Some of Kelly Clarkson<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s fans were fuming after she admitted to taking a weight loss drug<\/a> that resulted in her slimmed down figure after initially chalking it up to a healthy diet and \u201cwalking.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Kelly, 42, made the admission while talking to guest Whoopi Goldberg<\/strong> during the Monday, May 13, episode of her daytime talk show. \u201cMy doctor chased me<\/a> for, like, two years and I was like, \u2018No, I\u2019m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems.\u2019 I was afraid,\u201d she revealed. \u201cEveryone thinks it\u2019s Ozempic. It\u2019s not<\/a>. It\u2019s something else. But it\u2019s something that aids in breaking down the sugar. Obviously, my body doesn\u2019t do it right.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans took to X to call out Kelly, with several saying they suspected she had medical help with her weight loss<\/a> all along.<\/p>\n \u201cWe knew you were taking the drug. You should\u2019ve just been honest in the 1st place. Imagine how we feel about all you rich privileged movie & music stars that already have much more than the rest of us buying up the RX so we can\u2019t get it so you look good but we cant,\u201d one person seethed.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you needed to hear it from her first to know, you\u2019re a dope. Months after the weight loss is noticeable. Exercise and diet my ass. These celebrities lie, making regular people feel bad about themselves,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cI love Kelly Clarkson, but we all knew it was medication, no one can lose that amount of weight on walking + gummies yet by sticking to the story, many women believed they too could emulate the results with zero chance of success. Just tell the truth. So disappointed in her,\u201d one let-down fan posted.<\/p>\n An X user was upset about Kelly\u2019s initial claims at how she lost weight, posting, \u201cI\u2019m not mad that Kelly Clarkson lost weight. Not mad that she took a weight loss drug. I\u2019m mad that she made other women feel inadequate and like failures when \u2018walking more and eating meat\u2019 didn\u2019t work for them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThinking about when I said Kelly Clarkson was taking some kind of semaglutide \u2013 not shaming her, just pointing it out \u2013 and her stans insisted it was from just working out and eating well. They took offense and there\u2019s nothing to be ashamed about,\u201d a fan wrote, adding, \u201cI appreciate Kelly is honest!\u201d<\/p>\n However, some people understood why the \u201cStronger\u201d singer didn\u2019t come forward about using a weight loss drug.<\/p>\n \u201cOzempic backlash to female celebs has been vitriolic so I get why Kelly Clarkson wasn\u2019t quick to admit it. I\u2019ve recently lost 50+ w\/o drugs but have no problem with the shots. Happy for you! You look fabulous!!\u201d one person said of Kelly.<\/p>\n The Grammy winner previously opened up about how she shed such a noticeable amount of weight throughout 2023, crediting her show\u2019s move to New York City with walking more and eating a high-protein diet.<\/p>\n \u201cI eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I\u2019ve been listening to my doctor \u2014 a couple years I didn\u2019t. And 90 percent of the time I\u2019m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I\u2019m a Texas girl, so I like meat \u2014 sorry, vegetarians in the world!\u201d she told People<\/em><\/a> in November 2023.<\/p>\n The Emmy winner also credited her daytime talk show\u2019s move from Los Angeles to New York City for season 5 for aiding in her weight loss. \u201cWalking in the city is quite the workout,\u201d Kelly said about burning calories. Other health changes she said she made included getting \u201creally into infrared saunas,\u201d while trying out a cold plunge.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
