Lizzo had not previously expressed a desire to battle extra pounds. However, she decided to take care of herself, showing internet users the spectacular effects of her diet and intense exercise regimen. Her efforts to lose weight backfired.

Lizzo has been considered an icon of the body-positive movement. The singer has normalized the topic of excess weight through her own example, even emphasizing her Rubenesque shapes in daring styles. Unlike the often unattainable standards imposed on women by most celebrities who struggle to maintain a slim figure, the 36-year-old singer has proven that clothing size does not define a person's worth.

It seemed that the fully self-accepting American star, as one of the few, would not succumb to the pressure of dieting. Unexpectedly, she began posting the gradual effects of her visual transformation on social media. Enthusiastic comments from netizens, for the most part, affirm her decision to lose weight. Unfortunately, one comment particularly agitated the singer.

Lizzo accused of using Ozempic

The "Juice" hitmaker admitted that with the onset of spring, she started her long journey to treat obesity. The pictures and videos posted recently are primarily dedicated to her gym workouts and diet products. Lizzo also happened to show clothes that are now too large, which were perfectly fitted to her figure just a few months ago.

Some internet users were alarmed. The visible transformations of artists like Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson, who have struggled with weight fluctuations, led some to ask Lizzo if she was using Ozempic. The outraged star firmly responded to the distasteful comments, not only posting a correction but also sharing information from the profile of the critic who commented on her.

When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit, she captioned an Instagram video of herself.

Impressive?
