In an interview that will air on Tuesday’s show, the Duchess of York admits to Oprah that she was drunk — or “in the gutter,” as she reportedly says — when a video camera caught her offering private information on her former husband, Prince Andrew in exchange for money.

Oprah must be slipping into senility to think that anybody would possibly care about this.
I agree completely. Who cares!
Sounds like one big giant snoozefest.
Well, you obviously care otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered clicking the link. Morons.
Daddy drinks because mommy cries.
Mommy cries because Daddy drinks.
Drunk?
LOL
Yeah right!
She sure as heck does NOT seem drunk in that video!
Is this the best excuse her team could come up with???
It was an incredibly stupid thing to do, to try and make money off of her ex, but from what I saw there was no promise the person would get business out of it – just that she would introduce them. It was incredibly stupid, but it’s not she was clubbing baby seals or anything. And this quote is without any context so you don’t know if that’s her excuse or just part of the story.
So Fergie is both a drunk and money grabbing sell-out of family secrets. Never could stand the fraud called Opera so I guess it’s appropriate that a hugely wealthy piece of trash interviews a broke “Royal” piece of trash.
Wow…just..wow. It must be wonderful to be you.
to Otis – “never could stand the fraud called Opera…” What on earth are you talking about? Translation please.
You’re a good match for Fergie – trashy and low class.
Is this all that Oprah has to offer the world? A drunk, broke and corrupt ex-royalty.
Nah, she also gave us a plagiarist.
I’d prefer she interview the drunk and corrupt current royals.
I’d have to be sugar drunk on an Oprah-sized eclaire to give a frak.
How is this any different than Hollywood celebs selling pictures of their wedding or pictures of their kids?
Does anybody actually take the British “royals” srsly, when are the British going to enter the new millenium and realize the Royals are irrelevant (they srlsy pay the Royals an allowance so they can play cricket and ride horses, ew)
The UK makes alot of money form tourisem partly because of the royal family. Don’t be naive.
Prince Charles has furthered the cause of organic agriculture in the UK. Don’t care for his wifey though.
Frankly I think that’s absloultey good stuff.
Why do you spell out every word except for seriously?
I am always perplexed by comment posters who say they could care less about the subject matter or celeb(s) the article is about but yet took time to read the article AND post a comment. If you don’t care why put so much effort into not caring?
It’s fun
Because they have no lives.
next, a well-publicized stay at rehab? but only after appearances on a succession of talk shows. And naive Americans will eat it up and feel sorry for her. What a phony, and a liar to boot.
What a weak excuse to explain her actions. It would have been refreshing had she accepted culpability. This has nothing to do with drinking. Ferguson has a long history of poor behavior. She’s a lower class woman who somehow made it into the Royal family and she’s been an embarrassment ever since. Where has all her money gone? Given that she’s an idiot I can only assume that she spent it all on stupidness.
Yeah, we hate her! Wait – what’d she do?
ahh yes, when all else fails…”I was drunk!”
I was stoned!
Learnnig a ton from these neat articles.
Seriously, who gives a rat’s ass about this lady and her “drinking” problems. Saying that she was “drinking” only makes her look more like an idiot.
Theres nothing like the rileef of finding what youre looking for.
