During the three-hour special that also featured insights from celebrities like Rebel Wilson and Amber Riley, and WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani, Oprah candidly discussed her long-standing role within the diet industry and her commitment to changing this narrative towards one of body acceptance and health at every size.
Through her influential platforms—her magazine, her 25-year tenure on her talk show, and online—Oprah recognized her impact. "I’ve been a major contributor to it. 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,” she shared.
The event marked a significant pivot for WeightWatchers away from traditional diet culture towards a more holistic approach to health, which includes medical interventions like the use of weight-loss medications such as Ozempic.Sima Sistani underscored this evolution, pointing out that weight loss is not strictly a matter of willpower and that the prevailing culture of body shaming is unhealthy.
This move, she clarified, was not due to any disagreement but was a proactive step to avoid any conflict of interest as WeightWatchers transitions into a health-focused company that administers weight-related medications.Further underscoring her commitment to making impactful societal contributions, Oprah announced that she would be donating all her stock in WeightWatchers to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
