The pressure on celebrities about their looks is nothing new and neither are medical methods to improve them. But the popularity of Ozempic and the rapid, dramatic results it creates has fueled a debate over a kind of reverse body-shaming — did she or didn’t she Ozempic? — and some are pushing back.
“The pressure [to be thin] for women in media is much different than [for] men in media,” Padma Lakshmi said in 2023 at the Time100 Gala. “We have to look good, we have to sound good, we have to be strong but not too strong, we have to be vulnerable but not too weak. It can feel like a really dichotomous, tall order.”

I don’t know much about it admittedly but isn’t there a shortage of ozempic? and isn’t it like a necessary medication for diabetics? Idk I wish celebs and others who don’t need it would be shamed enough to not contribute to the shortage (or any potential shortages, if there isn’t one currently).
