Oprah Winfrey clarified Thursday that she was “not paid a dime” for her $1 million Kamala Harris campaign production, noting that only her Harpo staff were compensated. The TV icon cleared the air following rumors circulating online that her support of the vice president’s campaign was part of a quid pro quo.
Winfrey came to her own defense in the comment section of the online media company The Shade Room, where a commentator rejected the idea that the TV icon would ever sell her support for a political candidate.
“Y’all thinking Oprah’s support can be purchased is beyond me,” the comment read.
