Oparah Winfrey denied reports that she received $1million to host her town hall with Kamala Harris.
The Washington Examiner claimed Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions, had received $1 million for a celebrity town hall with the Vice President. The broadcast featured guest speakers such as Meryl Streep, Bryan Cranston, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, and Tracee Ellis Ross.
The campaign paid more than $15 million, according to federal filings, to companies for such services.
There was $1 million for Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions on Oct. 15 in West Hollywood, California.
Winfrey, a top Harris ally, appeared at a town hall with the vice president in September and was at her final rally in Philadelphia before Election Day.
The TV personality refused to deny the report when confronted on Monday, Nov. 11 about the claims. While she said she was “not talking about the election”, Winfrey said the Examiner report was “not true”.
“I was paid nothing, never,” she continued.
Meanwhile, Trump’s celebrities backers such as Lee Greenwood and Danica Patrick confirmed they did it all for free after it was revealed how much Harris blew on celebrities – as unlike for liberal celebs, politics isn’t a cash grab to them.
Many on social media saw the funny side of her response.
Others noted that it was her production company, rather than Oprah herself, who allegedly received the million dollars.
