Oprah Winfrey is facing a backlash online after an old clip resurfaced of her interview with the then-17-year-old Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
In the 2004 interview, chat show legend Oprah - who's set to interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - brought up rumours circulating at the time that Mary-Kate was struggling with an eating disorder.
Later that year, she checked herself into rehab for an eating disorder.
When Oprah brought it up, Mary-Kate and Ashley handled it calmly, expressing regret that "people are going to write what they're going to write", and revealing they don't "read the good or the bad."
"Either you're too fat, too skinny and people are just gonna write what they -"
Oprah then interjects: "What size are you, by the way?"
Both girls are taken aback by the question, Ashley asking: "Size?"
Mary-Kate explains that they've always been "petite", later adding: "If we were obsessed with our size it'd be, I don't know, a different story."
The old clip has circulated widely on social media, with many reckoning it an "uncomfortable" watch.
"I know we're living in different times," one wrote, "but how did they think that was okay!?! [Because] they're young?"
Another commended the twins for remaining so calm in the face of Oprah's question, accusing the latter of "disrespecting and trying to trigger" them.
"Was Oprah ever called out for this?" a third queried.
The Mirror has reached out to Oprah and Mary-Kate and Ashley's reps for comment.
Oprah's interview with Harry and Meghan has landed a primetime slot on March 7 in the US, and will no doubt be watched by millions around the world.
The 90-minute special will be shown on CBS in the States, with it rumoured that Brits will be able to tune in on ITV after the broadcaster won a bidding war.
