The photo that made Oprah admit she was altering her image on covers of O magazine


The year was 2008, and Oprah Winfrey was on top of the world with a hit talk show, magazine, private jets, fancy cars and a $50 million estate in Montecito.
But the one thing the billionaire couldn't control was her weight, and a single paparazzi photo taken on an off day caused her to come clean just weeks later to her fans about photoshopped covers of O mag that constantly made her appear slim and trim.
She left fans scratching their heads. If someone like Oprah with private chefs, 24-hour a day on call personal trainer (Bob Greene) couldn't keep the weight off, what hope was there for the rest of us?
Singer Alanis Morissette once said she liked paparazzi, "It forces transparency" she commented.
We agree...
