Oprah Winfrey fought back tears as she opened up about her battle with obesity and how food “took over her life”, admitting she “blamed” herself. Speaking in An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution, on Monday (18 March), the 70-year-old fought revealed how taking the controversial weight-loss drug Ozempic meant she no longer “obsessed” about food. The show was released days after the presenter quit her Weight Watchers board role, citing a potential “conflict of interest”.
