Oprah responds to tweet mistaking her and Whoopi
If you mistake her for another famous black celebrity on Twitter, Oprah Winfrey won't be too mad.
The lifestyle guru, philanthropist, former TV host, actress and all-around queen was shown the Total Beauty tweet that mistook Whoopi Goldberg for her. CBS This Morning host Gayle King took a candid picture of Oprah's reaction, and it was priceless.
Oprah was less mad than she was befuddled, pointing out to the beauty product website that she and Goldberg looked nothing alike. And she definitely does not have a shoulder tattoo.
Earlier that evening, the Total Beauty Twitter was in shock when they saw that Oprah arrived at the Oscars red carpet with a hardcore shoulder tattoo and an All About Eve-inspired dress. But they were quickly proven wrong -- it wasn't Oprah.
The tweet was quickly deleted, but the damage was already done. Twitter pounced on the mistake (a gaffe that resonated even more with the #OscarsSoWhite controversy and the general lack of diversity at the Oscars Sunday night), and merrily made fun of the beauty product website.
