- Winfrey said she invited both men because she considered information that had helped her valuable to other people as well.
- McGraw, who is not a medical doctor, first appeared in 1998 after helping Winfrey prepare for a 1996 libel trial, later receiving a weekly slot and his own show in 2002.
- Winfrey said her close friend Gayle King introduced her to Oz, whose practical explanations of medical topics she found helpful.
- The article says McGraw was accused of pressuring parents toward a facility later facing lawsuits and abuse allegations, while Oz, the CMS administrator, made unsupported Medicaid claims and sold weight-loss supplements lacking scientific evidence.
