Oprah Winfrey reacts to being ‘dragged’ online during Paris Fashion Week

Oprah Winfrey is aware of the trolling that took place over her and Gayle King’s moment at the Paris Fashion Week, and has also responded to the criticism.

The 72-year-old and her longtime friend had arrived together to the Chloé Fall/Winter 2026 runway show, and videos of them walking slowly and carefully were shared online and made fun of.

In a new clip shared on Instagram by user @jznotthatjayz, the television personality stated, “On the internet, somebody was… you know how people drag you on the internet. So they were dragging me and Gayle saying, ‘Look at them walking like they’re 90 years old.'”

Oprah then explained the reason that she was walking in that manner, and revealed how it was for the sake of fashion.

"And so there was a moment where we’re walking into the Chloé fashion show, and my stylist had just handed me the Chloé sunglasses before I got out of the car. Now, I wear glasses or I wear contacts. So those were not prescription glasses,” she added.

The author dished that she couldn’t see where she was walking, which is why she looked like that at the time.

Notably, Oprah also opened up about Gayle, saying that she had two broken toes at the time which is why she was also being cautious.
