It’s kinda weird…
I don’t think I fully understood the extent of who he was, or at least who he is now, before he started running for Senate.
When I went on the show, it was an episode about sexual assault. He seemed reasonably informed and empathetic. He had pictures of him with many democrats in the dressing rooms and the halls – including Michelle Obama!
I met a number of people who worked on the shows who were democrats.
I never knew him to be this super red, gun-loving, science-hating dude.
I mean, I did know some people thought of him as a bit of a charlatan. And I didn’t think all of his weight loss tips and tricks probably worked. But I didn’t imagine that to be that harmful. Lots of people give meh weight loss advice.
Also, I mainly did stuff for “OzTube,” which meant I was just editing yoga videos and stuff, and that’s simple enough. That didn’t seem too harmful.
So, it’s really interesting how people can ultimately seem to be far more harmful than you initially realized.
And I don’t know if that means they just were more harmful to begin with, and hid it. Or if I’m a little pollyanna. Or if people change. Or if it’s mixes of all those things. Who knows!
But yeah, I was unaware of the full extent of everything while working for an arm of the Dr. Oz show [and while being taped as a guest!] And that’s why I did those things.
I’m surprised to see how he’s acting now. And obviously, just because I worked there, I, in no way, endorse his Senate campaign.
