Oprah Winfrey Exits WeightWatchers Board, Donates Stock; Company Says Moves Aim To Counter “Perceived Conflict Of Interest Around Her Taking Weight Loss Medications” Oprah Winfrey is leaving the board of directors of WeightWatchers after a 9-year run and donating her stock in the company in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest over her use of weight-loss medication. Shares in the company fell almost 20% on the news. In addition to not standing for re-election in May when the company holds board elections, Winfrey said she plans to donate all of her stock in WW to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. As of Jan. 1, she owned 1.13 million shares worth $6.34 million, according to data from LSEG. The company said Winfrey is giving to the museum in order to support its goal to “promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans and to eliminate any perceived conflict of interest around her taking weight loss medications.” She will also donate the proceeds from any future exercises of her WW stock options to NMAAHC. “I look forward to continuing to advise and collaborate with WeightWatchers and CEO Sima Sistani in elevating the conversation around recognizing obesity as a chronic condition, working to reduce stigma, and advocating for health equity,” Winfrey said. “Weight health is a critically important topic and one that needs to be addressed at a broader scale. I plan to participate in a number of public forums and events where I will be a vocal advocate in advancing this conversation.” A dramatically effective new class of weight-loss drugs like the injectable Ozempic has gained widespread popularity in recent years, especially in the entertainment business. https://deadline.com/2024/02/oprah-winfrey-exits-weightwatchers-board-weight-loss-drugs-1235841950/

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/wendy-williams-diagnosed-with-primary-progressive-aphasia-and-dementia-302068851.html In 2023, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Aphasia, a condition affecting language and communication abilities, and frontotemporal dementia, a progressive disorder impacting behavior and cognitive functions, have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy's life. The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances. Unfortunately, many individuals diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia face stigma and misunderstanding, particularly when they begin to exhibit behavioral changes but have not yet received a diagnosis. Wendy is still able to do many things for herself. Most importantly she maintains her trademark sense of humor and is receiving the care she requires to make sure she is protected and that her needs are addressed. She is appreciative of the many kind thoughts and good wishes being sent her way.

kudos for taking an actual stand

The man who struck Bebe Rexha in the face with his phone at a New York concert last summer may get away with only facing 40 days of community service for the attack. During a recent court hearing, Nicholas Malvagna accepted an offer from the court to have his charges dismissed if he completes 40 days of community service and does not violate an order of protection for 6 months. According to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, Malvagna not only confessed to throwing the phone, but also stated, “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.”
