Oprah Winfrey's Covid rules are so strict that even her best friend wasn't allowed into the party she was throwing for her newborn grandson.
The mega star is known for putting on incredible lavish bashes - but if you don't tick all of her Covid boxes, then you aren't getting in.
The American makes no apologies for demanding every visitor passes her strict coronavirus checklist as cases continue to soar across the States.
The 67-year-old hosted a welcoming party for Gayle King's cute new arrival Luca on December 23.
But if you wanted to join the Lion King themed get-together, you also had to have quarantined and been tested.
But if you haven't had both vaccines and a booster, then you may as well have stayed at home.
That included author and broadcast journalist Gayle, of course.
It is unclear what she fell short on, but she suggested she hadn't received her test results back in time - so had to miss out until day two.
Writing on Instagram the following day, Gayle said: "Followed all the protocols...test results in! So [I'm] cleared to join the group…so happy!"
Billionaire Oprah confirmed her demands to keep Covid at bay.
"Everyone who is spending Christmas at my house has to be vaccinated, boosted, tested, and quarantined," she wrote.
"Stedman [Graham] calls it "The Policy" cause I'm that serious about it.
"This was release day for our bubble and we knew we had to throw a welcome celebration for Baby Luca, who none of us had met yet!'"
The New York Daily News claim the reporter's busy schedule with CBS didn't allow the news anchor enough time to quarantine.
Her daughter Kirby Bumpus and partner Virgil Miller were married at Oprah's house in 2020.
Gayle made sure she didn't miss any more of the party than she had to.
Arriving wearing some very festive green pajamas, Oprah had made sure her chef had monkey bread a the ready - her best friend's favourite.
"This is a thing of beauty. I love, love, love monkey bread. Thank you," she said in a video.
"You've been waiting to see me...I've been waiting to see you!" Gayle later told her grandson.
