The television presenter Oprah Winfrey has been urgently hospitalized with a stomach virus. The legendary journalist, several times winner of the Emmy Award for the program to which she gives her name‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’, could not make an appearance on the ‘CBS Morning’ format in which it has a section in which it talks about reading.
“She had some kind of stomach problem, stomach flu, and things were coming out of both ends,” the host, her friend Gayle King, told the audience. “I’m not going to be too graphic. Needless to say, she ended up in the hospital, dehydrated and had to be put on an IV.. It was something very serious,” she added.
“My mouth was dry and I couldn’t keep enough water down to hydrate, so I went to the ER for that and that was it. I’m not 100% yet, but I’m on my way.”Oprah said in a video call that King shared on his Instagram account. In addition, the virus has spread in her house, where five people suffer from it at this point.
Although she could not perform her section live, Winfrey’s commitment to her work was such that she shared on her Instagram profile the review of the copy that was playing that week: ‘Familiars’, by David Wroblewski. “This fascinating family saga takes us on an extraordinary journey that brilliantly interweaves history, philosophy, adventure and mysticism. to explore the meaning of love, friendship and living the true purpose of life,” he summarized.
Since 2011, the presenter has been relatively far from television and only returns to make special content. An example is this reading club in the program directed by her best friend, although it has other more popular ones such as the interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on the occasion of his controversial relationship with the British royal family.
