Today In PSA's: Oprah's Broadcast Is For "All The Rihannas" -- But Tyra's Got Something To Say Too

Posted by Jake Kalish

 

Today's live Oprah Winfrey Show is about victims of dating violence, and comes on the heels of Winfrey reminding her audience that one in four women in the US are battered at one time or another, saying on Friday's show:

Love doesn't hurt. I've been saying this to women for years. If a man hits you once he will hit you again.

This, obviously, was said on the heels of pop singer Rihanna's alleged (that's something we still have to say, right?) abuse at the hands of Chris Brown the night of the Grammys -- but if you think that Rihanna's the only celebrity whose abuse will be discussed, think again, as another daytime diva will be sharing her story. The question his... how much?

Winfrey says the Thursday episode is "dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world" and will include guest Tyra Banks.

Now, Tyra's spoken of her own abuse before, but has never divulged who it was that mistreated her. Speculation has long held that the likely culprit is director John Singleton, who, you know, if you've ever seen Baby Boy before, well, OK.

Will Tyra set the record straight? Should she? Would it help the discussion or cloud the issues? We're really interested to know what you think, so drop us a comment!
