The billionaire said she “set a standard for people watching that I nor anybody else could uphold.”
Oprah Winfrey is apologizing for being a “major contributor” to toxic diet culture.
While hosting the WeightWatchers live special, ”Making the Shift,” on Thursday, the billionaire media mogul expressed regret for playing a role in promoting unhealthy and unrealistic diets.
“I’ve been a steadfast participant in this diet culture,” Winfrey, 70, explained. “Through my platforms, through the magazine, through the talk show for 25 years, through online ― I’ve been a major contributor to it. I cannot tell you how many weight loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television.”
Winfrey went on to slam the famous “wagon of fat” moment that happened on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the late ’80s as “one of my biggest regrets.”
“It sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet set a standard for people watching that I nor anybody else could uphold,” she said. “And I’ve said this before, the very next day, I began to gain the weight back.”
