Oprah Winfrey has been accused of asking the Olson twins about their “size” during an interview in 2004. The twins were allegedly struggling with an eating disorder, and the internet erupted in outrage after the interview resurfaced.
The twins were already petite and slim at the time, but Mary-Kate had to confront Oprah over the awkward “size” question during the broadcast. Oprah, who is fifty at the time, sarcastically replied that she was always “petite.” Mary-Kate responded that if they were obsessed with their size, it would be a different story. The twins later entered a rehabilitation center and was treated for anorexia, which made Oprah’s interview questions seem even more inappropriate. The twins’ interview with Oprah has shocked viewers, with some questioning whether Oprah was ever called out for this question.
