Oprah Winfrey will exit the board of Weight Watchers after almost 10 years. The entertainment mogul told the company this week that she wouldn’t stand for re-election at its annual shareholders meeting to be held in May 2024. Winfrey has served on the company’s board since 2015 when she acquired a 10% stake in WeightWatchers.
“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 in a statement, per Variety.
