Ali Gator Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Oprah Winfrey is parting ways with Weight Watchers after nearly 10 years on the company’s board of directors. The company says that Winfrey told the board this week that she would not stand for reelection at the company’s next annual meeting, set for May 9. Winfrey has been a board member and a public face for Weight Watchers since 2015. The company says that Winfrey will still continue to work as a public advocate on behalf of weight health and obesity issues, including co-hosting an event together in May. It also says that Winfrey will donate all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Winfrey disclosed in December that she was using a prescription drug to manage her weight. According to the terms of her agreement with Weight Watchers, “Winfrey will not grant anyone but the Company the right to use her name, image, likeness or endorsement for or in connection with any other weight loss or weight management programs during the Strategic Term, and she will not engage in any other weight loss or weight management business, program, products, or services during the Strategic Term and for one year thereafter.” Oprah Winfrey Leaves Weight Watchers Board After Disclosing Use of Weight Loss Medication WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM Winfrey will donate all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture "to eliminate any perceived conflict of...

+ BOZO T CLOWN Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Considering she didn't use the product for weight loss, she used Ozempic, it's obvious why they would dump her as a spokeswoman. Oprah has almost always been morbidly Obese. Hardly appropriate for weight watchers don't you think?! These useless yo-yo diets give women an excuse to buy new wardrobes every other year. The rag trade is in on it. This should be the least of Oprah's worries. She should be desperately seeking forgiveness and trying to atone for bringing a bunch of charlatans on her show to "determine" whether or not one needs Jesus to get into Heaven. And that miracle facial rejuvenating cream she was promoting a few years back that was made from discarded babies foreskin. Oprah Winfrey has long been a liar, fraud, and a con. BTC .

Ayds It was a lo-cal candy-like snack meant to fill you up ahead of meals. They were around thru the late 70’s, regular TV/print ads. No idea how/if they worked. When GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) became known as AIDS, their brand was over. https://biotech.law.lsu.edu/books/lbb/x590.htm#:~:text=There was some controversy over,of the more neutral AIDS.

+ Pensant Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) OT, but I remember seeing Oprah briefly in Balboa Park in August 2000 after the America’s Finest City Half-Marathon. I had long finished it and was hanging around post-run with some friends when we saw her trudging to the finish line accompanied by several SDPD police cars.I was impressed that she at least finished.

WW customers would indeed be ill-advised to base their use of the company's products on whether she was on the board. (I wouldn't dream of saying 'stupid'.) In contrast, shareholders would be sensible to sell in anticipation of the stup, i mean irrational response of customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
