“Unearthed Oprah Interview with the Olsen Twins Raises Eyebrows: What’s Got Everyone Talking?”
“You know, the one about eating.”
“Yeah, you know people are going to write what they’re going to write,” Ashley said, dismissing the personal topic.
“We try not to read the good or the bad because it just comes with the territory.
“Either you’re too fat, too skinny, and people are just gonna write what they…”
“What size are you, by the way?” Oprah inquired.

During the 2004 interview, the host asked the twins about the rumors that Mary-Kate was struggling with an eating disorder
The twins lookedsurprised by the question and admitted that they didn’t know their size before Mary-Kate shared that they had always been “petite.”
In an ironic tone, the host responded, “Oh, that’s so interesting!”
Oprah has spoken at length about her weight struggles throughout her career. In December 2023, she revealed that she was onweight-loss medication, though she didn’t specify which type.
“I’m obsessed with size, and you’re like, ‘I really don’t know!’” the host told the sisters.

The former child star spent six weeks at the facility and was released in July 2004.
