Oprah Winfrey Apologizes for 25 Years of Promoting Toxic Diet Culture
May 11, 2024, 10:17 AM
Oprah Winfrey has publicly apologized for her significant role in promoting toxic diet culture over the past 25 years, acknowledging her influence in setting unrealistic standards for weight loss. During a livestream event with WeightWatchers, Winfrey expressed regret for her actions, including a notable 1988 episode of 'The Oprah Show' where she displayed 67 pounds of animal fat to represent her weight loss from a liquid diet, a moment she now cites as one of her biggest regrets. She also admitted to using weight loss drugs to shed 40 pounds. Winfrey's reflections mark a significant shift in her perspective, emphasizing self-acceptance over societal pressures.
