Rebel Wilson recently threw shade at the Kardashians for being famous for nothing, which is not a particularly fresh criticism of the first family of pop culture.

But Oprah, who is famous for being delightful, has a different opinion.

The drama started when Wilson discussed her distaste for the Kardashians on KIIS Fm's Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia.

“I was asked to present at the latest VMAs with Kendall and Kylie and said no,” Wilson told the hosts. “They’re famous for no talent. I said I’d do it myself. What they stand for is totally against what I stand for.”

Oprah then went on the same show and and discussed her positive experience getting to know the Kardashians when she interviewed them for Oprah's Next Chapter back in 2012.

“I interviewed the Kardashians two years ago and I can’t believe how hard they work,” Winfrey said. “People don’t understand that. People think, ‘Oh, if a television camera’s just following you, then that’s just easy.’ To really create a reality series that looks like something’s actually happening, it means you have to be on all the time.”

Oprah was not so impressed when she worked with Lindsay Lohan on her docu-series, Lindsay.

“She’s one of those people who said, ‘Oh yes, sure, I’ll have the cameras follow me,’ and then when you realize how much work that really is," fairy godmother Winfrey said. "Do you know how much acting you got to do to make it look real?”
