Video After The JumpOprah Winfrey has been dogged by rumors that she has been having a lesbian affair witth her best friend Gayle King for years.
In an interview with Barbara Walters, the talk show host gets very emotional while describing her relationship with Gayle.
"She is the mother I never had. She is ... the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person," Oprah says as tears begin to flow.
Barbara asks why is it making her cry to talk about it.
"It's making me cry because I'm thinking about how much I never told her that," Oprah replies.
Barbara then asks about the rumors that she and Gayle are gay.
"Well I have said that we are not gay enough times. I'm not lesbian, I'm not even kind of lesbian. And the reason why it irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's number one. Number two ... why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."
The full interview airs Thursday December 9 at 9:00 PM EST on ABC.
