Winfrey takes Winans off her show
NEW YORK (AP) - Oprah Winfrey says she's keeping singer BeBe
Winans (WHY'-nans) off her show until domestic violence charges
against him are resolved.
The gospel singer had taped appearances on Winfrey's ``karaoke
challenge'' and was on last Friday. Following the show, some
bloggers questioned whether Winfrey was guilty of a double standard
by including Winans when she took a strong stand against domestic
violence following Chris Brown's assault of then-girl friend
Rihanna.
Winans was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault last winter
for allegedly pushing ex-wife Debra Winans to the ground. He has a
court date set for Jan. 20.
Winfrey spokesman Don Halcombe says Winans is off the karaoke
segment.
