Oprah Winfrey on Thursday night turned on the TV doctor she propelled to stardom - saying she would vote for Dr Mehmet Oz's rival John Fetterman in their battle to be elected to the Senate.
Oz, a Turkish-American surgeon, and Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, are neck-and-neck ahead of next week's election.
Winfrey turned Oz into a household name when she appeared on his show in 2003, and invited him onto hers in 2004. He would go on to make more than 60 appearances on her hugely influential daytime show.
Yet on Thursday, the 68-year-old media mogul said she could not support her former guest.
'At the beginning of the midterm campaigns, I said it was up to citizens to vote for who would represent them,' said Winfrey, addressing a virtual voting town hall.
'If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman. 'There are clear choices and some dynamic candidates who are working to represent the values that so many of us hold dear—like inclusion, compassion and community.
'So, I ask that voters use discernment and choose wisely for the democracy of our country.'
Fetterman was overjoyed at the news, tweeting in response a heart emoji and saying: 'WELCOME TO #TEAMFETTERMAN, @Oprah!!'
Winfrey's support of Democrats is not a surprise, but her disavowal of Oz will have stung.
The pair first met almost 20 years ago, in 2003, when Oz and his wife Lisa created a medical series called Second Opinion with Dr Oz for the Discovery Channel.

“Two contradictory statements standing side-by-side!”
Much like Biden’s speech when he said that to save democracy he decreed that everyone MUST vote for RATs.
Apparently, on his Word Of The Day calendar the word, “Democracy”, never showed up.
Darn, now that Oprah has endorsed Fetterman, I wish I could get back the money I donated to Oz.
That will put him over the top.
Whoaprah Yinfree?
You mean the millionairess who is a pedophile enabler?
Grooming scores of African children for service to the Democratic elites?
Who would want an endorsement from that thing?
“The Support for Fetterman ... defies all logic.”
All it will do is negatively impact her own brand and credibility. He’s glaringly retarded. Hooking up with his campaign can’t help her.

Who could resist a candidate endorsed by a member of the “Good Club”?
Nothing says inclusion, compassion and community like releasing violent felons into your neighborhood. YOUR neighborhood, not Oprah’s of course.
I think folks who watch Tucker are more inclined to vote than Oprah’s audience.
Just don’t look at her when she’s shopping.
Didn’t she admit years ago that she deliberately hired white people as payback for slavery?
No way OW is going to take a position different from her political boss obozo ... BHO is pulling the strings on the wooden puppet Xiden.
Oprah’s OWN network, 195,000 average viewers.
There was a time when that fat, nasty bitch could move the needle of an election but that time has passed.
Very few people care who oprah endorses and even fewer care about festerman.
Oprah, I hope you find God’s Truth and live it, instead of following the evil world of the democrat party. Remember the rich man, Luke 16:13-31
One chooses Hell by rejecting God and His Truth.
Opies a racist bigot so who the hell cares who she votes for?
Well, the Orca supported the “None” in 2008 and 2012. If she supported a dolt then, why not now?
I was waiting to see who Orca Windbag would endorse.
Oprah is a dishonorable lowlife, so of course.
oprah is a White-hating radical marxist and feminist. Her opinions are worth nothing.
