TAYLOR y TRAVIS CIERRAN EL GIMNASIO PARA UNA CITA... De dos horas de entrenamiento

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce dejaron a los entusiastas del fitness de Los Ángeles esperando mientras se apoderaban de un gimnasio de West Hollywood para una larga cita de entrenamiento privado.

La pareja cerró el gimnasio Dogpound el lunes durante dos horas, dejando a los miembros del gimnasio esperando afuera con cara de confusión. Échale un vistazo a las nuevas imágenes que muestran a varios miembros del gimnasio esperando en la acera con agua en la mano.

El gimnasio Dogpound es uno de los favoritos de Taylor, ya que a menudo reserva todas las instalaciones para sesiones de entrenamiento privadas. Recordemos que una vez intentó que echaran a Justin Bieber del gimnasio en 2020 cuando se pasó de la raya durante su entrenamiento privado.

Taylor Swift Gym Denies Booting Patrons Employees Do Exit Though, Sources Say

update

11:34 AM PT -- We've gotten some much-needed clarification on what exactly is happening at the gym Taylor Swift frequents whenever she drops in for a workout -- and while it's not nearly as dramatic as it was made out to be ... she does, in fact, get special treatment when she's there.

A rep for Dogpound tells TMZ ... "Dogpound is a by-appointment establishment. We value members' experience and have never had anyone wait outside for 2 hours. The narrative running in the media does not accurately reflect circumstances. We respect the privacy of our clients." On the issue of who these people outside were, they wouldn't say.

Lucky for us, we found the answer another way ... sources familiar with this gym tell us that several of the folks pictured in workout attire are actually Dogpound employees -- whom, we're told, do have to get out when Taylor swings by to get some exercise.

Planet Fitness Stock Price Nosediving ... Over Transgender Controversy

Planet Fitness seems to be going through the exact same thing Bud Light did last year -- and yes, it's once again all about a transgender person ... who's got a certain group fired up.

You've probably heard about this by now ... a woman in Alaska posted a photo of a trans woman in the women's locker room at her Fairbanks location -- accusing the company of allowing men in a space that she thinks should be exclusive to cisgender women.

The original pic appeared to show the trans woman in question shaving over a sink in the locker room, and the lady who took it ranted and raved on a video that went viral afterward.

In the aftermath ... her local Planet Fitness reportedly revoked her membership, and let the unidentified trans woman stick around -- who has continued using the locker room. Planet Fitness has also explicitly defended the transgender member, saying their policy allows people with certain gender identities to use the locker rooms that they see fit.

With that said, they also say people can't act in bad faith on this ... or they'll get booted.

Now, more photos of this trans woman have been taken and circulated in the days since all this first kicked off ... and as you can imagine, it's drummed up a lot of outraged reactions.

Specifically, a lot of folks on the right have been blowing this story up over the past week or so -- and they've been calling on people to cancel their Planet Fitness memberships nationwide ... and on its face, it would appear a good handful of members are doing so.

The reason that seems apparent ... PF's stock price has taken a somewhat big hit, and their market value has also plummeted -- with the stock going from $66 to about $56 over the course of 12 days or so, the amount of time that's passed since this firestorm has taken off.

As a result of the stock dip, their market cap has also fallen around $400 million -- going from about $5.3 billion to about $4.9 bil over the course of 5 days, starting last week.

Tough times for those in the thrust of cancel culture ... which is still going strong.

PLANET FITNESS SUS ACCIONES VAN EN PICADA Por polémica trans

Planet Fitness parece estar pasando exactamente por lo mismo que Bud Light el año pasado, y sí, tiene que ver de nuevo con una persona transgénero.

Usted probablemente ha oído hablar de esto. Una mujer en Alaska publicó una foto de una mujer trans en el vestuario de mujeres, acusando a la empresa de permitir hombres en un espacio que ella piensa que debe ser exclusivo para mujeres.

La foto original parecía mostrar a la mujer trans en cuestión afeitándose, y la señora que tomó despotricó en un video que se hizo viral después.

032024_patricia_silver_kal 03/11/24
nada cómodo
Facebook / Patricia Silva

Finalmente, el local de Planet Fitness, revocó su membresía, y dejó que la mujer trans no identificada se quedara, y ha seguido utilizando el vestuario. Planet Fitness también ha defendido explícitamente el miembro transgénero, diciendo que su política permite que las personas con ciertas identidades de género utilice los vestuarios que les parezca.

Dicho esto, también dicen que la gente no puede actuar de mala fe, o serán expulsados.

Ahora, más fotos de esta mujer trans han circulado, y como se puede imaginar, hay muchas reacciones de indignación.

En concreto, un montón de gente de derecha ha estado alentando a que la gente cancele sus membresías de Planet Fitness en todo el país, y parece que un buen puñado de miembros lo están haciendo.

El precio de las acciones de la compañía ha recibido un golpe, y su valor de mercado también se ha desplomado, con las acciones que van desde $66 a $56 en el transcurso de 12 días más o menos, la cantidad de tiempo que ha pasado desde que esta tormenta de fuego ha despegado.

Como resultado de la caída de las acciones, su capitalización de mercado también ha caído alrededor de $400 millones, pasando de alrededor de $5.3 mil millones al rededor de $4.9 mil millones en el transcurso de 5 días, a partir de la semana pasada.

Son tiempos de cambio y los puntos de vista chocan.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Limbers Up During (G)I-dle Concert ... At MLB Seoul Series

X / @MLB

Fernando Tatis Jr. had some solid pump-up music as he prepared for his game against the Dodgers on Thursday ... casually stretching just feet away from K-pop group (G)I-dle's pregame show!!

The San Diego Padres superstar was spotted limbering up prior to Game 2 of the MLB Seoul Series at Gocheok Sky Dome ... and just like the day prior with aespa, the host city booked a big-name act to get the crowd ready for the contest.

Soyeon, Minnie, Miyeon, Yuqi and Shuhua made their way onto the field to belt out some tunes prior to the Dodgers vs. Padres game ... doing renditions of "Super Lady," "Tomboy" and "Queencard."

Tatis Jr. had the best seat in the house for the 10-minute set ... and he didn't seem to mind one bit that there was a full-blown concert going on right in front of him.

Perhaps the music helped ... 'cause FTJ had a much better outing on Thursday ... going 2-4 with two runs and an RBI.

As for (G)I-dle, it also marked the first time since member Shuhua rejoined the group after a month-long hiatus to focus on her health ... so it was quite the special day for Neverland all around.

The Padres won the game, 15-11, to even up the series ... and both teams will now return to the U.S. to prepare for the rest of the 2024 season.

Jonathan Majors No le preocupa la demanda de su ex novia... Entrenando por trabajo

032024-jonathan-majors-kal 03/20/24
Para nada sorprendido
TMZ.com

Jonathan Majors no está preocupado por la nueva demanda de su ex novia Grace Jabbari, en cambio, se está poniendo en forma para lo que parece ser un nuevo rol en una película.

Nos encontramos con el actor el miércoles en Los Ángeles, cuando acababa de salir de una sesión de gimnasio con su entrenador -esto es, fuerza y acondicionamiento con el gurú Jason Best- y Jonathan Majors realmente estaba dispuesto a conversar. Esto, por supuesto, mientras caminaba sin camisa y se paseaba absolutamente tonificado.

030624_jonathan_majors-kal-V2 3/7/24
A toda máquina

Por cierto, Best es el mismo tipo que lo puso en plena forma para su papel de culturista en "Magazine Dreams" y evidentemente siguen trabajando juntos porque JM se ve muy bien.

De todos modos, hablamos con Jon sobre todo lo que está pasando en su vida en este momento, incluyendo este posible trabajo del que hemos escuchado en una película, aunque los detalles exactos todavía son un poco oscuros. ¡Jonathan nos confirmó, sin embargo, que se está poniendo en forma para el "trabajo" y cuando le preguntamos si era para este papel, ciertamente no lo negó!

Nuestro fotógrafo también habló con Jon sobre su relación con Meagan Good, que sigue muy en serio con los tortolitos apareciendo en eventos públicos juntos y muy cariñosos.

Le preguntamos a Jon qué tiene Meagan que es diferente de otras novias y su respuesta es muy reveladora, insinuando fuertemente que Meagan capturó su corazón y algo más.

Jonathan dijo que Meagan, quien estuvo a su lado durante todo el juicio, era su corazón y acreditó la conexión que tienen como el motivo de éxito de su relación.

Nuestra conversación con Jonathan llega un día después de que se revelara que su ex, Grace Jabbari, quien testificó en su contra en diciembre durante un juicio penal, lo demandó, alegando que la agredió en el transcurso de su relación y también la difamó.

Recuerden, Jonathan fue condenado por delito menor de agresión y acoso en diciembre y actualmente está a la espera de su sentencia. Su equipo legal ha solicitado que se anule la condena y nos dijo que no estaban sorprendidos por la reciente demanda de Grace.

Jonathan expresó un sentimiento similar sobre esto el miércoles, diciéndonos que está listo para dejar todo en el pasado o, al menos, está tratando.

Jonathan Majors Hittin' the Gym for 'Work' Unbothered by Ex-GF's Lawsuit

032024-jonathan-majors-kal 03/20/24
NOT SURPRISED AT ALL
TMZ.com

Jonathan Majors isn't sweating Grace Jabbari's lawsuit against him -- but he is working up a sweat ... continuing to train for what sure sounds like a new movie role.

We got the actor out Wednesday in L.A., where he was just leaving a gym session with his trainer -- strength and conditioning guru Jason Best -- and JM was actually willing to chat ... this, of course, while walking out shirtless and looking absolutely ripped.

030624_jonathan_majors-kal-V2 3/7/24
ON THE GRIND

BTW -- Best is the same guy who got him in peak condition for his bodybuilding role in "Magazine Dreams" -- and clearly, they're still working together ... 'cause JM looks great here.

Anyway, we chopped it up with Jon about a number of things going on in his life right now -- including this potential gig we've been hearing he has lined up for a film project ... although, the exact details are still a little murky. Jonathan did confirm to us, though, that he's getting in shape for "work" ... and when we asked if it was for the role, he certainly didn't deny it!

Our photog also talked to Jon about his relationship with Meagan Good -- which is going strong ... as the lovebirds continue to hit public events together ... and pack on PDA.

We asked Jon what makes MG different than other girlfriends he's had ... and he's got a pretty telling response, strongly hinting that Meagan's captured his heart and then some.

Jonathan called Meagan, who stood by him during his highly-publicized trial, his heart and credited their connection for their success as a couple.

Our chat with Jonathan here comes a day after it was revealed that his ex, Grace Jabbari -- who testified against him in December during a criminal trial -- sued him, claiming he assaulted her over the course of their relationship and defamed her as well.

Remember, Jonathan was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment in December ... and is currently awaiting sentencing. His legal team has filed to have the conviction tossed out -- and told us that they weren't surprised by Grace's recent filing.

Jonathan expressed a similar sentiment about the sitch on Wednesday too ... telling us he's just ready to put the whole situation behind him, or is trying to anyway.

Richard Simmons Anuncia que fue diagnosticado de cáncer

Richard Simmons está causando preocupación por su bienestar una vez más, esta vez anunciando que ha sido diagnosticado con cáncer.

El gurú del fitness dice que fue diagnosticado con cáncer de piel después de una reciente visita al dermatólogo, que hizo cuando se dio cuenta de que tenía un extraño bulto debajo de su ojo derecho que no desaparecía.

Richard dijo el martes en un post de Facebook que su médico le quitó la mancha, la examinó y regresó con un diagnóstico de carcinoma de células basales, la forma más común de cáncer de piel.

La personalidad televisiva, de 75 años, detalló que fue remitido a un especialista, quien hizo un procedimiento donde quemaron su piel dos veces para eliminar todo el cáncer.

Esta es la segunda vez que Richard despierta preocupación por su salud esta semana. Recordemos que hace un par de días anunció en Facebook que se estaba muriendo.

Después de que innumerables fans publicaran mensajes de amor y preocupación, Richard aclaró que en realidad no se estaba muriendo, no más que todos nosotros, y se disculpó por causar cualquier confusión.

Explicó: "Lo siento, muchos de ustedes se han inquietado por mi mensaje de hoy. No me estoy muriendo. Fue un mensaje para decir que debemos abrazar cada día que tenemos".

Richard ha estado interactuando bastante con sus fans en los últimos meses, todo un giro, teniendo en cuenta que desapareció por completo del público allá por 2014.

¿A dónde se fue Richard?
TMZ.com

Eso alimentó años de rumores sobre su estado de salud hasta 2022, cuando lanzamos "TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons", que detallaba las verdaderas razones por las que se había alejado de sus queridos fans.

Más recientemente, también ha estado publicando mucho sobre Pauly Shore y la biopic sobre su vida, un proyecto que Richard no apoya, pero con el que Pauly seguirá adelante de todas formas.

En cuanto al diagnóstico de cáncer de Richard, dice que el médico no fue capaz de eliminar todo el cáncer y que va a volver para otra ronda de tratamiento.

Richard Simmons Reveals Old Skin Cancer Diagnosis ... Get Spots Checked Out!!!

UPDATE

12:59 PM PT -- Once again, Richard Simmons is clarifying an alarming post regarding his health ... Wednesday afternoon he said the skin cancer incident "happened so many years ago," and he was only mentioning it to implore folks to have a doctor check out any spots or skin abnormalities.

UPDATE

Richard says they were able to fully remove his cancerous growth. As for causing the panic among his fans, he says ... "I guess I should be more careful about what I write about."

Richard Simmons is sparking concern for his well-being once again ... this time announcing he's been diagnosed with cancer.

The fitness guru says he got the skin cancer diagnosis after a recent visit to the dermatologist -- an appointment he made when he noticed a strange bump under his right eye that wouldn't go away.

Richard said Tuesday, in a Facebook post, his doctor removed the blemish, examined it and came back with a basal cell carcinoma diagnosis -- the most common form of skin cancer.

As the 75-year-old detailed it ... he was referred to a specialist, who did a procedure that involved burning his skin twice -- so all the cancer could be removed.

This is the second time Richard has sparked concern for his health this week. Remember, a couple days ago, he announced on Facebook that he was dying.

After countless fans posted messages of love and concern, Richard clarified he wasn't actually dying -- anymore than the rest of us -- and he apologized for causing any confusion.

He explained ... "Sorry many of you have gotten upset about my message today ... I am not dying. It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have."

Richard has been interacting with his fans quite a bit in recent months -- quite a turnaround, considering he completely disappeared from the public back in 2014.

WHERE DID RICHARD GO?

That fueled years of rumors about his well-being ... until 2022, when we dropped "TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons," detailing the real reasons he's pulled back from his adoring fans.

Most recently, he's also been posting a lot about Pauly Shore's planned biopic about his life -- a project Richard's not down with, but Pauly insists he's moving forward.

As for Richard's cancer diagnosis ... he says the doctor wasn't able to remove all the cancer, and he'll be going back for another round of treatment.

Oprah Pasé hambre por 5 meses... Habla de dietas anteriores

031924_oprah-kal
Peleando por perder peso
ABC

Oprah Winfrey se está abriendo sobre los extremos a los que ha llegado para bajar de peso durante su vida, revelando que incluso pasaba hambre con tal de bajar unas libras.

La leyenda del talk show habló de sus años haciendo dietas en su nuevo especial de ABC, "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution", donde compartió que una vez hizo una dieta líquida para perder 67 libras, lo que quedó registrado en un episodio de 1988 en donde salió con un carro lleno de grasa durante su programa de entrevistas.

La revelación que está haciendo en el especial, sin embargo, es que la pérdida de peso duró muy poco. Oprah está admitiendo que comenzó a ganar peso de nuevo casi al día siguiente después de que el programa se convirtiera en objeto del escarnio público.

La pérdida de peso se ha convertido en una parte importante de la marca de Oprah, quien fue embajadora e importante inversora de la marca WeightWatchers.

Todo el mundo se acuerda de su anuncio "Me encanta el pan", ¿verdad?".

A principios de este mes, la presentadora renunció a su cargo en el directorio de WeightWatchers después de casi 10 años, luego de que admitiera que está usando medicamentos para bajar de peso.

Oprah dice que dejó WeightWatchers para evitar un posible conflicto de intereses con este nuevo especial de ABC, ya que ahora la empresa está distribuyendo recetas de medicamentos que ayudan a perder peso.

Ella misma ha elogiado el fármaco que está utilizando, con el cual ha perdido 40 libras.

Oprah I've Starved Myself for 5 Months ... Talks Past Diets

031924_oprah-kal
FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE
ABC

Oprah Winfrey is opening up about the extreme lengths she's taken to lose weight over the years ... revealing she previously starved herself in order to drop some pounds.

The talk show legend discusses her years of yo-yo dieting in her new ABC special, "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution," sharing that it took a liquid diet to help her lose 67 pounds -- which she famously marked in 1988 by wheeling out a wagon filled with fat during an episode of her talk show.

The revelation she's making in the special, though, is that celebration of weight loss was extremely short-lived -- Oprah now admits she began gaining the weight back almost the very next day after that show ... becoming the object of public ridicule.

Weight loss has become a major part of Oprah's brand, having previously become a brand ambassador for, and major investor in, WeightWatchers.

Everyone remembers her "I love bread" commercial, right?

Earlier this month, she stepped down from her position on the WW board of directors after nearly 10 years ... following her admission she's now using weight loss drugs.

Oprah says she left WeightWatchers to avoid a conflict of interest while making this new ABC special ... since WW is now doling out weight loss drug prescriptions.

She's praised the weight loss drug she used, crediting it for recently shedding 40 lbs.

Kate Middleton No se ve tan delgada después de la cirugía ... Dice Jillian Michaels

Kate Middleton se veía un poco delgada para algunos en el nuevo video de ella del fin de semana pasado, pero una gurú del fitness está de su lado y esa es Jillian Michaels.

Una de las primeras conclusiones que muchos sacaron al ver el clip de Kate y el príncipe William en el Windsor Farm Shop -a una milla de su casa- es que ella se veía un poco delgada, o más bien, más delgada de lo habitual. Kate Middleton ya es una mujer muy delgada, pero aquí podría verse aún más flaca.

Paseando con William
TMZ / The Sun

Respecto a eso, Jillian le dice a TMZ que desde su perspectiva Kate se ve muy bien, tanto en términos de peso como de salud en general, sobre todo si se tiene en cuenta que pasó por el quirófano hace solo 2 meses.

En los ojos de Jillian, Kate está en su peso justo para una mujer de su tamaño y también señala que alguien que suele ser más delgado, puede perder algunos kilos al someterse a un procedimiento como el de ella y para Jillian, Kate se ve normal.

En cuanto a las especulaciones sobre su salud, su peso o cualquier otra cosa, Jillian dice que la gente tiene que calmarse y dejarla en paz porque no es de su incumbencia.

Jillian recuerda que los temas de salud son muy personales, y que dado todo el escrutinio al que ha estado sometida Kate últimamente, Jillian dice que todos necesitan perspectiva.

Sabio consejo de Jillian, pero algo nos dice que el público seguirá escudriñando cada pequeño detalle. Recuerden, antes del video que publicamos el lunes, no la habíamos visto desde diciembre, lo que es bastante tiempo.

Por supuesto, ella se sometió a una cirugía abdominal por una condición que no se ha hecho pública y el Palacio de Kensington dijo que no reanudaría sus funciones hasta por lo menos después de Pascua.

Lo que levantó las sospechas de todo el mundo respecto a su paradero y su estado de salud fue la foto que publicó para el Día de la Madre la semana pasada, la que se comprobó que había sido manipulada.

El tiempo dirá si este último avistamiento apaga todo el fervor y la especulación en torno a su vida. Jillian ciertamente espera que sí, porque parece bastante harta del ruido.

Kate Middleton Not Looking Too Thin Post-Surgery ... So Says Jillian Michaels

Kate Middleton came across as somewhat thin to some who saw our new video of her from this past weekend -- but she's got one fitness guru in her corner ... one Jillian Michaels.

One of the first takeaways many had upon viewing the clip of Kate and Prince William at the Windsor Farm Shop -- about a mile from her home -- was that she looked sorta skinny ... or rather, skinnier than usual. KM is already a slender woman ... but here, perhaps more so.

031824_kate_middleton-kal-v2 3/16/24
OUT AND ABOUT
TMZ / The Sun

To that, Jillian tells TMZ ... Kate looks just fine in her eyes -- both in terms of weight and overall health ... especially when you consider she went under the knife only 2 months ago.

In JM's eyes, Kate is right where she oughta be for a woman of her general size -- even noting to us that someone who's usually a bit thinner might lose some pounds while recovering after a procedure like the one she underwent ... and to Jillian, Kate looks normal.

On the subject of speculating on Kate -- be it her health, her weight or anything else -- Jillian tells us folks need to piss off and leave her alone ... 'cause it's not their business.

She reminds us someone's health journey is very personal -- and considering the type of microscope Kate's been under lately ... Jillian says everyone needs perspective.

Sage advice from Jillian -- but something tells us the public will continue picking apart every little detail. Remember, prior to the video TMZ published Monday ... we hadn't seen her on her own two feet since December, which is quite a long time.

Of course, she underwent abdominal surgery -- for a condition that hasn't been made public -- and Kensington Palace said she wouldn't be resuming her duties until at least after Easter.

What made everyone even more suspicious of her whereabouts and well-being had a lot to do with a photo she released on Mother's Day last week ... which was proven to be doctored.

Time will tell if this latest sighting tamps down all fervor and speculation surrounding her life and condition. Jillian's certainly hoping it does -- 'cause she seems pretty sick of the noise.

Richard Simmons Not Really Dying ... Despite Concerning Announcement

Richard Simmons is setting the record straight after sparking concern for his well-being earlier on Monday.

The fitness guru clarified on X that he was doing just fine ... mere hours after he told his followers that he was dying. The 75-year-old star apologized to his followers for upsetting them with his shocking declaration.

He explained the concerning update was not meant to be an announcement about his health ... but rather a message about appreciating every day. He apologized again for any confusion the upload may've caused.

ICYMI ... earlier in the day, Richard took to Facebook and shared that he had sad news to announce. He wrote ... "I am ….dying. Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying.  Every day we live we are getting closer to our death. Why am I telling you this?  Because I want you to enjoy your life to the fullest every single day. Get up in the morning and look at the sky… count your blessings and enjoy."

Richard went on to encourage his fans to eat healthy, move every day and watch his workout videos on YouTube for inspiration. He signed off his note by encouraging his followers to listen to Tim McGraw's song "Live Like You Were Dying."

In the hours it took him to clarify his social media activity, countless fans took to his post to send him love and healing thoughts.

Richard -- who took a step back from the limelight the last few years -- has been somewhat vocal on social media in recent months. He notably sounded off on Pauly Shore's plan to play him in a biopic ... noting that he had not given his permission for the flick.

Oprah Esta es la razón por la que dejé WeightWatchers ... No era apropiado!!!

031524_oprah_kal
No hay conflicto de interés
ABC

Oprah Winfrey dice que renunció al directorio de WeightWatchers después de casi una década "porque no era apropiado" y no quería parecer poco ética.

La leyenda del talk show explicó su decisión a Jimmy Kimmel el jueves, donde dijo que su próximo especial sobre medicamentos para bajar de peso jugó un papel importante en su decisión de abandonar la empresa en la que estuvo años como embajadora oficial.

De acuerdo a Oprah, este especial de televisión sobre la pérdida de peso en el que ha estado trabajando era muy importante para ella, por lo que quería deshacerse de cualquier señal que pudiera ser considerada inapropiada.

Específicamente, O dice que no quería que la gente pensara que estaba promoviendo un especial sobre medicamentos para perder peso y asumiera que estaba haciendo dinero por estar vinculada a WeightWatchers, que ahora está en el negocio de prescribir los mismos medicamentos como Ozempic.

La salida de Oprah de WeightWatchers se supo hace dos semanas, cuando anunció que iba a donar todas sus acciones de la compañía al National Museum of African American History and Culture. Por supuesto, también admitió recientemente que ella misma toma medicamentos para perder peso.

Ahora que ha dado un paso al costado, le dijo a Kimmel que nadie podrá acusarla de estar haciendo esto con fines de lucro, porque no hay nada que ganar en este momento. También dice que para el equipo de WeightWatchers fue muy dura la noticia de su despedida.

En otra parte de la entrevista, Oprah compartió por qué abrazó estos milagrosos medicamentos, diciendo que un doctor le dijo que sus luchas por perder peso estaban vinculadas a su genética y que "la obesidad es una enfermedad." Dice que con los fármacos ha perdido 12 kilos.

El especial de Oprah "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution" se emite el lunes.

Oprah Here's Why I Left WeightWatchers ... It Was a Bad Look!!!

031524_oprah_kal
No Conflict Of Interest
ABC

Oprah Winfrey says she stepped down from the WeightWatchers board after nearly a decade 'cause it was a super bad look ... and she didn't want to come off as unethical.

The talk show legend explained her decision to Jimmy Kimmel Thursday ... sharing that her upcoming special about prescription weight loss drugs played a major factor in her decision to leave the company she's been with for years as an official ambassador.

As Oprah put it ... this weight loss medication TV special she's working on was very important to her -- so she wanted to shed any appearance of impropriety by being involved.

Specifically ... O says she didn't want people to think she was just promoting a special about weight loss meds and assume she was making money off of it by being attached to WW -- which is now in the business of prescribing those same medications, like Ozempic.

News of Oprah's WW exit dropped two weeks ago -- when she announced that she was donating all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Of course, she's also recently admitted she's on weight loss drugs herself.

031524_tmz_live_oprah.01_00_32_27.Still002
AVOIDING A BAD LOOK
TMZ.com

Now that she's taken the step of leaving WW behind, she told Kimmel nobody could accuse her of doing all this for profit ... 'cause there's no money to be made at this point. She also says the WeightWatchers crew took the news of her bowing out pretty hard.

In a separate portion of this interview, Oprah shares why she embraced the miracle drugs -- saying her weight struggles over the years were tied to her genetics by a doc, and she went so far as to say that "obesity is a disease." She says she's lost 40 lbs. on the drugs.

Oprah's special 'Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution' airs Monday.
