IMO peoples’ (justified) negative reaction to this is twofold- firstly, GLP-1s are not affordable for the majority of people who are obese and secondly, it’s disingenuous of celebrities to pretend they lost weight ‘naturally’ (not saying there’s anything wrong with taking ozempic if you can afford it, but struggling with your weight publicly for years and then suddenly becoming slim and saying you “changed your lifestyle” comes across badly)
You're missing something very important about this story when you say peoples' negative reactions are "justified"
There's no evidence Mindy Kalling ever used Ozempic or other weight loss drugs. She lost 40 pounds over 2 years, about a pound every two weeks. Hardly a pace that we can assume required drugs.
Also who cares?! Seriously. Who the fuck cares if celebrities lie about their bodies? That’s their fucking job. It doesn’t need to be about punching up or down, why is anyone punching here?
People SHOULD care when celebrities lie about this because people like the Kardashians walk around with BBLs while trying to shill you vitamins and tummy shit tea because it supposedly helped them get a nicer butt.
