From Variety

Oprah Winfrey will leave the board of WeightWatchers after almost 10 years, following the entertainment mogul’s revelation that she is using a weight-loss drug.
Winfrey informed the company this week that she decided to not stand for reelection at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in May 2024. She 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.
Winfrey’s agreement with WeightWatchers specifies that she “will not engage in any other weight loss or weight management business, program, products or services” during the term of her relationship with the company and for one year afterward, according to the company’s filings with the SEC.
Winfrey said she will donate her interest in WeightWatchers to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “I have been a long-time supporter of this worthy organization, and I am proud to continue my support,” she said.

It took them long enough to decide that. No way you can promote something you're not using and show fierce weight loss like she did. She still making money off of WW though. Stepping down from the position has nothing to do her stocks in the company.

Does donating her interest in Weight Watchers mean her 10% stake in Weight Watchers? Inquiring minds want to know.

Actually, reaching your goal with Ozempic would be a great segue into using WW to maintain your weight. No one who loses the weight through Ozempic, like the gastric bypass, can keep the weight completely off without fierce management.

This obese lazy cruel cow who has ruined as many careers as she has created need to sit down!! When Oprah lost weight and brought a wagon of fat out on stag back in the 90s, I lost all respect for Oprah. She put all the weight back and looked like a complete fat FAILURE. 30 years later and she still can't get her weight in order even with billions of dollars in the bank. No self control. None.
