Actor and activist Jameela Jamil has spoken out against the “hard-to-watch” trend of celebrities taking Ozempic to lose weight, saying it’s a sign of body shame. Jamil, 38, has been open about her own struggles with eating disorders and has called on others to rethink their approach to weight loss.
In a recent Instagram post, Jamil shared photos and videos from her past struggles with anorexia, including a picture of herself looking gaunt and another showing her enjoying a slice of pizza. She wrote that she would rather leave the industry than continue to perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards.
Jamil’s comments come as part of a broader conversation about the resurgence of “heroin chic,” a beauty trend from the 1990s characterized by ultra-skinny models. However, Jamil argues that this trend is not just a nostalgic revival but a new form of body shame that’s being perpetuated by celebrities using Ozempic.
The actress and activist has long been an advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance, and her latest comments reflect her commitment to challenging the unrealistic beauty standards that have shaped the entertainment industry.
