Weight Watchers is gaining after the roll out of a new ad campaign featuring claims that media mogul Oprah Winfrey lost 40 pounds on the system.

A new campaign, announced Thursday, touts Winfrey’s weight loss and the “fantastic and full life” she is leading on Weight Watchers.
“Weight Watchers is easier than any other program I’ve ever been on. It’s a lifestyle, a way of eating and a way of living that’s so freeing. You never feel like you are on a diet and it works,” said Winfrey in a release from the company.

“I believe others who are looking to make a change will be as inspired as I am about the stories we are sharing in this new campaign.”
Following the announcement, Weight Watchers stock leaped around 11% in pre-market trading as of 9:09 a.m ET.
This is not the first time Oprah has moved the stock. Her announcement of an investment in Weight Watchers and subsequent tweets regarding the company have caused jumps in the past.

“Last month, Winfrey said she would not take Ozempic and similar drugs in the class of weight-loss medications because she viewed them as an “easy way out”during a discussion with WeightWatchersCEO Sima Sistani. The comments led to WeightWatchers stock nosediving by as much as 15% the next day“Oct 9, 2023

A few months later Oprah says this…

“The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift,” Winfrey tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story-by Elizabeth Leonard (December 14, 2023 10:21AM EST)

What is she doing? She keeps contradicting herself . Oprah, please come back from the dark side and share your truth with the world. This is no time to desert us. Hasnt she heard we’re on the cusp of another huge wave of feminism? She could be such a light right now. She should do right by all the women that have loved her for decades and tell the truth. Women joined WW and handed over their money because they trusted her.
Now, she has admitted weight loss drugs helped her lose those 40 pounds.She says she doesn’t take Ozempic or Wegovy but another weight loss drug that she refuses to name. She’s still not telling the whole truth. It’s sad, disappointing. I wonder how much money they made by lying to women across the world by crediting the WW point system for her 40 pound weight loss.
