Did Marie Osmond Throw Some Shade At Oprah Winfrey?

Posted on

Most of us have seen the commercials for Nutrisystem that feature Marie Osmond saying she lost 50 lbs. Can’t deny that the 57-year old singer looks good. She’s been a spokesperson for Nutrisystem for the last ten years.

In an interview, Osmond tells Alexis Christoforous of Yahoo, “Nutrisystem taught me how to eat, so my body loved me back.”

“I’m not desperately running to have a candy bar,” she says.

Osmond connects her success with Nutrisystem to the fact that she does not have to weigh in, measure food or count points. This is what Weight Watchers does however, a company that Oprah Winfrey just bought a 10% stake in back in 2015.

Winfrey has been talking about her 42-pound weight loss with Weight Watchers in recent advertisements while toasting a glass of wine.

“Everybody’s trying to get into whatever works for whomever,” Osmond commented on Winfrey’s Weight Watchers connection. “To me, toasting a glass of wine, there’s a lot of sugar in that glass,” she continued.

Well obviously Winfrey has been counting her wine points because she did after all lose 42 lbs.
