Elon Musk Compara a Don Lemon con la niña malcriada de "Wonka"...
Elon Musk subió la apuesta en su actual disputa con Don Lemon, comparando al presentador con Veruca Salt, la niña malcriada de las películas de "Willy Wonka".
En un post del viernes por la noche en X, el multimillonario magante escribió: "Don "Veruca Salt" [emoji de limón]", vinculando al ex moderador de CNN con el personaje de la niña mimada, que se quejaba de querer cosas de su padre rico a lo largo de la famosa película de 1971.
Como se sabe, la mala sangre entre los dos hombres se deriva de que Elon canceló el contrato de Don para presentar su propio programa de televisión en la plataforma de redes sociales X, que es de propiedad de Musk.
A principios de esta semana, Elon se enojó con Don por una entrevista suya que estaba programada que apareciera en X, pero nunca se emitió.
En esa entrevista, Don hizo algunas preguntas que irritaron a Elon y lo llevaron a terminar el acuerdo que tenían juntos, incluso antes de que el programa saliera al aire.
Don entonces fue a CNN, su antiguo empleador, para discutir lo ocurrido con la presentadora Erin Burnett. Allí se emitieron algunos clips de la entrevista que daban una idea de lo que pudo haber molestado a Musk. El discurso de odio en X y su consumo de ketamina fueron algunos de los temas que se hablaron.
El New York Post informó el viernes que Don solicitó una lista de demandas a Elon durante las negociaciones del contrato, incluyendo un Tesla Cybertruck libre y $8 millones, con $ 5 millones pagados por adelantado.
Nos pusimos al día con Don después de toda la debacle y nos dijo que X necesita su voz en la plataforma.
Está claro que Elon no piensa lo mismo.
Cara Delevingne Se ve destrozada tras el incendio en su mansión
El viernes fue un día muy duro para Cara Delevingne después de que su mansión de 7 millones de dólares en Los Ángeles se quemara hasta los cimientos, y la devastación se notaba en su cara.
Echa un vistazo a estas fotos obtenidas por TMZ, Cara parecía destrozada en el asiento trasero de un carro, mientras dejaba el Kit Kat Club en el Teatro Playhouse de Londres después de su actuación en "Cabaret" el viernes por la noche.
En una foto, la modelo aparece con una mano en la cabeza y mirando al vacío mientras su madre, Pandora, que está sentada a su lado, trata de consolarla.
Otras imágenes muestran una vista lateral de Cara dentro del carro, donde aparece cubriéndose la cara con el brazo. El padre de Cara, Charles, también estaba en el vehículo para mostrarle su apoyo a su hija después del devastador incendio.
03/15/24
Como informamos por primera vez, la propiedad de Cara en Los Ángeles se incendió en la madrugada del viernes, convirtiéndose en un montón de humo y cenizas luego de que los bomberos lograran controlar las llamas.
En un primer momento, había insinuado que sus 2 gatos habían perdido la vida en el incendio, pero más tarde aclaró en Instagram que sus felinos estaban bien. Todavía no se sabe cómo fueron rescatados los gatitos.
La unidad de incendios provocados del Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles está investigando, pero nos dicen que es solo el procedimiento habitual.
Los padres de Cara dieron su propia opinión en una entrevista con un fotógrafo en Londres el viernes. Afirmaron que el incendio fue provocado por un accidente en una línea eléctrica debido a las condiciones del viento en el Sur de California.

Bill Maher People, You're Not all Clinically Depressed Rails on Bogus Mental Health Diagnoses
Bill Maher has had it up to HERE with lots of people who have self-diagnosed themselves with mental health issues when they actually have none.
The 'Real Time' host says lots of people have confused depression and other mental health issues with the game of life.
BM is quick to say there are indeed folks with real clinical depression and other mental issues, but it's almost become trendy to glom on to these diagnoses without ever getting evaluated by a medical professional. In fact, he says 75% of American adults who are on antidepressants have never been diagnosed.
He cites Elmo -- yes, Elmo -- who recently asked on social, "How's everybody doing?" The responses were unreal -- as Bill says, it became a suicide hotline.
Maher's not saying some of these cries for help are not real ... just that some/many are way overblown.
Check out the vid and judge for yourself.

ACTOR KING BACH L.A. HOME BURGLARIZED!!! $200K Cash & Bling Stolen
-
Exclusive
- 215 shares
Actor and comedian King Bach is the latest celeb to fall victim in a rash of home burglaries in L.A., and this time the crooks scored quite the haul ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us a burglary crew hit up KB's home in January ... and took off with $200K worth of cash and jewelry!
Cops launched an investigation, and ended up busting a burglary crew they believe is responsible for a series of other burglaries around town. Multiple people were charged with felonies, but unfortunately, Bach hasn't gotten back his jewelry.
We're told that police don't believe the actor was the prime target during the crime spree. Detectives are continuing their investigation to see if more hits are linked to this crew.
Luckily, cops say KB -- whose real name is Andrew Byron Bachelor -- wasn't at home at the time of the burglary, otherwise, that could've been a whole different ball game.
These Hollywood heists don't seem to be slowing down ... as we've previously reported, IG model Abigail Ratchford and OnlyFans model Corinna Kopf were also hit by bandits.

It's the weekend, and what better way to unwind than by recapping all our TV topics?!

As O explained to Kimmel, it was to avoid a conflict of interest ... but when did that begin?
TMZ on TV
Next, we land on "TMZ on TV" ... where the gang talked about the ongoing Alec Baldwin case out of New Mexico -- where he's facing an involuntary manslaughter charge (again).
He accused the grand jury this week of being rigged ... and some here think he's right.

Cara Delevingne Parents Reveal Cause of House Fire ... Say She's Devastated
-
Exclusive Details
- 114 shares
Cara Delevingne's tragic house fire may have been electrical in origin ... at least that's what her mom and dad are saying -- who are out in the UK to support their daughter's play.
The model's parents, Charles and Pandora, got interviewed by a photog Friday in London -- where it seems the whole family's in town as Cara performs there at the Playhouse Theatre. They were asked if they knew how the fire started, and they said they did.
03/15/24
Check it out ... Charles says a rogue powerline may be to blame after a "very windy" night in Southern California. He also says that it was an electrical fire that got out of control.
FWIW ... we're hearing from our law enforcement sources that an official cause still hasn't been attributed just yet -- and officials are still in the early stages of the investigation.
03/15/24
BTW, despite reports suggesting this being investigated as arson -- our sources tell us that's not entirely accurate. While an arson unit is in the mix as they look into this -- we're told arson is not being seriously suspected. It's SOP to have arson looked into for a fire like this.
3/15/24
We broke the story ... Cara's L.A.-area home caught ablaze in the early hours Friday -- prompting a massive turnout from the fire department, part of which was caught on video.
The situation almost became even more heartbreaking after Cara shared a photo of her two cats on Instagram, seemingly suggesting they may have perished in the flames.
Cara later clarified that her felines were fine, sharing the happy update with her Instagram followers. It's unclear if the cats were rescued by the firefighters, per se, but somebody obviously got them out safe and sound. Cara thanked firefighters regardless.
It seems that Charles and Pandora didn't get the news of her cats being okay at the time of this interview -- 'cause they say here that they were still missing as far as they knew ... but luckily, they've been located.
Pandora also shared some insight into Cara's heartbreak over the sad scene, explaining that her model daughter "had her whole life" in the torched residence -- and had apparently lost a lot of items in the fire. She also says Cara is devastated ... and understandably so.
The show must go on, though ... Cara still showed up to do her Friday night performance at the Playhouse Theatre -- and her parents were right there to support her.
Tough day for the Delevingnes, no doubt.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Susie Billboard Defaced ... Hit w/ Penises, Just Like in Show!!!
-
Exclusive Details
- 74 shares
This is the definition of life imitating art, only here ... it's from Larry David's world.
Check out this defacement job that happened on a billboard on the corner of Centinela Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. here in Los Angeles -- where an advertisement for Susie Essman's Caftan from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" went up sometime this past week in an homage to the show.
If you're unfamiliar, her Susie character from 'Curb' started her own business and threw up a billboard to advertise it -- which got vandalized on TV with people drawing penises around her face ... something that delighted LD.
As it turns out ... HBO commissioned an exact replica of this fake TV billboard to go up in real life as well, and to nobody's surprise -- it was also defaced, just like on 'CYE.'
If you're wondering who's responsible for the tag job ... we have an answer. There's an activist art collective called INDECLINE -- and they say they're the ones who pulled this off. We're told this went down early Friday morning ... and they even filmed themselves doing it.
The reason ... they say they were just fulfilling a wish from none other than 'Curb' star Jeff Garlin himself ... who responded to someone this week after the billboard went up and wrote, "Someone should put a d*** up there. Maybe two." Welp, that's exactly what INDECLINE did.
The collective tells TMZ, they give Larry a lot of credit for forming their sense of humor and sensibility ... so they feel they were paying homage to him by carrying out this stunt.
They add, "A few nights ago, we watched in awe as one of our favorite pastimes, 'billboard liberation, was incorporated into the latest episode. We received a flood of texts and DMs about the existence of the billboard in Los Angeles and even saw that Jeff Garland was on Instagram calling for it to be altered."
INDECLINE goes on ... "So, as a thank you to Larry David, for his contribution to the field of art imitating life, we give you our contribution to the practice of life imitating art."
The obvious question is ... are cops gonna look into this? We're told by law enforcement sources that, at this point, nobody has called in just yet to report a crime -- so as far as they're concerned ... there's not much to do about this for now.
BTW, these are the same guys that did the naked Trump statue years ago ... so there you go. They're known for stuff like this -- and they didn't disappoint here either.
Cue 'Frolic'!

Gigi Hadid Y Bradley Cooper Tienen una apasionada cita... Besos y caricias en público
Gigi Hadid y Bradley Cooper no pudieron quitarse las manos de encima durante su cita. Vimos a la pareja besándose en repetidas oportunidades, mientras salían a comer con amigos en la ciudad de Nueva York.
La feliz pareja fue a Via Carota el jueves por la noche y compartieron mucho más que aperitivos en la mesa. Solo echa un vistazo a las fotos, Gigi parece agarrar firmemente a Brad mientras se dan un buen beso en el restaurante.
De hecho, los dos parecían como una especie de prototipo de tortolitos en un restaurante italiano, besándose repetidamente no solo delante de las cámaras, sino que también en frente de todos sus amigos cercanos.
Así que sí, definitivamente querían demostrar su afecto delante de todos y casi se siente como salir y confirmarle a todo el mundo que son una pareja.
La cita no terminó con la cena, por cierto. Bradley Cooper y Gigi Hadid también caminaron por la ciudad. Brad paseó a su perro y Hadid conversó con su íntimo amigo Tan France.
Los avistamientos de Gigi y Bradley se están convirtiendo en algo bastante común. Recuerden que apareció en el food truck de Bradley en diciembre y fueron a comer con su madre después de los Globos de Oro en enero. Pero nunca los habíamos visto así.
Los rumores de la pareja comenzaron a circular a principios de octubre, después de su enredo romántico con Leonardo DiCaprio, y agarraron vuelo cuando decidieron hacer una escapada de fin de semana después de haber sido vistos cenando juntos.
Los dos se han mantenido bastante callados sobre su relación en general, pero estas fotos del jueves por la noche parecen ser un lanzamiento oficial de su relación, algo que Brad se suponía que iba a hacer en los Oscar, pero que nunca sucedió.
No se sabe lo que comieron para la cena, aparte de sus labios. ¡Diviértanse, los dos!

Larry H. Parker Personal Injury Attorney Dead at 75
-
Exclusive
- 5.5K shares
Larry H. Parker -- the famous auto accident and personal injury attorney known for his iconic commercials in the '80s and '90s -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
The famed attorney's longtime law firm partner, Ron Beck, confirmed to us Friday that Larry had passed away ... but wouldn't elaborate on details -- including where, when or under what circumstances.
Larry's daughter-in-law, Alissa, also told us the sad news was true -- but she wouldn't reveal more either ... telling us the family is considering their next steps.
We're hearing he may have died as recently as this week, although it's not 100% clear. In any case, it's a huge blow to the legal community ... as LHP was a titan in the industry.
People in and around Los Angeles -- and even in the greater Southern California area -- know Parker well ... if not for his TV ads, then for his many billboards all over the region. If you've been on the 405 in L.A., you've very likely passed by and seen Larry's face.
He's the founder of the Law Offices of Larry H. Parker -- which mostly specializes in taking cases for people who've been in car accidents, but which takes a variety of injury-related cases. His firm has been up and running for at least 50 years ... so he's an L.A. staple.
Larry opened his law office in the '70s, and it's gone on to become one of the biggest in America -- which now employs over 150 lawyers, all of whom work under Larry's brand.
His approach to promoting his services pierced pop culture and arguably served as the blueprint for many other attorneys (and spoofs) seeking to reach an audience. You could say that the spirit of his straightforward legal ads has gone on to inspire several iterations ... both fictional and real. The 'SNL' Green & Fazio sketch seems to have been inspired by Larry's work, and ditto for 'Better Call Saul.'
Of course, there are countless other real-life lawyers who've followed in his footprints all over the country ... buying up billboards, ad space and airtime to let people know they're ready to take a case and go to court for the public.
His slogan was "We'll Fight for You!" ... and safe to say, it's burned into the American psyche.
Larry was 75.
RIP

- 1 shares
Actualización
12:31 PM PT -- Cara Delevingne ha abordado el incendio en su casa, pero preocupó a mucha gente al insinuar que sus gatos habían muerto en el incendio, lo que ha aclarado que no es el caso.
Al principio, Cara publicó una foto de dos gatitos persas con el comentario: "Mi corazón se rompió hoy ... No me lo puedo creer. La vida puede cambiar en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Así que aprecia lo que tienes".
3/15/24
Luego publicó imágenes de su propiedad que le habían enviado con otro mensaje que decía: "Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón a todos los bomberos y personas que han aparecido para ayudar". Por supuesto, su mensaje sobre los gatos asustó a muchos, haciéndoles creer que sus mascotas habían fallecido en el incendio. Pero, Cara ha dejado las cosas claras.
Luego publicó una segunda foto de los gatos, diciendo: "¡Están vivos! Gracias a los bomberos". ¡Uf!
8:48 AM PT -- Un estremecedor video de la mansión de Cara Delevingne en Hollywood Hills, grabado esta mañana, muestra lo catastrófico que fue el incendio. Todavía se pueden ver rescoldos de humo saliendo de la casa.
03/15/24
La casa de Cara Delevingne en Los Ángeles se incendió esta semana en medio de la noche y resultó ser un gran incendio que requirió la intervención de mucha gente.
La propiedad de la modelo en Studio City comenzó a arder la madrugada del viernes, alrededor de las 3:52 AM, según nos dicen, y requirió una gran respuesta de los bomberos, quienes usaron sus mangueras para apagar las llamas que se habían apoderado de la casa.
03/15/24
Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que se registró una llamada al 911 por un incendio alrededor de las 3:57 AM PST, y cuando los bomberos llegaron a la escena se dieron cuenta de que un cuarto situado en la parte trasera de la propiedad había agarrado fuego, aunque no está clara la posible causa por ahora.
En cualquier caso, se trataba de un gran incendio. Nos dicen que el fuego se extendió hasta el ático y nuestras fuentes dicen que parte del techo incluso se derrumbó. Nos dicen que los bomberos tardaron más de 2 horas en contenerlo y apagarlo por completo. No solo eso, nuestras fuentes dicen que hubo algunos lesionados.
Nos dicen que un bombero se cayó de una escalera tratando de apagar el fuego y resultó herido, aunque no está claro el alcance de sus lesiones, y nuestras fuentes dicen que un ocupante de la casa fue tratado por inhalación de humo también.
Sabemos que Cara no estaba en la escena. Ella está en Inglaterra en este momento y fue fotografiada por ahí por el jueves. Cara ha estado actuando en el Teatro Playhouse de Londres toda la semana.
No podemos subestimar la magnitud del incendio, ya que requirió una gran respuesta. En total, nos dicen que 94 bomberos se presentaron en la propiedad para luchar contra el fuego y que 13 motores diferentes llegaron a la escena. Nuestras fuentes dicen que también se enviaron 4 ambulancias a la propiedad.
No hace falta decir que la casa de Cara es una belleza y apareció en una edición de Architectural Digest en 2021, en la que ella y su hermana ofrecieron un recorrido por los jardines y mostraron la remodelación de su interior. Es una casa de 4 dormitorios, 6 baños y más de 8.000 pies cuadrados.
Incluye casi todos los elementos que tienen las mansiones de lujo en Los Ángeles.
Un dato interesante: esta casa se construyó originalmente en 1941 para una familia famosa: los Von der Ahes, fundadores de la cadena de supermercados Vons. Así que sí, hay historia en esta casa.
Nos pusimos en contacto con su equipo, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper PDA-Filled Date Night ... Smooches Galore at Dinner
Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper couldn't keep their hands off each other on date night ... lockin' lips repeatedly while out to dinner with friends in New York City.
The happy couple hit up Via Carota Thursday night and shared a whole lot more than appetizers at the table ... just check out the pics, Gigi's got a pretty firm grasp of Brad's face while they're lip-to-lip and smoochin'.
In fact, the two of them were sorta the picturesque model of lovebirds at an Italian restaurant ... repeatedly kissing not just in front of the cameras but also for all their close friends to see.
So, yeah ... they definitely wanted to show off some PDA here, and on its face -- this feels like them coming out and confirming for everyone, we're an item.
The date didn't end with dinner either, BTW ... BC and GH also strolled around town with Brad walking a dog while Hadid chatted up her close friend Tan France.
Gigi and Bradley's sightings are becoming pretty commonplace ... remember, she hit up Bradley's new cheesesteak food truck in December and grabbed dinner with him and his mom after the Globes in January. With that said, we've never seen them quite like this.
Rumors about the couple first started to swirl in early October -- following her romantic entanglement with Leonardo DiCaprio -- and that only kicked into higher gear when they decided to take a weekend getaway after they were seen out to dinner together.
They've stayed pretty mum on their relationship overall ... but now, these pics from Thursday night seem to be a hard launch of their relationship -- something Brad was reportedly supposed to do at the Oscars, which never happened.
No word on what they ate for dinner ... other than each other's faces, that is. Have fun, you two!

UPDATE
12:31 PM PT -- Cara Delevingne has addressed the fire at her home, but she worried a lot of people by insinuating that her cats had died in the blaze ... something she's now clarified as not being the case.
At first, Cara posted a photo of two Persian kitties of hers with the caption ... "My heart if broken today ... I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have."
3/15/24
She then posted B-roll footage that was taken at her property and sent to her, and another message that read, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help."
Of course, her cat post startled many ... leading them to believe her pets had perished in the fire. But, Cara has set the record straight.
She posted a second photo of the cats, and wrote ... "They are alive!! Thank you to the firefighters." Phew!
8:48 AM PT -- Harrowing video of Cara Delevingne's Hollywood Hills mansion, shot this morning, shows just how catastrophic the fire was. You can still see smoke embers rising from the home.
03/15/24
Cara Delevingne's Los Angeles-area home caught on fire this week in the dead of night -- and it turned out to be a massive blaze that required the cavalry to be called in.
The model's massive property in Studio City was ablaze early Friday morning -- around 3:52 AM, we're told -- which required a massive response from the fire department ... with firefighters rushing in with hoses to put out flames that had overtaken much of the home.
03/15/24
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... a 911 call for a fire first came in around 3:57 AM PST, and when the fire crews showed up, we're told they came to realize that a backroom of some sort on the property caught on fire -- although it's unclear what the cause is for now.
In any case, this was a big one ... we're told the fire spread up into the attic and our sources say part of the roof even collapsed. We're told it took firefighters upwards of 2 hours to get it contained and fully put it out. Not just that, but our sources say some injuries occurred.
We're told one firefighter fell off a ladder trying to put out the blaze and was hurt -- although it's unclear to what extent -- and our sources say an occupant at the home was treated for smoke inhalation as well.
We know Cara was not on the scene ... she's in England right now, and was photographed out and about on Thursday. Cara's been performing there at the Playhouse Theatre all week.
We can't understate how big of a fire this was, as it required a huge response. In total ... we're told 94 total firefighters showed up to fight the blaze in 13 different engines that arrived on the scene. Our sources say 4 ambulances were also sent to the property.
It goes without saying, Cara's home here is a beaut and was actually featured in an Architectural Digest spread in 2021 -- where she and and her sister gave a tour of the grounds, including their remodel of the inside. It's a 4-bed, 6-bath home that's over 8,000 sq. feet.
It includes just about all the bells and whistles of luxury in Los Angeles.
Interesting tidbit -- this home was originally built in 1941 for a famous family ... the Von der Ahes, the founders of the Vons supermarket chain. So yeah, there's history for this house.
We've reached out to her camp ... so far, no word back.

Jeremy Strong & Michael Imperioli Stay in Character ... During Climate Broadway Protest
Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli weren't gonna let a group of rowdy climate protesters ruin their Broadway play -- 'cause in the middle of an outburst ... they kept on acting!
A couple climate activists representing the group Extinction Rebellion NYC jumped up to warn about the dangers of climate change during a performance of "An Enemy of the People" Thursday night ... and in the middle of JS and MI's show, things got loud quickly.
The protesters were shouting about government failures and the dying planet -- but, they chose a time when the play called for some audience engagement ... and some in the crowd seemed to think it was part of the show initially.
You see, "An Enemy of the People" follows a man -- in this case, played by Strong -- who tells an inconvenient truth and is crucified by his town ... reality imitating art, no doubt.
You can even hear Strong in one of the videos saying to let the protesters continue ... clearly staying in character while Imperioli literally shoved the man up the stairs -- totally in line with his character who is hoping to sweep the truth under the rug.
Of course ... the audience ultimately realized the protest wasn't actually part of the show -- but in the moment, it looks like a lot of people believed it was all an act.
10/04/23
It's a pretty slick way to protest ... especially when compared to stunts other climate activists have pulled -- like the London protesters who disrupted Les Misérables or the dude who glued himself to the ground at the U.S. Open last summer.
Unclear what charges, if any, the protesters may face over this incident ... but it sounds like the show kept right on going. So ... no harm, no foul?
Kudos to Jeremy and Michael for keeping their cool and sticking with their method approach -- if you can't beat 'em, just say your lines!

Oprah Esta es la razón por la que dejé WeightWatchers ... No era apropiado!!!
Oprah Winfrey dice que renunció al directorio de WeightWatchers después de casi una década "porque no era apropiado" y no quería parecer poco ética.
La leyenda del talk show explicó su decisión a Jimmy Kimmel el jueves, donde dijo que su próximo especial sobre medicamentos para bajar de peso jugó un papel importante en su decisión de abandonar la empresa en la que estuvo años como embajadora oficial.
De acuerdo a Oprah, este especial de televisión sobre la pérdida de peso en el que ha estado trabajando era muy importante para ella, por lo que quería deshacerse de cualquier señal que pudiera ser considerada inapropiada.
Específicamente, O dice que no quería que la gente pensara que estaba promoviendo un especial sobre medicamentos para perder peso y asumiera que estaba haciendo dinero por estar vinculada a WeightWatchers, que ahora está en el negocio de prescribir los mismos medicamentos como Ozempic.
La salida de Oprah de WeightWatchers se supo hace dos semanas, cuando anunció que iba a donar todas sus acciones de la compañía al National Museum of African American History and Culture. Por supuesto, también admitió recientemente que ella misma toma medicamentos para perder peso.
Ahora que ha dado un paso al costado, le dijo a Kimmel que nadie podrá acusarla de estar haciendo esto con fines de lucro, porque no hay nada que ganar en este momento. También dice que para el equipo de WeightWatchers fue muy dura la noticia de su despedida.
En otra parte de la entrevista, Oprah compartió por qué abrazó estos milagrosos medicamentos, diciendo que un doctor le dijo que sus luchas por perder peso estaban vinculadas a su genética y que "la obesidad es una enfermedad." Dice que con los fármacos ha perdido 12 kilos.
El especial de Oprah "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution" se emite el lunes.

Oprah Here's Why I Left WeightWatchers ... It Was a Bad Look!!!
Oprah Winfrey says she stepped down from the WeightWatchers board after nearly a decade 'cause it was a super bad look ... and she didn't want to come off as unethical.
The talk show legend explained her decision to Jimmy Kimmel Thursday ... sharing that her upcoming special about prescription weight loss drugs played a major factor in her decision to leave the company she's been with for years as an official ambassador.
As Oprah put it ... this weight loss medication TV special she's working on was very important to her -- so she wanted to shed any appearance of impropriety by being involved.
Specifically ... O says she didn't want people to think she was just promoting a special about weight loss meds and assume she was making money off of it by being attached to WW -- which is now in the business of prescribing those same medications, like Ozempic.
News of Oprah's WW exit dropped two weeks ago -- when she announced that she was donating all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Of course, she's also recently admitted she's on weight loss drugs herself.
Now that she's taken the step of leaving WW behind, she told Kimmel nobody could accuse her of doing all this for profit ... 'cause there's no money to be made at this point. She also says the WeightWatchers crew took the news of her bowing out pretty hard.
In a separate portion of this interview, Oprah shares why she embraced the miracle drugs -- saying her weight struggles over the years were tied to her genetics by a doc, and she went so far as to say that "obesity is a disease." She says she's lost 40 lbs. on the drugs.
Oprah's special 'Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution' airs Monday.
