Bruce Willis Lashes Out At Oprah and Her Hypocrisy
Bruce Willis has jumped to the defense of controversial author James Frey, declaring he was unfairly attacked on Oprah Winfrey's TV show last month. Frey has been criticized for embellishing parts of his best-selling book, A Million Little Pieces, which was originally billed as a memoir.The Die Hard star says on TV show Access Hollywood, "Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks. That's a great book and so is the follow-up book. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a great work of fiction... to this guy having to go be sucker punched on Oprah by one of the most powerful women in television, just to grind her own axe about it.
Hey, Oprah. You had President (Bill Clinton) on your show and if this prick didn't lie about a couple of things, I'm going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, OK? He can write about whatever he wants. It's fiction. It's just shameful how he was treated in some of these things."
Willis, a Republican party supporter, was one of the few celebrities to publicly back the war in Iraq.
During an interview Willis said: "Peculiar thing back home is that the liberal media was trying to portray it as a bad war."
"Somebody that supports the military like he has and that comes to visit soldiers - that's important to us," said Greg Pagan, from 3rd Brigade of the 101st's Airborne Division based at Telafar.
Actor Bruce Willis has performed before US soldiers in Telafar, northern Iraq.
Wild Thing's comment......
I am not saying to forgive this guy Frey for writing a Non-Fiction Book/Memoir/AutoBiography that was fictionalized. But I have to give Bruce Willis credit for his laying into Oprah (I am NOT a fan of hers) the way he did and bashing Clinton is okay by me.

I like Bruce Willis. He’s a real man, not some emasculated male.
