“Haven’t been feeling good” - Hollywood star Bella Thorne blames weight loss drug for promoting unrealistic body standards
Hollywood actress and singer Bella Thorne has always been a fitness icon for her fans around the globe. She is back in the headlines with her latest and boldest statement on Ozempic, a weight-loss drug commonly used by many internet personalities.
Ozempic is also becoming a trend in Hollywood, and Bella Thorne broke her silence on the topic with a series of stories on her Instagram account on July 20. E! News collected the stories and reshared them.
The singer wrote:
"So I haven't been feeling good about my body for a while, and especially with everybody on Ozempic." She added, "It’s setting all these crazy beauty standards that nobody can keep up with unless you’re on Ozempic, and I have swam every day and I have sweat out everything possible and I have walked everywhere! I’m finally feeling good about myself. Finally feeling good."
Bella Thorne was not done expressing her anger about the weight-loss drug. She continued and posted a recent photo of her in a blue bikini, flashing her middle finger, and wrote:
"So Ozempic you can—off."
Bella Thorne has always been candid about drug usage in the beauty industry and frequently shares her views on type 2 diabetes drugs like Ozempic, setting unrealistic standards for others to follow. The Hollywood actress also shared some stories in February about how the use of these drugs can have a huge impact on others who deny using them.
"It's important to make these videos because when we go on social media, we see all this happiness, amazing looks, hair, makeup, and everything. Even making this list is making me more depressed. But I guess what I'm trying to say is it's okay to be depressed," shared Bella Thorne.
The 26-year-old concluded with an eye-opening thought for her fans. She wrote:
"Life isn't always perfect- In fact most of the time it's not and I guess that's okay too."
Bella Thorne advised her fans to stay away from the scale
Two years ago, the singer tweeted on her X account about her struggles to follow the standards and encouraged her fans to feel better about the way they look.
"Almost every day I have been to the gym in the last 6 weeks. Turns out I only lost one pound of fat and gained one pound of muscle.. throw away your scales ladies because they don’t mean sh*t. As long as YOU feel better and u like the way u look that’s all that matters," stated Bella.
Bella Thorne has been on a fitness journey for a long time, and she always tries to give her fans the best possible advice while calling out the unrealistic standards set by the beauty industry.
