Kamala Harris paid Oprah Winfrey’s production company $1M during campaign, Oprah didn't get a dime
The Washington Examiner reported last Friday that the Harris campaign paid $1 million to Winfrey’s production company Harpo on Oct. 15.
Oprah Winfrey denied being paid $1 million for the Kamala Harris for the “United for America” town hall event, which was live-streamed on Sept. 19 and hosted by Winfrey, 70., saying she received no personal fee.
Winfrey, 70, commented on an Instagram post:
“Usually I am reluctant to respond to rumors in general, but these days I realize that if you don’t stop a lie, it just gets bigger. I was not paid a dime. My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign.
“For the live-streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production,” she said.
“I did not take any personal fee. However the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story,” she concluded.
