Oprah Winfrey has banned the word ‘bitch’ from being used on her cable network.
In a speech at Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference, Oprah said OWN will be “fun and entertaining without tearing people down and calling them bitches. Imagine that. Imagine.”
“Growing up, I could never find my name on any of those license plates or lunch boxes,” she said. “Now, I know what it was for — to start my own network. A whole network, a whole channel that we’re designing to carry the Oprah Winfrey message.
“I know that as I start out on this next chapter, there’s going to be some mistakes. I know there’s going to be some stumbles. I know I’m a work in process and progress. I know nothing new is perfect, but I’m not scared. I’m not afraid.”
