I'm reading the book "Oprah" by Kitty Kelley, and the author said that after the OJ Simpson trial in the mid 90s, Oprah had devoted a whole week of shows to abused spouses. During that week (I think she said it was in early 1997) actress Loni Anderson was one of the guests, and Anderson told how she was abused by her ex Burt Reynolds (supposedly, she said he'd grab her by the hair and used to smash her face into the wall or furniture).

I never heard any of this before - does anyone know if she made these accusations in other interviews, or does anyone remember this interview?

If this is the case, can it be this is why she has had so much plastic surgery in the past 15 years - could it be because there were injuries to her face? (If yes, then now I feel really bad about laughing at all the jokes about her surgeries.)
