Can't get through the LAT firewall.

In one interview Oprah says that she wanted more voices included 

“The only question for me is, what is the right thing to do… for me,” Winfrey said Tuesday on CBS This Morning. “And so, before the public pressure had started, before Russell had gone with his Instagram, I had gone to the filmmakers and I had said to them, ‘Houston, I think we have a problem here,’ because new information had come forward the very first time this was announced and I said, ‘I think we need to pull out of Sundance and if we can’t pull out of Sundance, I’m gonna have to take my name off. I don’t wanna have to take my name off because it’s gonna be a big hullabaloo.'”

The doc is still slated to premiere at Sundance, but Winfrey’s initial statement on the matter states “it will not air on Apple TV+.”

“I believe that the women’s voices deserve to be heard and as, an executive producer, I also was in a position where I thought some things were not right,” she continued. “I wanted the context of the story to be broadened, I wanted more women brought into the story.” Winfrey also mentioned CBS News’ reporter Michelle Miller, who interviewed three of Simmons’ accusers for a segment last week. “One of the women had just been added, [Alexia Norton Jones] … and I had asked that more women had been added [to the documentary]. When you see the documentary, and I do hope that people see the documentary, I hope that story needed to be broadened.”

Winfrey previously praised Dick and Ziering as “talented filmmakers.” In a separate statement, the documentarians said, “Revealing hard truths is never easy, and the women in our documentary are all showing extraordinary strength and courage by raising their voices to address sexual abuse in the music industry. While we are disappointed that Oprah Winfrey is no longer an Executive Producer on the project, we are gratified that Winfrey has unequivocally said she believes and supports the survivors of the film. The #MeToo experiences of Black women deserve to be heard, especially against powerful men, so we will continue with our plans to bring the film to The Sundance Film Festival. The film, more than two years in the making, will be our eighth film to premiere at Sundance. The film is a beacon of hope for voices that have long been suppressed, and an inspiration for anyone wanting to regain their power power
