Former President Donald Trump recently stated in a recent interview that:
“Oprah used to really like me, she loved my key lime pie. She loved a lot of things about Mar-a-Lago.”
It has been noted that Oprah Winfrey is currently recuperating after being admitted to a hospital for “very serious” stomach problems. Gayle King shared details about her good friend’s medical emergency during the Tuesday, June 11, episode of CBS Mornings.
“She had some kind of stomach thing — stomach flu — where stuff was coming out of both ends. I won’t get too graphic,” said King. “But needless to say, she ended up in the hospital, dehydration, she had an IV. So it was a very serious thing.”
“She will be okay,” King added. “I hope she’s not mad at me for sharing that detail.”
King provided an update on Winfrey after the talk show titan missed a scheduled appearance on CBS Mornings to introduce her latest book club selection, Familiaris, by novelist David Wroblewski. The book is a follow-up to Wroblewski’s debut 2008 novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, which Winfrey also endorsed.
Instead of being interviewed, the author discussed his new book with the morning show’s three hosts.
Hours after King revealed why Winfrey was absent, the Oprah Daily Instagram account released a statement saying the mogul is on the mend.
“Ms. Winfrey is recovering following a stomach virus and received an IV due to dehydration at the recommendation of her doctor. She is resting and feeling better every day,” read the statement signed by a spokesperson for Oprah.
Winfrey also recently completed the press run for The Color Purple remake, which she co-produced.
