Actress/author Rebel Wilson got her big break as “Fat Amy” in the film “Pitch Perfect” – from that moment on, her body and being a self-described “proud fat female” became a huge part of her public persona. So much so that when she decided to lose weight for her health, her now former agent said her “career would be over” if she did. In Rebel’s first-ever sit-down with Oprah, as part of the “Making the Shift” special, the pair discusses the complexities behind Rebel’s decision to lose weight, her new book “Rebel Rising,” the “emotional war” she had to fight within herself, and how she’s doing now - a few years later.

“Making the Shift,” which aired on May 9 to a live studio audience, unpacks the multifaceted, preconceived notions we have about weight, from the profound impact diet culture has had on our society to how we can reframe harmful narratives surrounding our weight and our bodies. The conversation – featuring Rebel Wilson, Busy Philipps, Amber Riley, and many others – brought together individuals, communities and medical experts to bridge the science of “weight” with a new outlook that brings the health and wellbeing of our bodies into focus.
