For those who are unaware, the entire debate around the identity of the godmother was brought to light after Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie made a comment implying the possibility.

At the time he told The Sun, 

“If one of those godparents is Oprah–and I’m not saying that she is–then you can understand why perhaps they want to keep that to themselves because even Oprah sitting down to interview them was controversial enough in itself.”

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Oprah addressed the uproar and cleared the air.

She made it clear to the outlet, “I don’t need to be a godmother. I mean, I’m a godmother by default. I’m a neighbor, I’m a friend.”

Especially since “I think you probably need someone younger to be the godmother.”
