Oprah Winfrey is giving fans plenty to talk about!

“The Color Purple” actress has undergone a body transformation and has been candid about her weight-loss journey. Still, her latest appearance sparked several reactions.

While social media users continue to react to her slimmer frame, Winfrey is also preparing for a major new venture set to debut next year.

Fan Gives Oprah Winfrey A New Nickname After Recent Photos

The media mogul recently traveled to Ireland with her longtime best friend, Gayle King, where the pair spent time sightseeing and enjoying several outings together.

King shared highlights from the trip on social media, including photos that showed them enjoying a walk along a waterfront.

In the photos on Instagram, Winfrey wore a body-hugging white top paired with dark brown leggings. She finished off with white trainers, oversized sunglasses, and an olive-green cap.

King complemented the casual vibe with an orange fitted vest and matching cycling shorts. It did not take long for fans to focus on Winfrey’s noticeably slimmer appearance, with some attributing it to the GLP-1 medications she has publicly discussed using.

One observer hailed Gayle and Winfrey as “Ozempic Queens.” A second person commented, “Boy, those GLP1’s are really working for you guys.” While one commenter noted that Winfrey looked “like she’s in her 40’s,” another gushed that the longtime friends looked “stunning.”

A fifth commenter expressed surprise at their appearance, writing, “WTF!!!! Have some MERCY! Why you guys so skinny.”

The reaction comes just weeks after Winfrey stepped out looking noticeably slimmer at the North American premiere of “Everest: The Other Side.”

For the outing, she wore a cream jacket and matching pants with feathery trim, an outfit that highlighted the results of her fitness journey. 

The television icon has previously revealed that she lost 82 pounds and has openly discussed her decades-long battle with obesity and her decision to use GLP-1 medication.

According to The Blast, she previously shared that a turning point in how she saw obesity came after she learned more about the biology and genetics behind it. 

Winfrey admitted that she used to be so focused on food, and related it to realizing that it was that gene that caused the fixation on food. However, using GLP-1s has quieted that urge. 

• Oprah Winfrey angered fans with her tiny Thanksgiving meal amid intense weight loss
• The media mogul had a disagreement with her best friend Gayle King over lesbian rumors
• Winfrey sparked major backlash over her sad story about the late Whitney Houston.

The Medication Also Helped Winfrey Cut Down On Alcohol 

In addition to shedding pounds, the drug also brought an unexpected benefit for the media personality. She explained that it cut her desire to drink, as someone who previously could outdrink anyone. 

She even recalled having 17 shots of tequila in one night. However, since getting on the drug, that interest has disappeared. The TV Host explained that the change is partly because she had to drink so much more water just to avoid feeling sick.

Now, she has been sober for a long time. “I haven’t had a drink in years. The fact that I no longer even have a desire for it is pretty amazing,” Winfrey said per The Blast.

How Oprah Winfrey Has Responded To The Talks About Using Ozempic 

Although Winfrey has been transparent about using the medication as part of her weight-loss journey, she has also addressed assumptions and criticism surrounding it.

In March, she attended Paris Fashion Week, where a video of her walking cautiously sparked online speculation.

One X user claimed that “Ozempic ate her leg muscles,” while another suggested her gait may have been linked to previous knee surgeries.

Winfrey later clarified the situation during an interview, explaining that the issue had nothing to do with either theory.

According to The Blast, the 72-year-old explained she normally relies on glasses or contact lenses and simply struggled to see clearly while entering the venue that evening.

The Queen Of Media Has A New Project In The Works

As reactions to her appearance continue to pour in, Winfrey is focused on a new production.

The Blast recently reported that she has an upcoming two-hour live event, “Oprah Winfrey’s AHA,” debuting in Las Vegas next year and combining music, film, and immersive sensory experiences.

Winfrey revealed that the idea first came to her in September 2023 after watching U2 open the Sphere. She immediately saw the venue’s potential for a larger storytelling experience.

For Winfrey, the show feels like everything she’s been trying to say for years, all rolled into one, and the best the Sphere offers is the connection she wants to bring to her idea. 

Performers like Jacob Collier, Ocean Vuong, composer Max Richter, Ethan Tobman, and Baz Halpin are involved in the production.
