Oprah Winfrey shares how comedians ‘mocked’ her weight

Oprah Winfrey has recently explained how she was ridiculed for her weight every single week in every form. Speaking on the first episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show on Tuesday, Oprah said, “For 25 years, every single week in one form or another, there was some tabloid exploitation of my weight.”

“Making fun of my weight was national sport for 25 years,” remarked The Color Purple star.

Oprah mentioned, “Comedians did it, the best comedians did it, the highest comedians did it, people with their shows did it ― it was just accepted that you could make fun of me and my weight.”

“One of the most hurtful things was ‘In Living Color’ had done a skit where the woman was doing something and she just kept eating and getting fatter and fatter and fatter,” shared the media mogul.

She continued:

And the comedy bit was that eventually she just exploded, and you know, the whole audience fell out [laughing]. And the woman was me.

And that was just accepted! That was just a thing that was accepted.

Oprah added, “So, I have borne this weight thing and carried it to the point where I just feel like, I’ve just recently turned 70 and I’m not carrying it into the next decade. I’m done with it.”
