Preface: The following is related to AKA2D's last comment, but stretches it some.
~~~~~~~~
From articles that I've read wherein Iyanla and Oprah were featured, they don't suffer from a riffed relationship as people may believe.
Now, I do have a very close source in the Oprah camp whom has stated that the reason why Iyanla couldn't appear on Oprah's show any longer is because Iyanla began to break their contract. The contract stated that she wasn't to do any appearances without the consent of Winfrey or mentioning the show. When she began appearing on other shows, etc., the contract was broken, and that is why we didn't see Iyanla featured on Oprah any longer.
In terms of Oprah's attitude about Iyanla's show, competition is competition. It took her a while to invite Rosie on her show. She and Iyanla have seperately said there isn't any beef between them, so perhaps they will share an amicable relationship on air.
