Winfrey, 66, revealed at the time on Instagram live with her Oprah Magazine: “Stedman is at the guest house. You all know I had pneumonia late last year, and you can still hear the raspiness in my throat sometimes.
“And I just got off antibiotics last week, and so Stedman was late to the party. Stedman didn’t arrive from Chicago until Thursday and he was speaking in St. Louis on Saturday and he’s been on planes.”
She had insisted it was important to take action before he returned home from his trip.
She said: “[He] was like, ‘What’s the procedure for coming home?’ And I was like, ‘You ain’t coming in here and sleeping in my bed. It doesn’t work that way… Social distancing doesn’t mean you can go sleep in a bed with someone after you got off American Airlines.’ We can not play those games.”
