Oprah Winfrey has banned BeBe Winans off her show until further notice domestic violence charges against the gospel singer are resolved, according to reports.
The gospel singer taped appearances on Winfrey's "karaoke challenge" and was on her show last Friday, but Oprah was widely criticized for being a hypocrite.
Winfrey's critics said she was guilty of a double standard by including BeBe Winans on the program after taking a strong stand against Chris Brown this year.
Brown's assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna in February incurred the wrath of Oprah, who supported Rihanna 100 percent - understandable, but only to a point.
Bene Winans has been shunned by Oprah ... finally.
After BeBe Winans was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault for allegedly pushing ex-wife Debra Winans to the ground, O didn't take a similar stand.
Last Friday, when O allowed BeBe onto the show, the woman he's accused of attacking said was "hurt' by Oprah's decision because their case is still pending.
Now, it seems Oprah got the message, saying in a statement: "BeBe will not be appearing on the 'Oprah' show until his legal matters are resolved in court."
Winans was charged with domestic assault and is due in court January 20.

Bebe Winans couldn't hurt a fly. Domestic violence cases have turned into a joke. Let's send every living man to jail!

He didn't hurt a fly. He hurt a woman. There is a difference.

Bebe Winans is a good person. Who is Oprah to judge people,she is not God. Let God be his judge and jury.There is always 2 side to every story. Just like Rhinan, every one is taking her side what about Chris Brown. Rhinann is not innocent.

I personally think that men should never hit a woman, unless it could be a life and death situation. Men have got to learn that they don't have a right to hit women, and they should always walk away. Oprah has made a good decision to take BeBe off the show, until everything is clear. When you think of gospel music, you should be representing yourself in a religious espect. Woman are not dolls or play toys to beat up on....

Oprah is a hypocrite! She didn't go off on BeBe like she did on Chris Brown! How unfair. She didn't hold back on judging Chris Brown until the full story was told. She just jumped right on the band wagon and help form a public opinion! Why wait until BeBe goes to court? Oprah is wrong and she will never admit it!!!!!

But surely, Oprah emphathised ? I mean, c'mon - she hasn't been through what this guy has been through - OPRAH, the Queen-B has no heart because she's never experienced anything of the sort ? Oprah is not only a hypocrite, she's Satan's minion.
