This facts-packed video traces Oprah Winfrey's long history with weight loss and struggles with body image in the public eye. We cover how Oprah initially lost weight through diet and exercise before shifting her perspective to incorporate medication as a “tool” in her regimen.

After Oprah shared openly that she personally uses prescription meds for weight control, backlash erupted. WW investors reacted poorly to what they perceived as endorsement of a rival product over WW's own offerings. Just months after making those controversial comments, Oprah announced she will depart WW's board once her term ends this spring.

We analyze factors behind Oprah leaving WeightWatchers as it faces market disruption from digital health companies also providing weight loss drugs. Has Oprah damaged her credibility by allegedly abandoning the brand she once championed? Or did WW’s model simply fail to align with current scientific views on obesity as a medical disease requiring treatment?

This video explores the evolution of Oprah’s weight and her complex relationship with WW amidst the booming prescription medication space. We welcome thoughtful discussion in the comments on whether Oprah handled this situation responsibly and ethically given her fame.
