Oprah's Tearful Apology

Oprah Winfrey’s begged students' parents at her all-girls academy in South Africa for forgiveness.

The media mogul’s flown out for an emergency meeting following claims of abuse at the Leadership Academy she opened there in January.

Oprah – who was herself abused as a child - wept: "I've disappointed you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

Reports coming out of South Africa also claim she’s so concerned about the allegations she’s been hearing that she even gave the girls her personal telephone number, her e-mail address and her mailing address so that they could contact her around the clock.
