The special aired on ABC on Monday and will be live-streamed on Hulu on Tuesday.
Oprah Winfrey hosted a special titled, "An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution," on Monday to discuss obesity and the growing industry of weight management medications, according to multiple reports.
"I decided because this special was really important to me, and I wanted to be able to talk about whatever I want to talk about," Winfrey said. "And WeightWatchers is now in the business of being a weight-health company that also administers drug medications for weight. I did not want to have the appearance of any conflict of interest." The media mogul said that when she resigned, she donated all of her shares to the National Museum of African American History.
