DEBRA WINANS SATISFIED WITH OPRAH’S BEBE BAN
Nov 9th, 2009 by Bilal Ali
The ex-wife of gospel singer BeBe Winans says she’s pleased with the decision of Oprah Winfrey to remove him from her “Karaoke Challenge” until his domestic violence case is resolved.
Debra Winans made headlines last week when she questioned Winfrey’s stance against domestic violence in light of her ex-husband’s continued appearances on her talk show despite his domestic abuse case.
In February, BeBe was arrested for allegedly shoving Debra to the pavement outside of her home. He is due back in court on Jan. 20.
Earlier in the year, Winfrey devoted an entire hour to domestic violence after Rihanna was beaten by Chris Brown. In response to Winfrey’s decision late last week to drop BeBe, Debra gave the following statement to TMZ.com:
“It further demonstrates the fact that Oprah continues to be a strong voice against domestic violence and that she’s willing to take the steps necessary to defend the defenseless.”
