Actress Jameela Jamil has sparked a heated debate in Hollywood by criticizing the use of weight loss drug Ozempic among celebrities. In her latest Instagram post, she expressed concern over the trend of using the medication to achieve an “obedient waif physique” that aligns with unrealistic beauty standards.
Jamil, who has spoken publicly about her own struggles with eating disorders, warned that this pressure can be damaging for young people and those struggling with body image issues. She vowed not to participate in this trend and instead celebrated her natural curves, saying “Curves will come back. They always do.”
The actress also shared personal photos, including one where she opened up about her own anorexia struggles, in an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of using Ozempic as a means to achieve an unattainable body ideal. She urged industry peers and society at large to consider the long-term effects of this trend on mental health and well-being.
Ozempic, manufactured by Novo Nordisk, is a medication that can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes. However, its use among celebrities has raised concerns about promoting unhealthy beauty standards.
