Summary

As more brutal ICE confrontations go viral following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, The View co-hosts react in Hot Topics to the growing conversation — including podcasters and conservative media voices speaking out. Then, Oprah Winfrey opens up about releasing the “shame and blame” she once carried about her weight, inspired by groundbreaking research from endocrinologist Dr. Ania Jastreboff, co-author of their new book, Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, and What It’s Like To Be Free. Oprah reflects on how “food noise” shaped her weight journey and calls on insurance companies to recognize obesity as a chronic disease: “These medications should be accessible to those who need them most.” Finally, Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg look back on The Color Purple 40 years later and Oprah reveals why playing Sofia in the 1985 film was the only time she felt truly comfortable in her body.
