A photo of a man posing with "Oprah" has gone viral after a mother shared the snap of her son, who believed he was hanging with the famed television mogul. The woman captioned the photo, "So cute my son is flying home from his Cali trip and Oprah Winfrey was on his flight. How sweet of her to take pictures w everyone #awesome #toocool #jetlife #oprahwinfrey."
While it would be "#toocool" to pose in a photo with Oprah, the woman in the image is clearly not her, as many commenters pointed out. After the post started gaining attention, @puppymomma took it down and replaced it with a lengthy explanation.
"You may want to read this before becoming cruel, mean spirited or judgmental. Now whereas I don't mind what anyone thinks as I live a very happy peaceful life. As a parent as I'm sure many can relate when your child becomes involved you will be quick to set facts straight.
Firstly, I was NOT on this flight nor did I take this picture my son has been flying coast to coast alone for yrs. Of course I didn't think this woman looked much like Oprah but when my son told me the story I thought OK guess she just looks different as many people do w no make up.
I could not fathom a pilot and lady lying to my son. He called me on his layover so excited telling me who he had just met. She told him she was doing a piece for O magazine and was allowing people to come to the front of the plane for pictures at the end of the flight. He said the pilot even thanked her by name.
I feel so bad for my kiddo who here he thought got to meet someone special not only to be doused w the fact it wasn't but now cruelly made fun of by adults for being lied to smh. So plez learn facts before judging someone...thank you to those who actually care to know what happened."
Would you have been fooled?
