This exchange is where she turns from being just upset to lashing out:
Winfrey: “OK. Let’s get back to Lily. Was your description of how she died true?”
Frey: “She committed suicide, yeah.”
Winfrey: “She hung herself?”
Frey: “I mean, that was one of the details I altered about her….Because all the way through the book, I altered details about every single one of the characters to render them unidentifiable.”
Winfrey: “So how did she die?”
Frey: “She cut her wrists.”
Winfrey: “And so hanging is more dramatic than cutting your wrists? Is that why you chose hanging?”
Frey: “I don’t think either are more dramatic than either…”
Tsk, tsk Oprah. Putting words in his mouth. Not cool.

She always does that as far as Im concerned. Always leaving the interviewed to say “yes.” or “no.”
You know, since the first thing you learn about interviews is to use open ended questions.
BUT SHE LIKES TO HEAR HERSELF TALK.
