    I'm so happy for both of them. What a shock it must have been for them both. I'm so glad Oprah and their mum reconciled also and Vernita learned to appreciate her highly sensitive, successful oldest daughter.
  • Not only a pretty baby Patricia, you are also a very pretty woman with an amazing heart.

    That Patricia, is very humble. It's easy to see they built an authentic relationship.

    So happy that the 3 of them are reunited and that she got to meet her birth mum and other family members.

    there is one thing to make me believed that patricia is her sister....that is when patricia did not sold it her story..after 2007 when she finds out that her mother is oprah maother.she tried to contact them but never recieved a reply..so she just keeps her mouth shot and wait...she really acts as her sister...she did the right way as a sister and makes oprah so proud to her...

    it’s a great blessing to have a sister.. I have two younger sisters that I love so much....
  • if you come from the same mother for me it's not half,it's only half if you don't have the same mother it's amazing the two have found one another I see that as a blessing.

    I’m trying to get in touch with my past famous half sister that does not know I her half brother what should I do?
  • @MzShugr
    I think she was also with him until she was 9. because at one point she said she hadn't seen him since she was 9, and that is how she hid the pregnancy so well once she got back
  • This the Chi Lites son Darren Cubie, I meet Patricia Lee in St. Louis Missouri at Metro link station, I begain speaking to Patricia and a conversation lead to me expression cincern about my father in which was a Chi Lites co founding member, Patricia replied back and began explaning that she was the half sister of Oprah Winfery and that she was given up for adoption by their mother Venetia Lee when she was a child. I also explained that I son of the Chi Lites musician Creadel Jones, throughout the conversation with Patricia who then further explained how she was trying to get in contact with Oprah but could not reach her. Other nearby people begain to over hear us and started to express dought to her story but I then replied that Patricia looked just like Oprah and that I believed that she telling the truth because of the Patricia appeared to look so similar to Oprah Winfrey. I begain to listen more about Patricia story and the commented that I and my mother Deborah Jones which was the wife and widow of my father from the Chi Lites Creadel Jones were also trying to reach Oprah do to the exploitational in which lead my Chi Lites father Creadel Jones to become homeless and altimily died after being left homeless as a victim of hollywood music revenue and legacy legacy exploitation which victimized my father and our Chi Lites leaving my mother and our Chi Lites family in poverty and exploitation after being left financially explouted and resulting in my Chi Lites father being left homeless after being a founding member of the Chi Lites music group, and how we were trying to get attorneys and help and investigation in the explotation of our families legacy exploitation that lead to the death of my Chi Lites Creadel Jones, futher stating to Patricia that my mother the wife and widow of my Chi Lites father Creadel Jones had went to Oprah Winfrey Studios over three times in order to stop the poverty exploitation. I remember Patricia saying see would tell Oprah when she meet her to help us. Patricia seemed to be very nice and easy to talk to very down to earth, and a all around nice gently person of morules and vaules. I continue to listen to Patricia explain her story in which Patricia stated she had been trying to sit a meeting with Oprah and that Patricia had tried to write their mother Venetia Lee but she was unwilling to reply. Patricia further stated that she was continuing to try to meet her half sister Oprah and begain to explain the many ways that Patricia began to attempt to contact her sister Oprah, my heart to her. Patricia had told me the many diffrent attempts that she had to do to contact Oprah, and that Patricia had to go through Oprah producers but Oprah was reluctant to meet her and was unable to commit to a full meeting do to trust issues, but after later a few failed attempts Patricia Lee finally was able to reach Oprah assistants. Patricia stated to me that she was hopeful in meeting her half sister and was a waiting and arrange a meeting with Oprah through her assiant and producer, I wished her good luck in her reunion with her list half sister Oprah Winfrey and good luck in her attempt in her family reunion and gave my best. I walked away thinking that she would meet Oprah Winfrey eventually and that Patricia may have truely wanted a censor family connection.
