SD. Whoopi Goldberg breaks silence on her dramatic weight loss revealing the unexpected way she measures her transformation

WHOOPI GOLDBERG & KELLY CLARKSON OPEN UP: THE CANDID WEIGHT-LOSS CONVERSATION THAT LEFT THE AUDIENCE STUNNED đŹâ¨
It wasnât just another feel-good celebrity chat â it was real talk. On the May 13 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Whoopi Goldberg and Kelly Clarkson shared an unexpectedly raw and heartfelt exchange about their weight loss journeys, revealing stories they had never before discussed publicly.
đ âIâve Lost Almost Two Peopleâ â Whoopi Gets Candid
The moment began lightheartedly, when Clarkson jokingly told Goldberg that she looked âlike Benjamin Button,â appearing younger every year.
Goldberg laughed and then got real.
âFirst of all, itâs all the weight Iâve lost, âcause Iâve lost almost two people,â she said to thunderous applause.
The 68-year-old View cohost explained that sheâd been using âthat wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help,â referring to Mounjaro, a prescription medication similar to Ozempic thatâs become widely discussed in recent months.
âItâs been really good for me,â she said, adding that her doctors used it to âjumpstart [her] systemâ after years of struggling with weight-related health issues.
đŹ âThat Fat Suitâs Terrible!â â A Wake-Up Call from a Film Role
Goldberg recalled the moment she truly realized how much her body had changed â and it came in a way she never expected.
âI did a film called Till last year, about Emmett Till, and [this woman] said, âThe movieâs good but that fat suitâs terrible.â I was indignant: âThis is not a fat suit â this is me!ââ
The story drew laughter from Clarkson and the audience, but also underscored how easy it can be not to notice gradual weight gain when living in the public eye.
đ âSee, I Was 300 Pounds.â
As the conversation turned more serious, Goldberg revealed just how much her health had been impacted before her transformation.
âSee, I was 300 pounds,â she said quietly. âIt was a lot of weight for me to be carrying, and I didnât realize how much weight I was carrying⌠I saw myself every day, but it didnât look strange to me â and then I couldnât breathe.â
She also joked about being single and therefore less likely to notice the changes.
âIf youâre not rollinâ over on somebody, thereâs gonna be nobody there to tell you,â she quipped, drawing more laughter.
đŹ Kellyâs Reaction â âI Didnât See It Eitherâ
Clarkson, whoâs also spoken openly about her own wellness journey, related to Goldbergâs story.
She admitted she too hadnât realized the full extent of her weight loss until others began pointing it out.
âItâs weird â I was seeing someone, and even then, I didnât notice,â Clarkson said, laughing.
Goldberg responded with her signature humor:
âSee, I rolled over and thought, âOoh. Did I just press my own pants?ââ
The audience roared â but beneath the laughter, both womenâs honesty resonated deeply.
đŞ Beyond Vanity: A Conversation About Health, Self-Acceptance, and Humor
Goldberg told Page Six earlier this year that losing weight wasnât about appearance, but about survival.
âIt was the only way doctors could jumpstart my system,â she said at the time. âI needed to breathe. I needed to move again.â
For both Clarkson and Goldberg, the discussion wasnât about perfection â it was about progress.
Their willingness to blend humor with vulnerability turned what could have been a surface-level chat into one of the most powerful and relatable moments daytime TV has seen all year.
⨠A Shared Message
By the end of the segment, the tone was clear: both women, from different generations and backgrounds, had arrived at the same truth â itâs not about losing weight, itâs about gaining control of your life again.
âYou donât always see it happening,â Clarkson said, smiling. âBut then one day you just⌠feel lighter â in more ways than one.â
And Goldberg nodded, adding softly,
âThatâs when you know youâre finally breathing again.â
đď¸ Two icons. One honest conversation.
In a world obsessed with appearances, Whoopi Goldberg and Kelly Clarkson reminded us that the most beautiful transformations start from within.
