Oprah Winfrey (69) attracted attention! The most famous presenter on American television has struggled with her weight for decades. The presenter has visibly lost weight over the past few months. She also proudly showed off her slimmed down figure at an event a few days ago. But fans suspect that she is taking medication to help. Now speak out Oprah to the wild rumors!
During a panel discussion titled “The Life You Want Class: The State of Weight,” the talk show legend opened up about her body image challenges: “You all know I’ve been on this journey for most of my life. My peak weight was 107.5 kilos,” she reported. In this context, she also talked about taking Ozempic, which is currently a popular weight loss drug in Hollywood. She emphasized: “I have to do this on my own, because if I take the medication, that would be the easy way out!”
During the discussion, Oprah also revealed that she was perceived and treated differently by those around her depending on her current weight. “This world has always shamed people for being overweight,” she lamented. The moderator also said: “Shouldn’t we all just be more accepting of the body we’re in?”
