Oprah Winfrey on weight loss "I don't know that there's another public person whose struggle with their weight has been exploited like me," Oprah said in a panel discussion that included a discussion of how the media examines issues related to weight and obesity. "Losing weight, and at the same time I was having knee surgery, I felt like I had to do this on my own... because if I took medication, that was the easy way out."

Who is Oprah Winfrey? Oprah Winfrey is the most famous broadcaster in the world, and she has a success story that makes her the most prominent role model among influencers.

This great success of Oprah Winfrey was preceded by a chapter of suffering, which Winfrey experienced during a harsh childhood, and the bitterness of homelessness, the details of which she previously revealed to serve as an example for new generations.

Oprah Winfrey lived a difficult childhood, growing up in a poor family. Her mother worked as a housemaid and her father worked in a barber shop.

Oprah suffered from a bad relationship between her parents, which ended in the couple's divorce, and Oprah moved to live in her grandmother's house in Mississippi.

During her stay there, Ora also suffered from racial discrimination because of the color of her skin. She was not treated well by the residents, and was constantly beaten by her grandmother, which she later described as living in a house to torture children.

Oprah Winfrey was also raped, according to her account of her life, where she stated that she was raped by her cousin when she was still four years old.

Oprah lived through this situation several times until she was 12 years old, and the abuse did not end there. When she returned to live with her mother, she was harassed by her mother’s boyfriend, and she was afraid to tell her mother about it.

The matter was no different for Oprah during her academic career, during which she suffered either bullying or assault, but despite that, she excelled at the academic level, and she decided that nothing would prevent her from achieving this excellence.

Oprah Winfrey's real start in the field of media work was when she presented her famous program, The Oprah Winfrey Show, after a successive series of failures.

This program opened the doors of fame and success for her, and through it she achieved views estimated at 10 million, and the number of television networks that requested it to be shown reached about 125 channels.

With the success of the program, Oprah Winfrey's wealth doubled, which prompted her to expand it, and she became the third woman to own a giant production company in America , which she partnered with Harpo. Through this company, Oprah Winfrey became the first black-skinned billionaire in history.

At the beginning of 1995, Oprah Winfrey's name was chosen among Forbes magazine's lists, among the richest women in the world, and her annual income exceeded $225 million in 2006.

She obtained this wealth as revenues from broadcasting her successful program through a large number of television broadcasting companies.
