Oprah Winfrey has removed a 1986 video clip from YouTube which shows her asking a then-20-year-old Cindy Crawford to show off her body on national television. This comes after the supermodel slammed the TV host for the interaction in a recent documentary, reports the Daily Mail.
The 57-year-old catwalk star opened up about her early days in the modelling industry for Apple TV+ series The Super Models, looking back on her experience as a 20-year-old model appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1986 alongside her Elite Modelling Agency representative John Casablancas.

In a clip from the show, Winfrey is seen asking Casablancas: “‘Did she always have this body?’, before telling the young model, ‘Stand up just a moment - now this is what I call a body’.”
Speaking in The Super Models, Crawford said of the experience: “I was like the chattel or a child, be seen and not heard. When you look at it through today’s eyes, Oprah’s like: ‘Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you’re worthy of being here.’
