In a candid discussion with Whoopi Goldberg, Kelly Clarkson has addressed the rumors surrounding her significant weight loss. The singer and talk show host, who has recently been the subject of speculation due to her transformed appearance, clarified that her journey did not involve the widely-discussed drug Ozempic.
Clarkson, 42, has been in the public eye for her changing physique, leading many to believe she might have used Ozempic, a medication initially developed for diabetes that contains the active ingredient semaglutide, now also employed in obesity treatments. However, Clarkson has put these rumors to rest, stating that while she did seek pharmaceutical aid for weight loss, it was not Ozempic but a different, unspecified medication prescribed by her doctor.
The revelation came during a conversation on Monday with Goldberg, who has also shared her own weight loss experiences. Clarkson explained that her treatment was necessary due to her body’s inability to properly process sugar, a condition uncovered through a blood test. Despite initial reservations stemming from her thyroid issues, Clarkson eventually heeded her physician’s advice after persistent recommendation.
Goldberg, 68, has similarly made headlines for her weight loss, having used the weight loss drug Mounjaro during the filming of the movie “Till” in 2021. Her openness about her weight, which once reached 300lbs, and her decision to turn to medication has added to the ongoing conversation about weight loss treatments in the public sphere.
As the debate around the use of drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro continues, both celebrities’ stories highlight the complexities of weight loss and the personal nature of choosing a path to better health.
