This situation is serious, Gayle emphasized. Oprah needs to get well. "I hope she's not mad at me for telling you that." The long-time friends have been sharing a close bond over the years. With Oprah unavailable, the presentation of the book "Familiaris" by David Wroblewski, 65, moved forward in her absence. Earlier, she had shared her thoughts on the book on Instagram.
A representative for Winfrey later confirmed King's statements to the US publication "People." They also provided an update on her health: Oprah is on the mend. She's recovering from her stomach bug and followed her doctor's advice to receive an infusion. "She's feeling better each day," the spokesperson added.
