Oprah Winfrey reveals her ‘biggest regret’: TV icon issues heartfelt apology over diet shaming

Oprah Winfrey has apologized to her watchers for advancing eating routine culture all through her vocation and proclaimed she is “finished with disgracing”.

For some Americans, Oprah is viewed as a symbol for her strong conversations on her own show, which ran for a very long time prior to finishing in 2011. Yet, even the best commit errors, as she itemized in her latest television appearance on Thursday.

While hosting the WeightWatchers live special, ‘Making the Shift’, the talk show host acknowledged her role in focusing on dieting and listed her regrets in relation to her previous shows about losing weight.

“I’ve been a steadfast participant in this diet culture. Through my platforms, through the magazine, through the talk show for 25 years, through online — I’ve been a major contributor to it,” Winfrey said.

“I cannot tell you how many weight loss shows and makeovers I have done and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television.”

In particular, Winfrey recalled the famous incident where she wheeled out a wagon with 67lbs of fat sitting on top of it – representing the weight she had lost. Now, she sees it as “one of my biggest regrets”.

“It sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet set a standard for people watching that I nor anybody else could uphold,” she said. “And I’ve said this before, the very next day, I began to gain the weight back.”

In an honest discussion, Winfrey said she once made a pact with Joan Rivers on ‘The Tonight Show’ to drop a huge amount of weight, using liquid diets to do so. But it resulted in her starving herself.

“I was so embarrassed,” Winfrey said about that moment. “That was the start of a vicious cycle of yo-yoing that ended up with that liquid diet where I literally starved myself for months. And the result was that now famous wagon of fat moment.”
