Oprah Winfrey’s ‘sad’ journey battling body image criticism revealed

Oprah Winfrey, renowned for her influential talk show, has opened up about enduring decades of body shaming. Despite projecting grace in handling her weight, she revealed being a target for trolls, describing the public scrutiny as a ‘sport’ lasting a quarter of a century. Oprah admitted unfairly blaming herself for her weight over the years but recently realized it wasn’t her fault. In a People interview, she expressed the emotional toll and highlighted the unacceptability of such commentary today.

Recounting hurtful comments, jokes, and a cruel magazine cover labeling her as ‘Dumpy, Frumpy, and Downright Lumpy,’ Winfrey, 69, initially accepted criticism with sadness and shame. However, a transformative moment in July led to a shift in perspective. She recognized her weight struggle as a predisposition, emphasizing obesity as a brain-related disease. This revelation follows her admission of using weight-loss medication, contrasting with past denials. Oprah’s story reflects a journey from self-blame to understanding the complexities of body image.
