Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey is one of, if not the most powerful woman on television. The Queen of talk shows has a surprising fear, though: chewing gum. Oprah explained that this goes back to her childhood when her grandmother used to save all the family’s chewed gum in jars.
The fear of choking is actually so severe that Oprah has banned chewing gum from the set of her show.
