Oprah jumped to defend him and now she is cutting him loose much to her credit.
"I have been really embarrassed by this," said Winfrey, whose praise for Frey's book in September helped make it the top-selling book on nonfiction lists in the United States last year.
"I really feel duped," she told Frey on her television show. She said he had betrayed millions of viewers.
She also did this with Frey sitting right next to her. So she confronted him and got him to admit that he lied in his book.
He spent two hours in jail, not 87 days, and the account of his breaking up with a woman who later committed suicide happened in a much shorter period of time, with their separation occurring while he was taking care of personal business in North Carolina, not while he was in jail, he said.
She committed suicide by slashing her wrists, he said, not by hanging herself.
Also he admitted that all of the Smoking Gun stuff was correct as well. It is a pretty low thing to lie about things through the whole book and then pretend that it was true. He did say that the Smoking Gun was full of crap at the beginning and now he admits that they were spot on.
