Oprah Winfrey has faced scrutiny over her weight since the beginning of her career, and she has now opened up about how some of those comments made her feel.
“I was stunned in that moment,” Winfrey, 71, told host Jane Pauley on CBS Sunday Morning, discussing a 1985 interview in which she was asked by guest host Joan Rivers on The Tonight Show how she gained weight.
“I’m sitting there, and we’re toward the end of the interview, and Joan turns to me and says, ‘So, tell me, you know, how’d you gain the weight?’” Winfrey recalled the interview, adding that her response at the time was simple: “I ate a lot.”
