It appears Oprah Winfrey's weight loss obsession has entered a new, troubling phase.
The powerful media mogul returned to her talk show roots on Monday night with “An Oprah Special.
Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution,” promoting pricey weight loss medications like Wegovy and Zepbound.
In December, Winfrey said she takes a weight-loss medicine but didn't say which.
She resigned from WeightWatchers' board in February after almost 10 years.
Winfrey urges viewers to “stop shaming and blaming” themselves and others for weight gain since they have a “disease” like alcoholism in her presentation.
Winfrey stated, “The number one thing I hope people come away with is knowing that obesity is a disease, and it's in the brain.”
This assertion was supported by ABC News' chief medical correspondent and obesity medicine physician, Dr. Jen Ashton.
