Oprah Winfrey has publicly apologized for her significant role in perpetuating diet culture, particularly during her decades-long media career. Speaking at a WeightWatchers live event, she expressed regret for her past actions, including the infamous "wagon of fat" episode on her show, which she now sees as promoting harmful dieting messages. Winfrey emphasized the importance of personal choice and body acceptance, distancing herself from the shaming often associated with weight loss.
