WYNONNA JUDD has snubbed OPRAH WINFREY’s offer of a talk show and The ENQUIRER learned why.
The country superstar is still ticked at the TV titan for promising her the same gig on her network last year, and handing it to Rosie O’Donnell instead, sources say.
“Wynonna simply gave Oprah a taste of her own medicine, and Oprah didn’t like it!” said the insider.
“Oprah, on the other hand, feels that Wynonna is an ingrate after she gave her and her mom Naomi a big break.”
Last April and May, Oprah’s network, OWN, aired the six-part reality series “The Judds,” which followed the mother-daughter duo on their reunion concert tour.
During the series, the two shared never-before-revealed secrets with each other, including the fact that both had been molested as children.
“Oprah loved the show,” said the insider.
“But she was most impressed with Wynonna, and started discussions with Wy about hosting her own talk show! Wynonna was thrilled, and started putting her own music projects on hold. Then Rosie agreed to do a talk show for OWN, and Oprah quickly forgot about Wynonna – who was crushed.”
Oprah just canceled Rosie’s flop of a show, but now it’s Oprah’s turn to be rejected.
“Wynonna told Oprah she’s too busy right now planning her wedding to drummer ‘Cactus’ Moser to consider doing a talk show,” said the network insider.
“Wynonna doesn’t feel that she owes Oprah a thing. In fact, she’s insulted that Oprah turned to her only after Rosie flopped.”
