Media mogul Oprah Winfrey reveals becoming pregnant when she was fourteen in the February issue of O Magazine-on stands now.

“I would tell no one until I felt safe enough to share my dark past.” The years I was sexually abused, from age 10 to 14, my resulting promiscuity as a teenager, and finally, at 14, my becoming pregnant,” in the issue all about “firsts.”

The Queen of Talk discusses hiding the pregnancy until she was showing. In fact, she only told long-term BF Stedman and BFF Gayle about her darkest secret years after she’d met them.

The secret of her teen pregnancy was tied into Oprah’s first betrayal: “A member of my family, who has since passed away, had gone to Florida, headquarters for the National Enquirer, sat in a room, told them the story of my hidden shame — and left their offices $19,000 richer.”

Nineteen grand? Is that all? For that kind of juice, The Enquirer could have at least given O’s family member an even twenty. Oprah gives no details on whether or not she carried her baby to term, or what could have happened to the child.
