Oprah Winfrey has denied reports that Kamala Harris paid her $1million as part of her $1billion campaign spending spree.

It has been alleged that the Harris campaign paid Winfrey to take part in a celebrity town-hall event and to appear at Harris’s final campaign rally in Philadelphia, on the night before election day.

Winfrey’s Harpo Productions received the sum on 15 October, after the town hall in September.

In total, the Harris campaign spent a whopping $1.2 billion compared to Donald Trump’s more modest $750 million.

The Mail Online reports: Oprah Winfrey denied being paid $1million to help Kamala Harris by hosting a star-studded town hall event for the Vice President in September. 

While walking to her car after a workout in quaint Santa Barbara, Oprah was approached by a reporter for TMZ who quizzed her on some hot topics.

‘Not true’ she said when asked about the alleged payment. ‘I was paid nothing. Ever.

The talk show legend initially made it clear she didn’t want to discuss President-elect Trump’s landslide victory: ‘I’m not talking about the election,’ she demurred.

As she climbed into her SUV, the reporter asked if she ‘thinks Prince Harry is going to lose his visa’ when Trump is president. She simply closed the door. 

On Sunday, the Washington Examiner reported how Winfrey’s Harpo Productions had received $1million from the Harris campaign on October 15 after Winfrey hosted the event.

n total, the Harris campaign spent $1.2billion on the race while Trump’s campaign spent $750 million, a Financial Times analysis found, although some believe Harris’s spending could be even higher. 

Harris also reportedly spent six figures to build out the set for her October appearance on the hit podcast ‘Call Her Daddy’, where she sat down with the show’s host Alex Cooper.

According to a report by The Washington Examiner, her campaign spent six figures alone on building out the very beige set of the podcast for her small appearance.
