Oprah Winfrey purportedly released a statement a few hours after the Miss Universe 2011 was crowned, yesterday. Below is the said statement which was allegedly shared by Oprah to NBC News:

“I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion…, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.”

The alleged Oprah statement made its rounds in social media sites and was even picked up by some news sites despite the absence of a reliable "mother link."

Just today, Oprah Winfrey's camp has denied the "Queen of Talk" making the said statement.

"There is no truth to the statement. Ms. Winfrey has not made any comments of this nature." the moderator of Oprah's official website said.
