In 1986, Oprah asked Cindy Crawford to stand up so everyone could look at her body. She even suggested that Elite Model Management Founder John Casablancas had “groomed her.”
Crawford called out the talk-show host for objectifying her body on Apple TV’s docuseries, The Super Models, which premiered 37 years after the infamous interview.
"When you look at it through today's eyes, Oprah's like, 'Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you're worthy of being here,'" the model said. "In the moment, I didn't recognize it, and watching it back I was like, 'Oh, my gosh. That was so not okay, really.' Especially from Oprah.”
The interview was removed from Oprah’s YouTube channel following social media backlash.
