guy is a loser and I hope noone buys his book…

  62. Anitapple

    well she has to be the most successfull crackhead’s i know.i’m just saying


  63. ewewewewewweewww.. nasty ***** leech.. keep runnin ya mouth dude..

  68. JCB

    If Oprah admitted it in 1995 on her show, why is it relevent now? Ugh, give me a break!

  69. tj

    Whatever. Everybody in entertainment has done a lil something. Oprah has been open and honest about all of this. I feel sorry for the publisher of this book because no one will buy it and Oprah can reject all of this publishers future endeavors. And I would support that. Uh. And people say Beyonce got haters…

  70. hey girl

    She already said she smocked crack nefore.. he is the dumb ***** all she is going to do is have a show about it and book block his *****. But damn she is the best rehabilitated crack head I have ever seen and I know a few…

  71. Mrs. Rance

    I don’t really care about O’s recreational drug use from 25 – 30 years ago. She’s clearly not a crack head so luckily she didn’t let it consume her. Later for this idiot trying to make a buck.

  72. Raquel26

    Who cares. She’s human AND she admitted her mistake(s). We live and learn.

    How many of us on here would put out our business here on Bossip? Or even to a stranger?

    Exactly. No one wants to share their skeletons. I know I have some and I DAMN sure aint telling ya’ll *****s. :)


  73. Why would you publish 20 year old news. If Oprah had never admitted doing drugs, then that would be news. Her old boyfriend must be broke.

  74. WakeUPeople

    What a s*****bag! No wonder she doesnt trust men!!

  75. FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    ANYWAY YOU PUT IT OPRAH WAS SUCKIN’ ON SOMEBODY’S *****…WHETHER IT WAS COOK’S ***** OR THE GL***** *****

  83. sunflower72

    I remember the episode when she revealed this….this is old news. This guy aught to be ashamed of himself, trying to make a dollar off this old azz story. Get a job dude!

  84. poetess116

    to ***** Said:
    People kill me talking about crap they don’t know. Harpo is Oprah spelled backward fool. It’s not a real person she named the character just because she could. She could buy and sell any of these people talk trash about her too.

  85. Ignorance is Contagious

    OK SEriouslY! Who is responsible for teaching our men that it is there job to drag down a sista everytime she is succesful?

    Its getttin old.

  86. jandj'smom

    the *****in world is on CRACK!!

  87. HarlemWorld

    What makes anyone think just because you have a billion dollars you’ve never done anything suspect. That’s how you get that kinda money in the first place!


  88. She’s not smoking it now, so what? http://www.SoldieressChronicles.com

  89. Cara

    Well judging by her weight, she is certainly not a crackhead any longer.

  90. deesac

    even if she did that was light years ago and whats his purpose of say all of these now.He need to go back into the cave he came out of.

  91. CodyCole

    SO THE F*CK WHAT!

    IF OL’ GIRL CAN HIT THE PIPE, AND STILL BECOME A SUCCESSFUL MOGUL-BILLIONAIRE (NOT THAT I’M CONDONING HER ACTIONS), THEN THAT JUST SHOWS HOW STRONG SHE IS AND HOW FAR SHE’S COME. SOME PEOPLE’S WHOLE WORLD CRUMBLES WITH ONE HIT. IT DIDN’T CHANGE OR DERAIL HER FROM WHO SHE IS TODAY OR HOW SHE’LL BE REMEMBERED IN HISTORY.

    This dude needs to GET A LIFE!

  92. BellaY

    Oprah admitted to smoking crack years ago and people didn’t believe it. They said she was just saying that for ratings. I guess she wasn’t lying.

  93. lisa

    Sometimes it takes mistakes to happen, to propel you on to something bigger. And, her wallets are big.

    Big ‘O’

    A little scandal always makes for a great biography…that is if you become successful.

  94. JUDY

    Oprah told everyone years ago that she did crack. She was forced to come clean because someone was trying to blackmail her. No one is perfect, everybody has baggage and imperfections, thats what makes us human.

  95. 7lady

    NOW THATS ONE ***** MADE N*GGA RIGHT THERE!

    SAY WHAT YOU WILL BUT SHE COLD AND SHE ONE OF THE RICHEST WOMEN IN THE WORLD! AND GOT A HEART TO GO WITH IT!

    THE DEVIL LOVE TO TRY TO TEAR PEOPLE DOWN!

    KISS MY ***** AND OPRAHS TOO!

  96. 7lady

    OPRAH BEEN PUT HER HUMANLIKE QUALITIES OUT THERE:

    DRUGS
    RAPED
    A LIL PROMISCUOUS
    HARD RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOM
    HER WEIGHT
    NOT GETTING MARRIED
    I THINK SHE HAD AN ABORTION

    FOOL BYE!

  97. ohnoudient

    Sniffing cocaine didn’t get this mongrel any attention, so now it’s crack. Somebody please put the lights out on this pitiful excuse for a black man. Oprah has admitted she sniffed *****e when she was younger. This fat fart needs a J.O.B.!

    I love it when you break up with a man, get with another one and the first one can’t stand it. Ain’t *****ody’s fault that he was too stupid to see what he had when he had it. Too late now….

  98. ***** Said

    @ any who thinks I didn’t Know Harpo was Oprah spelled backward, go and check my comment in the previous Oprah post. Jokes, people. Jokes!!!!

  99. Obama's Cousin

    Well she’s the most successful crackhead ever!

  100. copelli21

    Always somebody out there trying to capitalize.

    What’s in the dark, will always be brought to light.

    Oprah is a smart ***** black woman.

    She has put all her shiite out there. There are no surprises. So by the time some azz like this comes trying to exploit…it’s not news. O done told us all her shiite. All she gotta do is sit back and reap the stacks.

    Go, O!

    WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, U LIVE AND YOU LEARN, OBVIOUSLY SHE LEARNED! NEXT……….

  103. CaneRiver1

    This is what happens when you have 20 years to think about would of, could of, should of. He was on this money train in the making and got off. Now he has to wave at the train as it p*****es by and try to catch anything like the rest of us. We are all in the some line to get maybe some studio tickets, cars, etc. You were in the front, now get to the back of the line fool. You had your turn aready.


  104. do u actually think she would smoke the rock,although she looks crazy,we know what the big eyes r about,and less not forget the mouth not working take a good look(closer).now U can laugh!!

  105. Roe ski Love

    The dude who put this out there years later is a real *****! Jealous ***** blew it, now he wants to get back in the limelight somehow.


  106. I’m sure Oprah has done alot of things shes not proud of. We all have. Sic the team on him O.

  107. Jeana

    So what, it’s in her past. He’s stupid and needs attention. He needs to get a life.

  108. lady m

    This is OLD news… Oprah already discussed this issue. SO WHAT?! He who is without sin, cast the first stone. And, that dude, Cook, is just trying to get some play. He probably tried to blackmail Oprah in ‘95 when she first talked about it and that’s why she told the ish herself. Now he’s back trying to get some attention and Oprah’s money. Fat boy needs to sit the eff DOWN and keep munchin’ on his 3 piece original cuz *****ODY cares!!

  109. Margo

    Looks like Oprah has moved on with her life. I wonder if he got a fiddy for this story?

  110. You Cant Read

    Man if Oprah can smoke a rock or two what am I doing sitting here?

  111. posh

    bossip is bull. why do yall go out of your way to find the ugliest pictures of celebs to post? i know there’s much better pictures of oprah than this. bossip=*****’s.

  112. RE RE

    I don’t give a ***** what rich ***** Oprah smoke or drank all I know is she should pay me to kick his fat *****.

  113. Candy Girl

    We’ve all probably done something in the PAST we’re not so proud of. If Oprah was still smokin rocks she wouldn’t be in the position she’s in today. ***** this **********er for trying to come out now about this bull***** – he better what his back because “O” don’t play. And bossip ***** you too for posting some ***** like this about her. She one of the more positive sisters out here in the world making a change. ***** you!

  114. txgals

    I don’t believe it for a second. Yes, she’s admitted to drug use but not with this loser.

  115. Honut Sintu

    This is not breaking news, its broke news. Oprah already admitted to the drug thing years ago.

  116. deeq

    you ppl sound so stupid trying to take up 4 oprah like you all know her personally.non of u dumb *****es know what she has and is doing off the camara.further more the claim is that she was smoking crack while she was telling everyboby she used to smoke it.she was addicted to crack cause she still was doing it after the man was gone.cocaine is a hell of a drug.


  117. Last time I checked,Oprah has her own G-4 private plane and I do not.
    Who is Joetheplugger??

  118. crazychris

    yeah oprah smoked crack hell everybody famous smoked crack or did some type of drugs. this is old news oprah’s also a lesbian and an atheist.


  119. I’M NOT SUPRISED IF THAT’S OPRAH’S PAST…WE ALL HAVE THEM!!! YALL BETTER QUIT ACTING AS IF SHE CAN’T DO NO WRONG!! WHY THE SHOCK SHE’S BEEN THROUGH SOME S**IT!!!
