This transcript covers the controversy surrounding Oprah Winfrey’s recent weight loss revelations and her decision to step down from the board of Weight Watchers. Oprah, a longtime advocate of managing weight through traditional means, faced backlash after admitting she had used weight loss drugs like Ozempic, despite previously discouraging such methods. Piers Morgan publicly criticized Oprah, accusing her of lying to her fans and undermining her credibility. The debate also touched on the broader impact of celebrity endorsements of weight loss drugs, which have become highly popular, sparking concerns over accessibility for diabetics who rely on these medications.

In response to these allegations and public pressure, Oprah announced her resignation from the Weight Watchers board, explaining that she wanted to avoid conflicts of interest. She also donated her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. This decision came at a critical time for Weight Watchers, which has struggled to compete with the rising demand for anti-obesity medications. Despite these challenges, Oprah remains a significant cultural figure, known for her philanthropic efforts and long-standing influence in media.
