Oprah hospitalized: What she says about health scare

(WJW) – “Oprah is FINE!”

Gayle King got so tired of being asked after her best friend Oprah Winfrey’s brief hospitalization, so she simply had a shirt made.

“Oprah is FINE! Thank you for asking,” the front of the t-shirt reads. King posted the picture on social media in front of a large picture of Oprah and a sign that says “Oprah Daily.”

“Just got back to the office and 10 people asked me the same question,” the post reads.

The back of the shirt continues, “She appreciates your concern!”

Oprah was hospitalized on Tuesday, June 11, with a stomach virus. She missed a scheduled appearance on CBS Mornings, which Gayle hosts, to reveal her new book club pick.

Gayle announced Oprah’s illness on the show that morning to explain her absence.

“She had some kind of stomach thing – stomach flu – stuff was coming out of both ends,” Gayle overshared.

Oprah was hospitalized with dehydration and needed an IV.

“I had dry mouth, and I couldn’t keep enough water down to get hydrated, so I went to the emergency room for that, and that’s just it,” she said in a FaceTime video on Gayle’s social media.

Winfrey said she’s “not 100; I’m on my way to 100,” and said several people in her household were also sickened by the virus.
