Oprah Winfrey breaks silence on 'being paid $1MILLION to support Kamala Harris' failed campaign
SUMMARY
Oprah Winfrey has denied reports that she was paid $1 million to help Kamala Harris's campaign by hosting a star-studded town hall event in September. In an interview with TMZ, Oprah firmly stated, "Not true" when asked about the alleged payment, adding, "I was paid nothing. Ever." This comes after a report by The Washington Examiner on November 11, 2024, claiming that Winfrey's Harpo Productions received $1 million from the Harris campaign in October following the event. In the same interview, Oprah also declined to comment on President-elect Trump’s victory, saying, "I'm not talking about the election." When asked about the potential consequences for Prince Harry's visa status under Trump's presidency, she closed her car door without responding. The Harris campaign, which spent over $1.2 billion during the 2024 election, has been under scrutiny for its large expenditures, including costly event productions like a six-figure set for Harris's appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
