Oprah Winfrey Denies Being Paid $1M To Endorse Kamala Harris

American television host, Oprah Winfrey has debunked reports that she was paid $1 million to campaign for the Democratic Party’s candidate in the just-concluded US presidential election, Kamala Harris.

Washington Examiner had claimed the TV personality’s company, Harpo Productions, received a paycheck to host a celebrity town hall on behalf of Harris in September.

Reacting, the talk show legend made it clear that she didn’t accept a dime to campaign for the Democratic nominee.

“Not true. I was paid nothing, ever,” TMZ quoted Oprah as saying.

Oprah refused to talk about the election results, which saw the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald Trump emerge as the President-elect.

In total, the Harris campaign spent $1.2billion on the race while Trump's campaign spent $750 million, a Financial Times analysis found, although some believe Harris's spending could be even higher. 

Harris also reportedly spent six figures to build out the set for her October appearance on the hit podcast 'Call Her Daddy', where she sat down with the show's host Alex Cooper.

According to a report by The Washington Examiner, her campaign spent six figures alone on building out the very beige set of the podcast for her small appearance.

The outlet also reported that it was filmed inside a hotel room in Washington DC, with crews building the set to imitate Cooper's actual set in Los Angeles. 

The Harris campaign, affiliated PACs and the Democratic National Committee amassed over $2.3 billion in political contributions.
