Oprah Winfrey Throws Her 66-year Old Mum Barbara Winfrey Out of Her House! [Photos]

Tears streaming down her face Barbara Winfrey takes stock and surveys the empty space inside the vast $1.4 million mansion. 


The 66-year-old grandmother yesterday said goodbye to the impressive five-bedroom property in Franklin, south Nashville – a place she has called home for 14 years, and MailOnline captured the moments of her emotional farewell exclusively.

She had until midnight to vacate the house after being booted out by talk show queen Oprah Winfrey.
 Barbara was evicted following a bitter 18-month divorce battle with the star’s elderly father Vernon Winfrey.

And the former high-school vice-principal – who is now homeless and facing the prospect of living in motels – believes Oprah had a ‘personal vendetta’ against her and deliberately tried to ‘destroy’ her life.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline an emotional Barbara said: ‘That woman has set out to ruin me, destroy me.
 To take this house away is petty, this has been my home for 14 years.

‘Oprah’s a billionaire three times over, her help live better than this. She said publicly that she offered to sell the house and give me the proceeds, but that’s a lie, she never said that. 

‘Oprah owns property all over the world so there is no reason to sell this house other than to spite me, it’s a personal vendetta.’

Barbara’s stinging attack is reinforced in bombshell legal documents seen by MailOnline and revealed for the first time today.

The legal papers claim Oprah took part in a ‘conspiracy’ to force her father to divorce Barbara and kick her out of her home.
The chat queen is said to have attended ‘secret meetings’ with dad Vernon during which they plotted to get Barbara out of the property.

Vernon has denied those claims.

The lawsuit states that one took place on Mother’s Day in May 2012 - and Vernon filed for divorce just a month later.

Barbara also alleges that Oprah was so intent on orchestrating the split that she threatened to cut Vernon off financially unless he broke up with her.

Vernon denies that his famous daughter has ever intervened or threatened to cut the trust.
The claims are revealed in never before reported depositions made at the height of Vernon and Barbara’s divorce battle, which lasted 18 months before being resolved.

In that time Barbara says she has learned the hard way not to cross her daughter-in-law.

A world away from the inspirational figure who adorns our TV screens on a regular basis, the Oprah Barbara describes is manipulative, high-handed and the ‘devil’ incarnate, Barbara said in MailOnline's exclusive interview.

‘What she has done is nothing short of evil, but she doesn’t scare me, her actions cause me to disrespect her,’ says Barbara.

Vernon has let Barbara keep most of the furniture in the home, only taking a few items he wanted to keep.

‘We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on furniture, everything was high end,' she said.

For now the furniture will sit in storage and a mini grand piano which held pride of place in the front room has been moved to a friend's house.

But defiant Barbara vowed: ‘I’m leaving with less than I had before the marriage, but eventually I’m gonna have a home as nice as this or better.'

Barbara does get to keep her beloved Mercedes SL500, however.

Oprah bought her the luxury car as a gift 11 years ago during a shopping spree during a visit to Tennessee.

‘It’s got mine and her name on it so she can’t take my Mercedes,’ said Barbara. 
‘It’s 11 years old with 125,000 miles on it so it won’t be worth much.’

While we talk, Barbara is perched on a high stool at the granite worktop in the mansion’s huge $60,000 kitchen.
The spacious five-bed, five bath property is on a sprawling private estate and set in its own woodland.
