Oprah Winfrey has spoken out about the terrible emotional consequences of decades of body shaming.

The 69-year-old diva, known for her revolutionary daytime chat program, reminisced on being one of television’s more robust figures.

Despite presenting herself with grace and style, Winfrey revealed that she has been the victim of trolls for years.

In an interview with People, Winfrey acknowledged the damaging nature of the public scrutiny she endured, describing it as a “sport” to mock her for the past quarter-century.

She only lately realized she had been wrongly blaming herself for her weight gain over the years.

This revelation comes after Winfrey admitted to utilizing weight-reduction medicine for a remarkable bodily transformation, contradicting her former denial of ever contemplating pharmaceuticals like Ozempic for weight loss.

Oprah spoke about the emotional toll of constant body shaming, stating how such remark would be considered inappropriate in today’s society norms.

Winfrey recounted the bitter comments, jokes, and headlines that surrounded her throughout her career, highlighting a particularly cruel magazine cover that characterized her as ‘Dumpy, Frumpy, and Downright Lumpy.’

Speaking openly, the 69-year-old diva confessed that in the early phases of her career, she received criticism with sadness, hurt, and shame rather than fury.

Winfrey acknowledged a big shift in her perspective while reflecting on a pivotal experience during Oprah Daily’s Life You Want Planner in July.

She recognized she had internalized the blame for her weight, realizing that her battle was due to a genetic predisposition rather than willpower, highlighting that obesity is an illness rooted in the complexity of the brain.
