A spokesman for Oprah Winfrey is closing the claims that people were blocked to access a critical road on their Maui farm after Tsunami warnings were issued throughout Hawaii on Tuesday night.

After a massive earthquake of 8.8 that hit the Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, coastal residents were advised to evacuate a higher land.

Online, several posters said that one of the few roads capable of taking the premises to security was a private road that led to the property of $ 60 million Winfrey closed to the public.

Representatives of Oprah Winfrey, seen here at the National Democratic Convention of 2024, discredited that the public was blocked to access a private road on its Maui farm during a Tsunami warning.

But the representatives of the presenter of the interview program say that the personnel who administered their assets did nothing to prevent access to the route, a servitude that connects the coastal area of Wailea with the highlands of Kula and is owned by Haleakalā Ranch, not Winfrey.

“As soon as we listen to Tsunami’s warnings, we contacted the Local Police to ensure that the road opened,” representatives said to News in a statement. “Reports otherwise are false.”

“The Local Police is currently on the site that helps residents through 50 cars at the same time to guarantee everyone’s safety,” he continued. “The road will remain open all the necessary time.”

The claim was corroborated by a public alert from the Maui Police Department that said that “the Oprah path” was “open to obtaining the Upcountry.”

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center informed waves at 5.7 feet above the height of the base that reached the northern coast of Maui on Tuesday night, local time.
