Supermodel Cindy Crawford has addressed a past incident involving Oprah Winfrey that she now considers inappropriate. In the Apple TV+ documentary series “The Super Models,” Crawford reflects on a moment from her 1986 appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which she described as “so not OK.”
During the interview, Crawford was just 20 years old and at the beginning of her modeling career. Oprah asked her to stand up and show off her body to the audience, a request that Crawford now views as objectifying and uncomfortable. At the time, she complied, but in retrospect, she feels the moment was inappropriate and highlights issues of respect and consent.
Crawford’s comments in “The Super Models” have sparked discussions about the treatment of women in media and the evolving standards of what is considered acceptable behavior. The incident is seen by many as a reflection of the broader issues within the entertainment industry, where women have often been subjected to scrutiny and objectification.
Oprah Winfrey, a media mogul known for her influential talk show and advocacy for various social issues, has not publicly responded to Crawford’s remarks. The situation underscores how societal norms and perspectives on appropriate behavior in media have shifted over the decades.
Crawford’s willingness to speak out about the incident is part of a larger trend where public figures are re-examining past experiences through a modern lens, contributing to ongoing conversations about respect, consent, and the treatment of women in the public eye.
