Footage of Oprah Winfrey asking a\u00a0then 20-year-old Cindy Crawford to show off her body on national television in 1986 has been removed from the host’s\u00a0YouTube page after the supermodel hit out at the interaction in a new documentary.<\/p>\n
Cindy, 57,\u00a0opened up about the interview in the new Apple TV+ docu-series, The Super Models, which sees Cindy and fellow ‘supers’ Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington\u00a0reflecting on their iconic fashion careers.<\/p>\n
Just hours after Cindy’s comments were published\u00a0by DailyMail.com, the video was quietly switched to private on the Oprah Winfrey Network YouTube page – despite having been available to watch for the past three years.<\/p>\n
DailyMail.com has contacted Oprah’s spokesperson for comment.<\/p>\n
The footage features Cindy’s first ever appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show alongside her Elite Modeling Agency rep,\u00a0John Casablancas.<\/p>\n
Oprah is heard introducing the stunning young model before she asks: ‘Did she always have this body? Stand up just a moment, now this is what I call a BODY.’<\/p>\n

\u00a0A clip of Oprah Winfrey asking a then 20-year-old Cindy Crawford to show off her body on national television in 1986 has been removed from the OWN YouTube page<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the snippet, featured\u00a0 in The Super Models docu-series, Oprah is heard introducing the young model before she asks: ‘Stand up just a moment, now this is what I call a BODY’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just hours after Cindy’s comments were published by DailyMail.com, the video was quietly switched to private on the Oprah Winfrey Network YouTube page<\/p>\n
Cindy proceeded to smile nervously as she stood up and allowed the audience – and viewers at home – to stare at her statuesque frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reflecting on how she felt in that moment, Cindy admitted: ‘I was like the chattel or a child, to be seen and not heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘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”.’<\/p>\n
The mom-of-two continued: ‘In the moment I didn’t recognize it and watching it back I was like, “Oh my gosh, that was so not okay really”. Especially from Oprah!’<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the clip, Oprah directed several questions towards John who spoke on Cindy’s behalf.<\/p>\n
When Oprah quizzed John about whether the agency had to put the model through a ‘training period’, he responded: ‘With Cindy, it was much more psychologically she was not sure she really wanted to model\u2026 little by little, her ambition is growing.<\/p>\n
‘She’s getting a sense, and I’m saying it now on this program, if she wants to she can be number one in the business.’<\/p>\n
John’s prediction certainly came true, but in the docu-series, Cindy highlighted just how hard she was working to make it during the early days of her career.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reflecting on how she felt in that moment, Cindy admitted: ‘I was like the chattel or a child, to be seen and not heard’\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cindy had made her first ever appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show alongside her Elite Modeling Agency rep, John Casablancas<\/p>\n
The former House of Style presenter admitted she would often ‘pass out’ from hunger during grueling shoot days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I was 20 years old, I had dropped out of college to model in Chicago and it was great. I was making $1000 a day,’ she recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The main business there was catalog. There was one main photographer, Victor Skrebneski, and he was the big fish in a little pond. Victor was definitely mentor in the fashion industry, when Victor said don’t move you didn’t move.’<\/p>\n
Cindy continued: ‘I passed out there more than once. Especially right before lunch, you pass out and you would faint. And then they would prop you back up and you would do it all over again.’<\/p>\n
The supermodel’s comments about her Oprah appearance closely echo those made by fellow star Brooke Shields who last year spoke out about her own awkward on-air encounter with Barbara Walters.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Brooke, now 58, slammed Walters for the ‘probing’ questions she asked her when she was just 15 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cindy landed her debut Vogue cover (pictured) the same year that she appeared on Oprah for the first time\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The beloved supermodel, 57, opens up about the interaction in the new Apple TV+ docu-series, The Super Models<\/p>\n
Brooke – who had just starred in\u00a0The Blue Lagoon at the time of her interview with Walters – explained: ‘She asked me what my measurements were and asked me to stand up, and I stand up and she’s like comparing herself to this little girl, and I thought, “This isn’t right. I don’t understand what this is”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But I just, I behaved and smiled and felt like so taken advantage of in so many ways.<\/p>\n
‘But over the years, you know when you’ve been in the public eye and have been commented on all the time, everybody has an opinion, and you all get to say it, and now that’s where social media I think can be dangerous. Then you learn to say no this is my truth.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cindy’s candid comments about her Oprah interview offer an intriguing glimpse into the scandals that may emerge from Apple TV+’s new four-part documentary, which charts the rise of the women who earned millions, dated movie stars and cemented their status as supermodels after that iconic music video for George Michael’s track, Freedom, in 1990.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s the first time all four of the surviving icons, Tatjana Patitz died earlier this year of breast cancer, have come together to discuss the phenomenon in depth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The candid series sees the runway icon open up about her game-changing career alongside fellow super models Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell<\/p>\n
While the Apple TV+ series basks in the exceptional beauty of the women it doesn’t shy away from\u00a0the uglier issues they faced, such as addiction, domestic abuse and racial inequality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Typically reserved\u00a0Linda Evangelista is seen in tears as she opens up about being left disfigured by a failed cosmetic procedure.<\/p>\n
The Canadian beauty also shares claims that ex-husband G\u00e9rald Marie abused her during their five-year marriage.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere,\u00a0Naomi Campbell reveals she is perimenopausal after being captured suffering a ‘hot flush’ during a photoshoot in the docu-series.<\/p>\n
The Super Models is now available to stream on Apple TV+.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
