Actress Jameela Jamil has spoken out against the recent trend of taking Ozempic to achieve a slim physique in Hollywood, calling it a “modern version of heroin chic.” The 38-year-old actress shared her concerns on Instagram, expressing frustration at seeing colleagues prioritize weight loss over their physical and mental wellbeing.
Jamil highlighted the dangers of disordered eating and dieting, citing her own struggles with anorexia and body dysmorphia as a teenager. She emphasized that she would never compromise her brain, heart, bone density, or metabolism for a trend, saying “I plan on sitting out this cycle.”
The actress also shared a poignant message from her past, posting pictures of herself at the height of her eating disorder, including one where she was unwrapping chocolate and another in a bathing suit. She expressed hope that her strength would carry her through the current trend, saying “May I have the strength to keep up this good work I did on my brain throughout 2025.”
Jamil’s warnings come as the “Ozempic heroin chic” trend gains momentum, with some celebrities taking to social media to share their own experiences with weight loss pills. The actress has been an outspoken advocate for body positivity and eating disorder awareness, using her platform to raise awareness about the dangers of disordered eating.
