According to the New York Daily News, which obtained an excerpt from Kitty Kelley's soon-to-be-released tell-all, Winfrey and Tesh, the ex-Entertainment Tonight host, had a romantic rendezvous while living in Tennessee in the 1970s.

But Tesh abandoned Winfrey in the middle of the night after caving to "social pressures" on interracial couples, which injected tension into their relationship, Kelley has claimed.

"He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn't take it anymore," a Tesh ex reportedly told Kelley.

"He walked out in the middle of the night... He told me he later felt very guilty about it."
The highly anticipated biography, which is due out on Tuesday, also includes the claim that Oprah’s mother, Vernita, has to call the mogul’s personal assistant and leave a message before speaking with her daughter.
Winfrey spokeswoman Angela DePaul told the Daily News the television talk show maven was not commenting on Kelley’s book.

I believe not everyone dates a person because they are artificially beautiful. Maybe his heart is what women see and feel is beautiful. Personally I think he is very attractive and an especially nice person.

John Tesh may or may not be ugly, but h is married to one of the most beautiful woman ever. He has been married to Connie Sellecca since 1992. He must have something going for him.

He was not ugly (and isn't presently, the picture is awful). He was handsome when he was ET. That was many years ago. He looks like a normal aged man. Most men in Hell-ay would have had procedures done by this time.

Everything author Kitty Kelley writes is pure fiction! She can't find any real information so she makes it up! I am sure this never happened!!
