America is going through a cultural reckoning. Over the last few years, wrongdoers have been called out during the MeToo movement as well as during the revival of the Black Lives Matter movement following the murder of George Floyd in the Spring of 2020. Now, Oprah Winfrey has come under attack for bluntly asking the Olson twins about their \u201csize\u201d after rumors arose that the then-17-year-old girls were struggling with an eating disorder.<\/p>\n

Oprah has been forced to defend herself after the internet erupted in outrage after the Olson twins\u2019 interview with Oprah resurfaced last week. The video, which was recorded in 2004 while Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson were only seventeen, occurred while the pair were allegedly struggling with an eating disorder. Child stars often have it rough.<\/p>\n

At the time of the Oprah interview, Mary-Kate was struggling with an eating disorder. Although the pair of child stars were already petite and slim, Mary-Kate had to confront Oprah over the awkward \u201csize\u201d question during the broadcast.<\/p>\n

Oprah was fifty at the time of the interview with the Olson twins. During the discussion, she came out and asked the girls about the eating disorder rumors and snuck in a question about the girls\u2019 sizes.<\/p>\n

I know a new rumor [that has] recently surfaced has really upset you, right?\u201d Oprah said. The girls delay answering because they don\u2019t seem sure about which rumor Oprah wants to discuss. \u201cYou know, the one about eating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like a good sister, Ashley steps in to defend Mary-Kate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, you know people are going to write what they\u2019re going to write. We try not to read the good or the bad because it just comes with the territory. Either you\u2019re too fat, too skinny, and people are just gonna write what they \u2013\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Oprah interrupts to ask: \u201cWhat size are you, by the way?\u201d<\/p>\n

Both girls are stunned by Oprah\u2019s tackles question.<\/p>\n

\u201cSize?\u201d they ask.<\/p>\n

Mary-Kate replies that she was always \u201cpetite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oprah sarcastically replies, \u201cOh, that\u2019s so interesting!\u201d<\/p>\n

Oprah has been open about her struggles with weight throughout her career in the public eye. She became a spokeswoman from Weight Watchers and used the program to help manage her weight.<\/p>\n

After the awkward question, Oprah tries to recover by saying, \u201cThat is so interesting, I\u2019m obsessed with size, and you\u2019re like, \u2018I really don\u2019t know!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Mary-Kate replies, \u201cIf we were obsessed with our size, it\u2019d be, I don\u2019t know, a different story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not too long after the Oprah interview aired, Mary-Kate entered a rehabilitation center. She was treated for anorexia while in the facility, which was news that made Oprah\u2019s interview questions seem even less considerate. She spent six weeks inside the facility and was released at the end of July 2004.<\/p>\n

Now, the Olson twins\u2019 interview with Oprah has shocked viewers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow! Was Oprah ever called out for this? Inappropriate much?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know we\u2019re living in different times, but how did they think that was okay!?! [Because] they\u2019re young?\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think about Orpah\u2019s interview question about size?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
