Usually I am reluctant to respond to rumors in general, but these days I realize that if you don't stop a lie, it just gets bigger. I was not paid a dime. My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign.
For the live-streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production.
I did not take any personal fee. However the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.
Many of those criticizing Winfrey over the payment called attention to her estimated $3 billion net worth, insisting that she did not 'need' the money and therefore should not have accepted any form of fee-personal or otherwise.
