As she told the publication, “When I started losing weight, I got the same thing. I was fat-shamed every day when I was bigger, and then when I lost weight, people were like, ‘How dare you, you are so insecure, you’re following society.’ And I’m like, ‘OK, you guys are so confusing!’ ”

She’s been devoted to fitness “for 10-plus years now, and I love it. Over the past three years, people are like, ‘You must have gotten surgery because you just lost weight.’ I’m like, ‘It’s been a 10-year journey! What are you talking about?’ "

“But even if people get surgery or [get on] theOzempiccraze, I’m like, ‘Who cares!’ As long as people feel good about themselves, who am I to judge? I think it’s ridiculous, the judgment on that," she toldBustle— and then quipped, “I’mjust mad[Ozempic] wasn’t around 10 years ago.”
