Oprah Winfrey, an American talk show host, on Monday denied receiving $1 million to support Kamala Harris in the U.S. presidential election.
Ms Oprah’s response came after a report in the Washington Examiner claimed that Ms Harris’ campaign had paid her production company, Harpo Productions, $1 million for hosting a town hall event in September.
In a bid to set the record straight, when questioned by a TMZ reporter, Ms Oprah firmly stated, “Not true. I was paid nothing, ever.”
Ms Oprah emphasised that she did not accept any compensation for her involvement, reaffirming her long-standing support for Democratic candidates without financial motivation, as she has been a long-time supporter of the Democratic Party.
She had also campaigned for President Joe Biden and ex-President Barack Obama.
