Oprah slams weight loss gummies using her name and likeness. ‘Nothing to do with them’

No, Oprah Winfrey isn’t peddling weight loss gummies.

The media mogul took to social media to set the record straight about fraudsters using her celebrity to sell weight loss supplements.

In a video shared to her more than 21.5 million Instagram followers, Winfrey warned against “social media ads, emails, and fake websites” using her name and likeness to push the supplements onto unsuspecting consumers. It’s not clear who is advertising the product — or if there’s a real product at all.

The award-winning journalist and talk show host sounded the alarm after she said at least five people reached out to ask how they could get their hands on the supposed gummies.

“It’s coming to my attention, many times over. Somebody’s out there misusing my name,” she said. “I have nothing to do with weight loss gummies or diet pills. And I don’t want you all taken advantage of by people misusing my name.”

Consumer watchdogs say it’s not uncommon for fraudsters to use fake celebrity endorsements to trick consumers into buying products and services. In 2016, the Federal Trade Commission sued a Florida-based marketer accused of sending spam emails and using phony endorsements to peddle “unproven dietary products.”

“The sites also falsely represented that the products for sale had been featured or endorsed by Oprah Winfrey or the hosts of the television show ‘The Doctors,” the commission said. “These fake news websites then linked to other sites where consumers could purchase the defendants’ weight-loss products.”

It’s not clear if any consumers have been impacted by the latest scam touting Oprah Winfrey’s name, or if the media mogul plans to take legal action.
