Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is caving into pressure and will remove gospel singer BeBe Winans from an upcoming episode of her show.
Winans appeared on Oprah’s show last month, and he taped another appearance during Oprah’s karaoke challenge.
Winans was charged with a misdemeanor domestic assault earlier this year, accused of shoving his ex-wife to the ground.
His ex-wife Debra Winans publicly complained that Oprah shouldn’t have allowed BeBe to appear on her show because she took a hard stance against Chris Brown when he was charged with assaulting Rihanna.
Many bloggers (myself included) accused Oprah of having a double standard.
Apparently, Oprah agrees because her spokesman issued a statement saying BeBe will no longer appear on the karaoke challenge episode.
