From the New York Post:

A spokesperson for Winfrey told Page Six that the billionaire “is recovering following a stomach flu and received an IV due to dehydration at the recommendation of her doctor.”

“She is resting and feeling better every day,” the statement concluded.

Winfrey had planned to introduce author David Wroblewski and his book, “Familiaris,” which is the latest pick for her book club.

“I wanted to make it clear that [the book] matters to her and it really bothered her that she couldn’t be here today. She so, so loved this book,” King said on Tuesday.

“She will be okay. I hope she's not mad at me for sharing that detail,” King continued, according to PEOPLE. 

“But I wanted to make it clear, though, that it mattered to her and that it really bothered her that she couldn't be here for you today,” she added.
