Oprah Winfrey recalled being publicly body-shamed by Joan Rivers , who made her weight topic No. 1 during Winfreys first appearance on The Tonight Show in 1985.

On Mondays episode of the Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast , the media mogul recalled how, despite being invited to talk about her then-booming TV show, A.M. Chicago, Rivers focused on her appearance instead .

Joan Rivers turns to me and she says, Tell me, why are you so fat? Winfrey recalled to host Lima.

She admitted she was so stunned by having her weight called out on national television that she didnt know what to do with that.

I just [said], like, Oh, I just love potato chips, Joan, Winfrey shared, which prompted the late comedian to fire back, Shame on you.

Rivers, who died in 2014, then told Winfrey: Ill let you come back if you lose 15 lbs. You need to lose 15 lbs.

Winfrey admitted she had sided with Rivers at the time of the interview, adding, I accept[ed] that I should be shamed, because how dare me, be sitting up here on The Tonight Show.

After vowing to the late Fashion Police host that she would shed the weight, she revealed to Lima that she never did. Of course, I didnt lose the 15 lbs. I went and ate my way to another 10 lbs, Winfrey said.

Winfreys encounter with Rivers on the Tonight Show ultimately led her to enroll in a health retreat to slim down, she said. At the time, they called them fat farms, Winfrey shared.
