Oprah celebrates her birthday in St Barts aboard David Geffen’s $300M megayacht watching Michael Jackson documentary with her best friend Gayle

Oprah Winfrey escaped to more tropical climates at the weekend to celebrate her birthday in sunny St Barts.

The billionaire birthday girl left California and headed to the island nation, where she and close friend Gayle King were guests on the superyacht of good friend and frequent travel partner David Geffen.

Joining the two on the $300 million Rising Sun ship were Will Bumpus, King’s son, and another young man. After enjoying dinner and cake, they spent the rest of the day watching the upcoming HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland.

King shared photos of the evening on his social media, writing: ‘Happy birthday TRAVEL @Oprah who DID NOT want bd cake so I asked for the one I like! It’s really delicious for the birthday girl!’

It was a short trip for the group, who docked at Gustavia two days before heading to St Marteen to leave the tropical paradise.

King later raved about Leaving Neverland, which details how Michael Jackson allegedly raped two young boys for years.

‘Just watched ALL FOUR hours of Leaving Neverland.. powerful, compelling & a game changer for those who have been afraid to speak up of child 𝓈ℯ𝓍 abuse,’ wrote King.

‘My heart goes out to Wade Robson & James Safechuck. Thank YOU for sharing your pain it will make a difference. Bravo to producer Dan Reed.. I’m still reeling.’

This is not the first time Jackson has been accused of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually assaulting young boys, and both Safechuck and Robson had shared their stories in the past.

Jackson on the other hand went great lengths to avoid any discussion of those allegations, even with Oprah.

The Queen of Daytime did sit down with Jackson however for one interview in 1993 that attracted an audience of 90 million people and remains to this day the most watched interview in television history.

That was filmed just before the first allegations about Jackson had been made public, and so the conversation centered more around Jackson’s difficult childhood, his love life and his plastic surgery.
