Oprah Winfrey has slammed reports that she is gay saying that she would have told her fans if it were true. According to source, Winfrey has often been romantically linked to her best friend and business partner Gayle King but both of them claim that they would not have kept an affair secret.

She admits that some people have misunderstood her close relationship with King but they are not a gay couple.

She said: "I understand why people think we are gay. There isn't a defination in out culture for this kind of a bond between women. So i get why people have to label it: 'How can you be this close without it being sexual?"

King Added: "The truth is, if we were gay, we would tell you. What's wrong with being gay."

Winfrey and King talked about their 30-year friendship admitting that they talk four times a day sometimes when they are not in the same city.
