Oprah Winfrey to Leave WeightWatchers Board

Oprah Winfrey plans to leave WeightWatchers' board of directors after nearly a decade, amid the company's declining profits. She will donate her stake in WeightWatchers and proceeds from future stock options to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The company's stock fell by 25% after the announcement. Winfrey has been using medication for weight loss and will advocate for recognizing obesity as a chronic condition. WeightWatchers is shifting towards prescription weight loss medications, which has caused controversy among members.
