Oprah Winfrey once dumped a boyfriend by changing the locks of her condo unit. Haitian filmmaker Reginald Chevalier claims that the media mogul wasn't as warm and embracing as she appears on screen.
Chevalier reached out to Gawker's Kitty Kelly, the author of "Oprah: A Biography," to reveal that he had been Oprah's lover in the '80s, before she dated longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham.
According to the scorned lover, he met Oprah, who was 32 at that time, when he appeared on her show in 1985. She was doing a segment on look-alikes, and he was there because he looked like Billy Dee Williams. She later told her producers to keep him backstage after the show or else she would fire them.
They went to lunch and began their relationship the very same day. Chevalier, who's seven years younger than the media mogul, said the age difference didn't matter.
