Oprah Shares Some Truly Annoying Remarks About Weight Loss
HuffPost
The media mogul is denouncing fat stigma while also praising weight loss drugs.
It seems Oprah Winfrey has entered a new phase of her on-going obsession with weight loss — and this one is especially disconcerting.
The incredibly influential media mogul returned to her talk show host roots with a brand new ABC special on Monday night called, “An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution” in which she promotes the use of expensive weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound.
In December, Winfrey confirmed that she takes a weight loss drug, but didn’t specify which one. In February, she announced her exit from the board of WeightWatchers after almost 10 years.
In her special, Winfrey lambasts fat stigma by telling viewers to “stop shaming and blaming” individuals and themselves for weight gain because they are struggling with a “disease” akin to alcoholism.
“The number one thing I hope people come away with is knowing that [obesity] is a disease, and it’s in the brain,” Winfrey said.
