Oprah Winfrey Talks Suicidal Thoughts

Usually she’s the one asking the questions, but last night (January 17) Oprah Winfrey was in the hot seat on “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

The talk show queen spoke openly about her rough upbringing, especially her pregnancy and suicidal tendencies when she was fourteen years old.

Oprah explained, "Getting pregnant was a result of bad choices, not having boundaries, sexual abuse from the time I was 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13."

She thought, "Before the baby was born, I’m going to have to kill myself. [I did] stupid things like drinking detergent and all that kind of crazy stuff that you do when you’re trying to get attention, when you’re really just trying to cry for help."

Eventually, the baby passed away in a hospital. "When the baby died, I knew that it was my second chance."
