Oprah Winfrey Drops the Mic on Wild Rumors That She Got a $1 Million Payday to Hype Up Kamala Harris

Oprah Winfrey is here to squash some next-level internet gossip. Apparently, word on the street (okay, Fox News) was that Kamala Harris shelled out a cool $1 million to Oprah’s Harpo Productions to secure her star-powered support on the 2024 campaign trail. But Oprah’s got receipts and a snappy response, and she’s shutting this circus down in classic Oprah style.

Here’s How it All Went Down
So, picture it: the night before Election Day 2024, Kamala’s rally in Philly is in full swing, and Oprah shows up to lend her iconic voice and “You get a vote! You get a vote!” energy. Some fans were loving it, but a few news outlets were… well, let’s just say “creative” in their interpretations.

Cue headlines claiming that Kamala Harris had dipped into campaign funds to throw Oprah a million-dollar bone, just to get her on stage. This was apparently part of what they called “millions in campaign dollars” on “various entertainers,” because, hey, why not lump Oprah in with the fictional superstar squad?

Oprah Responds… on Instagram, Naturally
Instead of shrugging it off, Oprah decided to set the record straight in the most 2024 way possible: by dropping some truth bombs in an Instagram comment. (We’d all kill for Oprah’s IG alerts, right?) She starts by saying she usually doesn’t dignify rumors with a response. But this time? She’s rolling up her sleeves and breaking it down.

“Usually I am reluctant to respond to rumors in general,” she wrote, “but these days, I realize that if you don’t stop a lie, it just gets bigger.” You tell ‘em, Oprah! Then she drops the hammer: “I was not paid a dime.” Not one Oprah penny, people! Instead, her presence was a “way of supporting the campaign” because apparently, philanthropy runs through her veins as naturally as kombucha at Coachella.

So… Who Actually Got Paid?
Oprah says Harpo was indeed brought in to produce the event, but not to inflate her bank account. Harpo’s responsibilities covered everything from set design to lights, cameras, and even the benches and chairs they sat on. And guess what? Those hardworking people didn’t wave a magic wand—they worked, and they got paid.

Or as Oprah put it, “I did not take any personal fee. However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.”

The Moral of the Story
So next time you hear a wild story, remember to ask yourself: is Oprah out here hustling for cash like the rest of us? Or is she just trying to help out where she can, while a dedicated team does the heavy lifting?

End of story indeed.
