Oprah adds website disclaimer
2009-01-07 10:00
New York - Oprah Winfrey has yet to comment on Herman Rosenblat and his debunked story of meeting his future wife in a Nazi concentration camp.
But a brief disclaimer has been added to her website, which still devotes substantial space to the Rosenblat romance.
"On December 27 2008, Herman Rosenblat acknowledged fictionalising portions of his life story, including how he met his wife," reads the update, which was posted Monday.
"Based on this admission, the publisher of his forthcoming memoir - Angel at the Fence - cancelled plans to print his book."
Winfrey spokesperson Angela DePaul, when asked on Tuesday why Rosenblat's story - listed on the site as an example of Love Lessons From Amazing Couples - wasn't removed, referred to the update posted by "the oprah.com editorial team".
