How Do We Say This Delicately???
Filed under: Oprah Winfrey
Uhmmm…
Isn't black supposed to be slimming?????
Well, there's no sugarcoating this.
Oprah got FAT again, y'all!
The plus-sized talk show host showed off her very full figure at the opening of Tyler Perry's new film and TV studio in Atlanta this past weekend.
Is she gonna blame this on her thyroid again????

Perez- you should not talk! She has struggled all her life w/ her weight! She goes up and down. She is in her 50s, menapausal and has a bad thyroid. Any one of these can contribute to weight gain so this is a triple-whammy!
As you know, when people have food issues, it is not like they can give up food. A drug addict or alcoholic gave have treatment and give up their addiction but a food addict still has to eat at least 3 times a day so it makes it very difficult.
She is beautiful, brilliant and has done more good for people in the world that any current public figure I can think of.
Back off and let's wait and see how you look in your 50s!
Enough w/ the crap about people's weight-this one's too fat, this one's too skinny-No one is perfect!
Do you think she is eating those multi-flavor FOOD STAMPS.
Gurrrl, please. Mama Harpo has hammertoes and bunions so big from wearing high heels her whole career, that the poor woman can barely walk. And she's too busy to go swimming. She should never have fired her old chef.
Sometimes fat , sometimes thin, always a bitch!
LOL!
Maybe
she always has an excuse
about her weight.
Remember when you are talking about Oprah you cannot use the word BIGGER, you must say the "B Word" or someone will call you a bigot.
woah woah woah woah woah.do NOT diss oprah.
It could be the draping of the fabric. But goes to show you can have all the money in the world to afford the best trainers, diet counselling, have low fat meals delivered to your door, can go hang out at spas and fat farms all you want…and still, it's not easy to lose weight or keep it off….what chance do most of us have if Oprah with all her resources can't keep her fat off?
PEREZ, ARE YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SERIOUSLY CALLING SOMEBODY ELSE FAT?
Hopefully NOW she'll stop with the "diet" bs.
*
Maybe she accidently swallowed her fake eyelashes during the messiah indoctrination…..those things were thick and long.
*
Maybe she's eating her staff members who aren't in agreement with her. They must be silenced.
*
Maybe we are just seeing the real size of her EGO !!!

I love how so many people come to bash Perez for his celebrity opinions . You're getting exactly what you come here for; juicy, catty, gossip.
I usually like to visit this website everyday but this show your IGNORANCE Perez. I was reading a post when I googled about Ophra and thyroid problems and the writer had the same idea that I have, that she might have Hashimoto's Disease that is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid…. HOW DO I KNOW??? My sister has been suffering with this awful disease for many years now and due to incompetent Doctors she had never been diagnosed… until we found a physician practicing in Dallas and he is from the Netherlands. He states that people with Hashimoto's have depression, weight gain, they sleep all the time. I HAVE SEEN IT, so unless you are familiar with this don't judge. Not everyone gains weight because they are lazy or because they like to eat, probably it happened to you, but not my sister who weights 240 pounds, eats healthier than I do at 130 pounds. It is a complex disease that through our experience Doctors overlook because they look at the TSH numbers not the antibodies and also the reflexes of the feet. SO BEFORE YOU TALK DO SOME RESEARCH, not because you lost the weight so easily means other people don't have REAL DISEASES that affects them.
Perez, I think you have forgotten something….you're still fat too! Just because you lost a little weight does not make you one of the Olsen sisters. You should know better than anyone else what a struggle weight loss is!
i love oprah!
You know what? Oprah is beautiful and she is very well put together and NEVER looks sloppy obese. AND, as one ages, she actually looks YOUNGER with a little extra padding under her skin. I have seen her much heavier than this. I think she' looks good. She's an intelligent person and you feel her inner beauty as well.
Re: SheriMoonZombie – Thanks Goldie,you rock!1
Not slimming enough on you perez.
Oprah has health problems with her Thyroid, which causes her and all who suffer from this to gain weight.
You are an ASSS to make fun. Fat ASS PEREZ!!!!
I am on thyroid replacement AND depo provera (allegedly causes weight gain) and I weigh 105 lbs at 31 years of age with 2 kids. YOU control your weight, not medications. it's stupid enough to continue to stuff food in your mouth and complain that some disorder or medication is making you fat. Calories in, calories out. that's how you do it.
I'm not trying to be uptight at all - but I guarantee it is her thyroid. I have thyroid issues and weight management is literally impossible sometimes. I feel ya, Oprah!

Cabron! Can't wait for you to gain a few pounds back! You won't stay skinny forever.
Ok Perez you went too far this time. I have TWO medical conditions that cause weight gain and make it hard to lose it (not to mention many other very unpleasant side effects). As a matter of fact I am off to see my Endocrinologist in a few minutes. Having a thyroid problem is no laughing matter. I wouldn't be so quick to bad mought someone in regards to their weight until you have maintained your weightloss for awhile longer….. then you might have some right to be cocky.
COW
perez, you *will* gain your weight back. and we will be there to kick you when you are down.
Common misconception that black it slimming. It's not the color, it's the cut.
Could be steroids. I gained 40 lbs when I went on them, and it was HELL getting it off again afterwards.
Who cares what Oprah's weighs? It makes her more human to experience common struggles.
Besides, she supports so many charitible causes - including orphans, animal rescue, human rights, hunger, rape/sexual assault and so much more. Her work speaks volumes about her character .. her weight pales by comparison.
PEREZ! What are you thinking? Lay off of her! Thyroid conditions are real and unfortunately not taken seriously by the general public and even many doctors! The thyroid affects every part of your body, not only making you tired but also slowing down your metabolism and making it much harder than the average person to lose weight. I'm hypothyroid and think your comments are ignorant and completely unnecessary. And no, I'm not fat and lazy and a whiner. Hypothyroid is not an excuse to be fat, it is a real condition and a real struggle for many. Perez you went too far!!
Gayrez, you sounded like a 7 years old boy, too immature !
Who cares? the bitch is richer than you will ever be perez
Perez, the only one fat here is you. The day you get a six pack, you can start throwing around the insults. Until then, shut your fat mouth.
You're fat too perez……….oh and UGLY how can I forget that?
oh leaver oprah alone, she's so rich it doesn't matter what she looks like.
You think she cares if she's fat or skinny? She's one of the richest people in the world and I bet she goes home and laughs at us :-/
Sheesh Perez! U loose a couple of tons and git all bitchy and whatnot!
one of my co-workers flew out to Atlanta for that event and said that Oprah kept to herself the majority of the night and that Johnny Legend was a spotlight hog…a bit of a attention whore
Oprah is a decent person. I couldn't care less if she's a decent person who weighs 30 pounds too much or 30 pounds too little. She's a good lady. And that is enough.
Don't be calling Oprah fat, biznatch!
Ok Perez. Maybe now you are a lot more thin than you used to be. Yes, you did it. You changed your lifestyle and are a more attractive person because of it. But, come on. It wasn't that long ago that you were fat, and now you think it's ok to say mean things about overweight people? Hypocritical much?
She's stopped obsessing about her weight and has settled into where her body wants to be. After the years of yo-yo dieting that's where her body needs to be. Remember too that she's in her 50's! It's comments like that, focussing on the exterior of a beautiful, giving person, that keeps us all down Perez… I know you love Momma O and I know you struggle with your own body image issues, but seriously, give it a rest…
I think Oprah would leave Gayle for Tyler Perry… she looks at him very adoringly
He is one hot man…sigh
HOW could YOU say anything about that, Perez?
First, she is a woman, going thru the change; that causes homonal fluctuations, cravings, and weight gain. WHATS YOUR EXCUSE? leave her and the Cruse little girl ALONE. geez have you no shame? Im NOT a big Oprah fan anymore, but this goes beyond the pale.
who cares what she looks like! some people arent naturally as slim as others and there isnt anything wrong with the way she looks!
Re: ccischristy – Oooo, but honey, no matter what age, women always want to look as pretty as possible (men too/handsome). NO one wants to age..but we ALL will. Even you. Gravity is the main ager, & free radicles and NOT MOISTURIZING. With weight, it can be almost impossible, but CAN lose; with age? Can't turn back time. There are things ya can do to help though. The "us" we were at our best is the real us, before gravity etc got ahold of us. Your spirit never ages so that person is how you will always feel & someone saying you needn't be pretty cuz your old HURTS. You'll get there, & each yr passes faster than the last. You'll remember this & better identify with what Ive said.Try to reign in throwing that "age" dart out there like the "fat" dart. I don't THINK you meant it like it sounded. NOT fussing at you, just sayin'…
Once ya gone white (f00ds) there ain't no going back!
Perez, seriously? Oprah does so much good for so many people…who cares how big she is? She has a huge heart and isn't afraid to give, give & give some more. Not all philanthropists can looks like Angie, Brad, and George.
a thyroid condition is a legit problem. who cares if she put on a few pounds?? oprah's a babe!!
Yeah she got fat again…you better watch it as well Perez…or you'll look like that fat kid from willy wonka and the chocolate factory again.
Re: Frogger – shut the hell up you ignorant piece of trash!
mmmmm….okay taking a stab at oprah winfrey-really? hey
weren'y YOU FAT TOO?
well now you've said it
better hope you can stay chubby wouldn't want something like this happening to you., K FATTY
maybe she can blame it on whatever you blame your obestiy?
thankfully she doesnt have to ask you for tips on making excuses for your ugliness, or lack of soul.
