The media mogul sets the record straight amid unfounded reports of financial ties to the Democratic candidate.
American talk show icon Oprah Winfrey has publicly denied claims that she was paid $1 million to endorse Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate in the recent U.S. presidential election. Rumors, initially reported by the Washington Examiner, alleged that Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions, received a substantial payment for hosting a celebrity town hall event in support of Harris last September.
Addressing the speculation, Winfrey responded decisively, telling TMZ, “Not true. I was paid nothing, ever,” in a clear refutation of the claims. She added no further comment regarding the election’s results, which saw Republican Donald Trump re-elected to the White House.
In other post-election news, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama publicly acknowledged Trump’s victory alongside his running mate, JD Vance. Though they openly disagreed with the Republican platform, the Obamas extended their congratulations, emphasizing their respect for democratic processes.
Reflecting on the peaceful transition of power, Barack Obama acknowledged the disappointment felt by many Democrats but reiterated the importance of unity. He also praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her leadership and resilience during a challenging race. The 2024 election marked a hard-fought campaign, and Obama’s statement emphasized the need for the nation to move forward together despite political divides.
