Washington DC [US], March 15 (ANI): Oprah Winfrey recently responded to online trolls after some people mocked her for walking like a '90-year-old' at Paris Fashion Week.

The 72-year-old television host attended the Paris Fashion Week earlier this month along with her longtime friend Gayle King.

A video shared online showed Winfrey smiling while taking slow steps, with King walking behind her. The clip later sparked several comments on social media.

According to PEOPLE, speaking about the moment during a recent appearance, Winfrey said she noticed the jokes and comments online about the way she and King were walking.

While talking about the online reactions, Winfrey said people mocked the pair and compared their walk to that of very elderly people.

'On the internet, somebody was... you know how people drag you on the internet. So they were dragging me and Gayle saying, 'Look at them walking like they're 90 years old,' ' Winfrey said during a recent appearance, per a clip shared on Instagram by user @jznotthatjayz on Thursday, March 12, PEOPLE shared.

Winfrey then shared the real reason behind the moment. She said her stylist had handed her sunglasses just before she stepped out of the car for the show, but the glasses were not her regular prescription pair.

'And so there was a moment where we're walking into the Chloe fashion show, and my stylist had just handed me the Chloe sunglasses before I got out of the car,' she said. 'Now, I wear glasses or I wear contacts. So those were not prescription glasses.'

She added that the reason she was walking slowly was because she could not clearly see where she was going.

'So I didn't know where I was walking,' she said with a laugh. 'I could not see!'
