After Oprah gave an epic speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, the internet was abuzz with rumors that Oprah should start going by Madame President Winfrey. That’s right, people want Oprah to run for president in 2020. The world is already sort of a huge dumpster fire, so it’s not really a surprise that we’d try to find comfort in a woman who speaks eloquently and also gives away free cars like candy.
But because we can’t have nice things, Seal randomly showed up to ruin the party. He posted this meme on Instagram insinuating that Oprah knew about Harvey Weinstein’s deplorable behavior and in fact may have been trying to help him. Pardon me while I go throw up.
He captioned the photo: “Oh I forgot, that’s right…..you’d heard the rumours but you had no idea he was actually serially assaulting young stary-eyed actresses who in turn had no idea what they were getting into. My bad. #SanctimoniousHollywood”
There’s a lot of talk in Hollywood about who knew about Weinstein’s behavior and what could have been done to stop it. It’s no secret that he was a powerful man with powerful friends, but Seal, buddy, come on. Why you gotta come for Oprah like that?
The photo had people up in arms (don’t come for Oprah unless you want to feel the wrath of literally everyone in the world) and that’s including Chrissy Teigen. She commented on the photo, “Hmm. Let’s just say we’ve all heard things about each other, haven’t we?” Cryptic…
Other people were like, “Seal, what the f-ck? Your ex, Heidi Klum was also friends with him…”
– @Seal You’re made of selective outrage & extreme hypocrisy. You called Oprah out for the crimes of a man she knew, but conveniently forgot to mention that your ex-wife and the mother of your children (Heidi Klum) was also a close friend of that same man. Did she “know,” too? pic.twitter.com/OYXRH4l62p

And that’s just the start of it. But it looks like the backlash has gotten to Seal, who posted this video to his Facebook. It’s…a lot.
