Vernita became pregnant with Oprah as a teen after a brief relationship. Unprepared for motherhood, she gave the baby to her mother’s farm in Mississippi, where Oprah spent her childhood.

She returned to her mother’s house when she was six years old. Oprah was forced to sleep on the porch at her mother’s house due to a lack of space.

While her mother was at work, Oprah was sexually abused by family members and others in the house.

Oprah became pregnant at the age of 14, but her child died as a result of premature birth.

“I didn’t see or hear from my mother between the time I had a child and the time I became a TV star,” Oprah explained to Ebony magazine.

She eventually decided that forgiveness was the best course of action. “What you owe your parents is honour and respect,” she said, quoting the Bible. As a result, I’ve provided a comfortable financial future for both of my parents.”
