Oprah Winfrey Was Never ‘Paid a Personal Fee’ by Harris Campaign, Production Company Denies Rumor


Oprah Winfrey was never "paid a personal fee" by the Kamala Harris campaign, her production banner says. A rumor had circulated she was paid $1 million.

“The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place Sept. 19 outside Detroit, Mich.,” a spokesperson for Harpo shared in a statement. The virtual town hall was also billed as a celebrity gathering, featuring words from figures such as Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Tracee Ellis Ross and Julia Roberts. The mill reached an apex Monday when a video published on TMZ featured Winfrey being questioned, “Is it true that they paid you a million dollars for the endorsement for Kamala?”
