Christina Aguilera Slams Criticisms About Her Body After Ozempic Rumors
HuffPost
The pop star's slimmer appearance sparked speculation on social media that she's taking weight loss drugs.
Christina Aguilera says that nowadays, comments on the internet about her body are something she simply brushes off.
In a cover story for Glamour, the “Genie in a Bottle” singer, 43, got candid about facing intense scrutiny over her appearance from the media since the 2000s, and how she’s grown not to care about what people think of her.
“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a fuck about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on,” Aguilera said in the story, published Thursday. “It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”
In May, Aguilera’s weight loss sparked rumors on social media that she was taking Ozempic, a diabetes treatment that controls blood sugar levels. Some people use Ozempic as an off-label weight-loss drug. Actor Rebel Wilson and TV personality Sharon Osbourne, among others, have acknowledged using Ozempic to lose weight despite a public stigma attached to it.
Some social media users speculated about Aguilera’s seemingly thinner appearance on a viral TikTok video posted on May 19. One commenter wrote: “Dang, she looks amazing! Wish I could be on Ozempic like everyone else, too, but afraid of the side effects.”
