"The Bachelor" Season 28 viewers were not happy over the schedule change for the "Women Tell All" episode.

Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, Monday to express their anger over the reality dating show getting pushed back by an hour as Oprah Winfrey's new special, "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution," took over its time slot.

Instead of airing at its usual schedule of 8 p.m. EDT on Monday, "The Bachelor" Season 28's highly anticipated "The Women Tell All" episode aired at 9 p.m. EDT instead, causing several viewers to slam what some described as Winfrey's "infomercial for Ozempic."

"They could have made the ['Women Tell All'] 3 hours long if they hadn't decided a stupid Oprah [O]zempic special was more important," one fan wrote.

"The[y] moved it back an hour for... Oprah??? #TheBachelor," a second user tweeted.

Another complained, "I was excited to turn on ['The Bachelor'] but instead Oprah is on my TV giving an infomercial for Ozempic ... who asked for this !?!?"

"Please tell me why Oprah takes precedent [sic] over Maria," another fan wrote, referring to popular "Bachelor" contestant Maria Georgas.

Winfrey announced "An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution" earlier this month.

At the time, multiple outlets, including Variety, reported that the hour-long special was set to air on March 18 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.

In the special, the media mogul spoke to medical experts and patients about weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro.

Winfrey said the special was "created for the more than 100 million people in the United States and the over 100 billion people around the world who are living with obesity," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I come to this conversation in the hope that we can start releasing the stigma and the shame and the judgment," she said on the program. "To stop shaming other people for being overweight or how they choose to lose or not lose weight and, more importantly, to stop shaming ourselves."

Winfrey announced the special just days after she shared at the end of February that she planned to leave the board of WeightWatchers following her revelation that she used a weight loss drug.

She has a long history with WeightWatchers, having bought a 10% stake in the company and served on its board since 2015.

In December last year, Winfrey confessed to taking a weight loss medication during an interview with People, though she did not specify which one.

She explained that she was taking the drug to maintain the weight she'd lost over the years, describing it as "a gift."

"I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself," Winfrey told the outlet.

Those who missed "An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution" can still watch it on Hulu, where it streams starting Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the finale of "The Bachelor" Season 28 will air on March 25 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
