"As she gets older, Oprah no longer expends the energy necessary to stay in shape, and she remains seventy five-pound overweight, sagging into her mother's genes after years of swearing to fight heredity." (Page 444).
It's interesting that through all her research into Oprah's life, she didn't notice the January 2009 Oprah cover where she revealed her new battle with weight gain, entitled "How Did I Let This Happen Again?"
She also subsequently discussed this new development on her show:
Remembering how much news this revelation made, I'm shocked Kitty Kelly missed it during her research on Oprah.
Now only does Kitty Kelley ignore the fact that Oprah had been diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance known as hypothyroidism, but also Oprah weighed 160lbs in that infamous 2006 cover. In 2009 Oprah writes, "So here I stand, 40 pounds heavier than I was in 2006." Where did Kitty Kelly come up with the 75-lb number??
Oprah also writes in the article: "These days I've put myself back on my own priority list; I try to do at least one hour of exercise five or six days a week. As I work out, eat healthfully, and reorder my life so there's time to replenish my energy, I continue to do the spiritual and emotional work to conquer this battle once and for all."
Does that sound like someone who has given up her weight battle, Kitty Kelley? She just keeps including her own twisted characterizations and embellishments as if they were fact.
