Oprah Only Gave One Tiny Detail About Vacationing With The Obamas

What happens with Oprah, stays with Oprah. At least when you’re on vacation together in French Polynesia.

The media mogul recently sailed away on a star-studded vacation with Barack and Michelle Obama, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Though a few photos popped up from their time on a massive yacht owned by billionaire David Geffen, Oprah refused to reveal much about what actually went down on the “boat.”

Then the former president spent weeks on the island of Tetiaroa ― once Marlon Brando’s private escape ― to reportedly complete his White House memoirs before he was joined by his wife.
