A serious stomach virus lands Oprah in the hospital
Oprah Winfrey, the iconic talk show host and media mogul, was unexpectedly rushed to the hospital due to a severe stomach virus. Her close friend and CBS anchor, Gayle King, revealed the distressing news live on air during a scheduled appearance on CBS Mornings.
Gayle King shared candid details about Oprah’s condition, highlighting the seriousness of the situation:
She had some kind of stomach thing – stomach flu – stuff was coming out of both ends, Gayle explained with concern. I won’t get too graphic. Needless to say, she ended up in the hospital, dehydration, had to get an IV. It was a very serious thing.
Despite the alarming health scare, Gayle reassured viewers that Oprah is expected to make a full recovery.
She will be okay. I hope she’s not mad at me for sharing that detail, Gayle added with a light-hearted tone. But I wanted to make it clear that it mattered to her and that it really bothered her that she couldn’t be here for you today.

Oprah’s dedication to her work and her audience remained steadfast even during her hospitalization. She was scheduled to appear on CBS Mornings to unveil her latest book club pick, Familiaris by David Wroblewski.
In a testament to her commitment, Oprah Winfrey took to social media to promote the book, showcasing her enduring engagement with her fans:
Summer is here, and I love to settle in with a big book that takes me through the season, she wrote on Instagram. So today I’m thrilled to announce that my next Oprah’s Book Club selection is Familiaris by David Wroblewski!

A spokesperson confirmed that Oprah is “recovering” following the stomach virus and had received an IV for dehydration as per her doctor’s recommendation. “She is resting and feeling better every day,” the spokesperson assured, providing a sigh of relief for her concerned fans.
The official Instagram account for Oprah Daily also acknowledged Gayle’s heartfelt announcement:
