In
January
2006,
on
her
show,
Oprah
confronted
James
Frey
about
the
fictionalised
accounts
he
included
in
his
best-selling
memoir,
A
Million
Little
Pieces.
Five
years
later,
James
sits
down
with
Oprah
once
again
for
a
two
part
interview,
as
they
remember
that
afternoon.
The
interview
resulted
in
James
having
to
face
a
lot
of
difficult
situations,
from
being
sneered
at
to
being
sued
several
times.
Oprah
too
faced
the
backlash
of
the
infamous
interview.
The
talk
show
hostess
said
she
received
calls
from
strangers
condemning
the
way
she
interrogated
Frey
in
her
previous
interview.
At
the
time,
Oprah
says,
she
disagreed
with
critics
who
felt
that
she
was
too
hard
on
James.
"Did
you
think
I
was
too
hard
on
you?" she
asks
him.
James
replies,
"I
thought
it
was
within
your
rights
to
conduct
your
show
however
you
wanted
to.
I
knew
I
had
made
a
bad
mistake."
In
part
two
of
Oprah's
interview
with
James
Frey,
the
discussion
moves
past
the
controversy
surrounding
his
book
and
shifts
to
his
life
today.
His
new
book
is
called
The
Final
Testament
of
the
Holy
Bible,
and
he
says
it
is
something
he
has
been
thinking
about
writing
for
at
least
15
years.
The
idea
came
to
him
while
he
was
working
in
the
stockroom
at
a
retail
store
on
Chicago's
Michigan
Avenue.
The
Final
Testament
of
the
Holy
Bible
is
the
story
of
the
Second
Coming
of
Christ
in
today's
modern
world—but
in
James'
book,
Christ
is
a
bisexual
former
alcoholic
who
lives
in
the
Bronx
and
impregnates
a
stripper.
Writing
a
story
like
this
may
set
off
its
own
controversy,
but
James
says
it
is
not
his
intention
to
offend
people.
He
says,
"That
book
wasn't
written
for
the
sake
of
controversy."
With
a
new
book
on
the
horizon
and
the
memoir
controversy
in
his
rear
view
mirror,
James
says
he
is
quite
content
with
life
today.
"I
love
what
I
do.
I've
never
been
happier
in
my
life."
