Oprah Winfrey's Departure Sends WeightWatchers Shares Plummeting

Oprah Winfrey is stepping down from WeightWatchers and donating her shares to the National Museum of African American History and Culture due to her use of weight-loss medications, which conflicts with the company's non-medical approach. She aims to advocate for health equity and reduce stigma around obesity. WeightWatchers has made moves into the clinical space of the weight-management industry, and the market for weight-loss drugs is expected to exceed $100bn by 2030.
