Oprah Winfrey Decides to End Legendary Show, Plans to Move to Italy: “I CAN’T LIVE IN THE U.S. FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS AND BREATHE THE SAME AIR AS ELON MUSK.”

Oprah Winfrey announced she was leaving WeightWatchers on Thursday and giving away all her stock – a move that follows the TV talk queen revealing that her recent dramatic weight loss was due to taking new weight-loss drugs.

A statement from Winfrey issued by the company said that the talkshow host, a public face for WeightWatchers since 2015, would donate all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture “to eliminate any perceived conflict of interest around her taking weight-loss medications”.

According to the company’s financial statements, Winfrey’s stake in the company was valued at more than $18m. The company said that Winfrey, 70, will still continue to work with WeightWatchers as an advocate for weight health and obesity issues by “elevating the conversation around recognizing obesity as a chronic condition, working to reduce stigma, and advocating for health equity”.

An apparent conflict between WeightWatchers, which promotes a non-medical, points-based approach to food intake, and the talkshow host came in December when she told People magazine that she integrated GLP-1 drugs, brands that include Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound, into her existing “holistic approach” of “regular exercise and other lifestyle tweaks”.
