00:00 Speaking of Naomi, she's in Milan today,
00:02 along with Demi Moore, Kate Moss, and Linda Evangelista
00:06 for Fendi's Spring/Summer 2024 show.
00:09 As for supermodel Cindy Crawford,
00:11 well, she's been posting from Nashville
00:13 and making headlines for calling out Oprah
00:15 for this awkward moment on her show in 1986.
00:19 Does she always have this body?
00:21 Stand up just a moment.
00:22 Now this is what I call a bod.
00:24 I was like the chattel for a child,
00:27 like be seen and not heard.
00:29 When you look at it through today's eyes,
00:31 when Oprah's like, "Stand up and show me your body,
00:35 "like show us why you're worthy of being here."
00:38 In the moment, I didn't recognize it.
00:40 Only when I looked back at it and I was like,
00:41 "Oh my gosh, that was so not okay, really."
00:44 Especially from Oprah.
00:46 This morning, Oprah's team removed the archived interview
00:49 from her YouTube page, but Cindy's comments
00:52 come at an interesting time for the TV titan.
00:54 Shamed every single week.
00:57 Oprah talked body image during a discussion
01:00 of the state of weight,
01:01 which dropped this afternoon on Oprah Daily.
01:03 This is a world that has shamed people
01:05 for being overweight forever, you know,
01:07 and all of us who've lived it know
01:09 that people just, people treat you differently.
01:11 They just do.
01:12 I get treated differently if I'm 200 plus pounds
01:15 versus under 200 pounds.
01:17 Despite Cindy's comments,
01:18 she's still apparently friendly with Oprah,
01:20 appearing on her show 10 times
01:22 and as a guest on Oprah's Masterclass.
01:25 The supermodel even attended
01:26 Oprah's star-studded 69th birthday.
01:28 ♪ Freedom ♪
01:30 I just wanna be a real person.
01:32 At the height of her fame,
01:33 Cindy was candid with ET about the pressure of modeling.
01:36 I don't have to be the sexiest person
01:38 in the room all the time,
01:38 nor do I have to be the, you know, whatever.
01:41 I just wanna be who I am.
01:43 Cindy, Naomi, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista
01:46 all appear in the Supermodels,
01:48 Apple TV+'s four-part docu-series that dropped today.
01:52 As long as I'm gonna live, it's okay.
01:55 Linda, who settled a disputed lawsuit with Cool Sculpting,
01:58 claimed the procedure left her permanently disfigured.
02:01 It's been years since I worked
02:05 and years of hiding.
02:08 Had someone told me, "You're going to grow fat,
02:11 "hard fat that we can't remove,"
02:14 I would never have taken the risk.
02:16 My heart is broken.
02:18 I loved my job.
