Oprah’s Dramatic Ozempic Transformation Has Generated a Surprising Level of Public Response. Oprah Winfrey has been observed displaying her recent appearance. The media proprietor was attired in exercise attire for a weekday workout in Santa Barbara. Photographs taken by Page Six depict the former talk show host wearing a long-sleeved black top with stripes and white trainers. Winfrey was also observed carrying a blue hooded sweatshirt while entering her vehicle following the workout.

The 71-year-old’s hair was down, pulled back from her face with a black headband. This outing follows a month after the actress made headlines for making a bold claim about “thin people” on “The Oprah Podcast.”During the January episode, Winfrey said, “All these years, I thought that thin people — those people — just had more willpower.

“And then I realized the first time I took the GLP-1 that they’re not even thinking about it,” she continued, “they’re only eating when they’re hungry and stopping when they’re full.”

After months of speculation, Winfrey confirmed in December 2023 that she was seven pounds away from her goal weight of 160, thanks to a weight-loss drug.

The Oscar winner did not specify the drug but described it as “maintenance control” in the aftermath of years of yo-yo dieting.”It feels like a relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again is ridiculed for,” she told People at the time.”I’m done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.”

In May of the following year, during a Weight Watchers special, Winfrey apologized to her fans for contributing to “diet culture” over the years.”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 said. Before her reveal, Winfrey had referred to weight-loss drugs as the “easy way out.”

The Golden Globe winner is not the only celebrity to admit to taking type 2 diabetes drugs to lose weight, with Kelly Clarkson, Sharon Osbourne, and more using them too.
