Gospel singer BeBe Winans was arrested on domestic violence charges in March of 2009. In November of 2009, Winans appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show as the host of Oprah's Karaoke Challenge. Winans' former wife, Debra Winans, claims Winfrey is showing a "double standard" by having her ex-husband on her show. She told TMZ.com she was "hurt by Oprah's decision to have Bebe on the show" after Winfrey took a hard stand against singer Chris Brown in the wake of his domestic violence incident with then-girlfriend Rihanna.http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/30/oprah-double-standard-on-domestic-abuse/ http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474977884908&grpId=3659174697244816
