Oprah Winfrey Clarifies $1M Payment from Harris Campaign

Winfrey states the payment to her company was for production costs, not a personal endorsement fee.

Federal Election Commission records show two $500,000 payments from the Harris campaign to Harpo Productions for event production.
Oprah Winfrey has publicly denied receiving any personal fee for her endorsement of Kamala Harris.
The payments were made to cover production costs for a town hall event hosted by Winfrey's production company.
Critics argue that Winfrey, given her wealth, should have covered the production costs as a donation.
Other celebrities, including Cardi B, also confirmed they were not paid for their appearances at Harris campaign events.
