Celebrities Who Have Spoken Out Against Oprah, Aside From Rose McGowan

We recently reported how actress Rose McGowan spoke out in a tweet about Oprah Winfrey, calling her “as fake as they come.” Well, McGowan isn’t the only celebrity to call out Oprah.

“I am glad more are seeing the ugly truth of @Oprah. I wish she were real, but she isn’t. From being pals with Weinstein to abandoning & destroying Russell Simmon’s [sic] victims, she is about supporting a sick power structure for personal gain, she is as fake as they come. #lizard,” McGowan captioned her original tweet, which included a photo of Oprah kissing the cheek of disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein.

Another celebrity who has spoken out about the TV personality is Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, back in 2020, he had some words for Oprah. “Oprah has done some wonderfully altruistic things with her career, but the use of her platform to amplify the voices of dubious characters rather than legitimate scientists has been a disservice,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “I hope she will lend her own powerful voice to correct it.”

MacFarlane does add that Oprah has mostly “used her platform for good during a subsequent interview with Vice TV.” However, he says, “The exception to that is the elevation of these purveyors of pseudoscience. People like Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, all the way back to Jenny McCarthy and the anti-vax movement… And it’s a strange dichotomy that I think a lot of people, particularly right now, are having trouble reconciling. You know this person who has done all of this positive work for the world and yet somehow has gotten caught up in this web of junk science on many occasions. So, it’s a tough thing to balance.”
