I’ve been sitting with a low-level but steady sadness and anger in recent months as it’s become clear how pervasive the use of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs have become among celebrities.
Thank you for sharing this (I came from fat hell, which I realize now sounds like a banger of a title for a personal essay). I’ve distanced myself a bit from traditional media like Hollywood over the years, even distanced myself somewhat from social media influencers too, so my confusing feelings about this issue stem from people I know using GLP-1s and sharing their experiences. It’s tempting to reach for the apple of a seemingly easy fix to an emotionally painful problem. But at what cost? And also— I don’t want my face to look like that 🙊
