If she gains weight, ppl bully her. If she loses weight, ppl bully her. Let her be.

Why can't people just leave other people alone?

My Medicaid covers Wegovy. I have a BMI of 43 and have been seeing a Bariatric Center for almost a year. They were just able to get the medication in stock and have me approved to be on it because I am considered obese, have high blood pressure and am at risk for other heart problems. So far, I have only had 2 injections and have lost 10 lbs. However, I radically changed my lifestyle the same week. I committed to it. I joined a mental health program, quit smoking marijuana, started eating clean, smaller portions and started going to the gym at least 3 days a week. I am SO grateful for this medication. I know I've only been on it less than 2 weeks but I feel so much more hope. I'm only 31 and felt so lost in life with no job, no friends and no family. I want my life back. This is the start of that.

IT’S YOUR BODY. Do what you want.

How can anyone ever hate Kelly Clarkson?

people are mad about celebs and ozempic, cuz there's a wealth disparity of people who can afford ozempic.

She really didn’t owe anyone an explanation at all. Let alone “full disclosure.”🙄

I’ve been heavy my whole life. Leave Kelly alone she’s gorgeous.

Nobody is entitled to your medical information. However, let's all have an open conversation about weight and how it isn't just about calories in calories out.

The hypocrisy about this topic is ridiculous. Whoopi laid it out very well

One hundred percent agree with Sara! I just thought, why isn't she telling the truth? Someone whose obviously had trouble for many, many years with weight problems all of a sudden slims down practically overnight. It makes others feel, why can't I do that? I really like Kelly Clarkson by the way, and her refusal to tell the truth (until being prodded) really disappointed me.

She originally did say she lost weight by only eating better and exercising. We felt betrayed because she was saying this is possible if you have the willpower. Instead of lying don't say anything at all.

Walking is such an underrated exercise which I can say I've experienced personally. It does work.

There is always people who want to judge others. Those people need to fix their own problems!

The issue is not that she used a medication that assisted in her weightloss, and known to help with weight loss. The issue is she flat out DENIED using any medication that assisted in her weight loss. She said "I've just changed my eating habits". Bull S. She thinks we're stupid.

I completely understand why people would be upset. When Kelly lost all this weight, she gave credit to watching what she was eating and working out. There was no mention about a weight loss drug and this was over 2 months ago. Why lie about it/ hide it? You're going to get criticized anyways because you're in the public, so just be honest from the beginning!

The reason she gets backlash over her weight loss is because she lied initially about how she did it. She said she took acv gummies and people spend $300 plus on these shark tank gummies each month, that she promotes. Is THAT fair???? NO

Whoopi you’re looking good

Everyone is entitled to health information privacy! KC owes no one an explanation!

Im 62 and i just started exercising 9 months ago. I have depression and anxiety. I'm still the same weight but its more muscle now. There im bigger and stronger than most people my age. But im homeless and poor. I don't begrudge anyone who gets bigger and stronger than me because of steroids. Too bad it's not the same for women. I can't believe or understand why anyone would get on kelly, even if she didn't tell everyone she got help from injections and said it was natural. You can't blame someone's mental health on someone else. As woopy said, no one knows the hardship of someone else's life, even if people look up to them. Just my opinion. Oh and people see me smile all the time and workout hard. People don't know that the pain in my depression and low self esteem, is why I smile all the time and workout so hard. Lifting 400lbs is nothing compared to trying to lift myself out the door every day.

It is no one's business how anyone is handling their own physical circumstances.

I’m getting semiglutide from a compound pharmacy….. 295 month….. I love it! I feel like a normal person now! Not hungry all the time, craves rarely. Let people do their own thing.

I am super happy for everyone that gets access to the medications. It really sucks fot the ones that desperately need it but can't afford it and don't get access to it. :(

Kelly stating that she has thyroid issues.It affects your metabolism greatly.And that explains why her weight is always gone up-and-down as long as she's happy.Like who cares what these people think?Having an issue with your thyroid is actually kind of serious

Woopie had no problem telling th3 teuth no one is going after her.

They chose not to touch how previous cast member Starr Jones insisted her extreme weight loss was from vigorous dieting and exercise but the truth came out that she had the ‘gastric bypass’ surgery or whatever it was called. There wouldn’t have been so much verbal backlash if she was honest about it to start imho

This topic is very sensitive to me. My problem with this is people who are otherwise healthy and taking these medications to look better, while people like myself who is diabetic with a host of other illnesses can't get the drug because there's a shortage. I really have an issue with this. The folks who the medications are meant for can't get it because of unavailability or cost.

It’s the lying

Well, my doctor just put me on Ozempic yesterday. I am very overweight and have been. She didn't put me on it for my weight, she put me on it because it stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin. I am type 2 diabetes and have for the past several years been on two different insulins simultaneously and one of which is the max dose twice daily. The other is not max dose, but is a very high dose 3 to 4 times daily. She put me on the Ozempic so that I can back off on the amount of insulin I have to take. If I lose weight on it, well that is just a side benefit.

Just don't lie about it.

No one should get backlash but should TELL THE TRUTH about what they are doing and not act like they are putting in the work at the gym.

Kelly never lied. She has said she's more active in NYC, and ONE of the things she loves to do is walk around the city, among other things. She also mentions that she's been working closely and listening to her doctor, which, let's be real, implies medication. REGULATED medication. Most medications work best accompanied by diet/exercise changes. Kelly has battled health issues since she was in her 20's, and has been open about this. But she has always been very careful not to "endorse" any of her treatments or "lifestyle" choices, precisely because she knows EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and shouldn't feel like there's one-size fix all solution. Edit: Also, people are dumb if they think the takeaway from that conversation was that she took meds for weight loss. That's not what she said. They are talking about health struggles and what that did to their weight. Kelly said, she takes something to help break down sugar in her body because her body doesn't do it properly. That's clearly insulin resistance, which, given her issues with her thyroid it makes sense. Whoopi and Kelly aren't glam bots trying to fit into a size 0, they are managing their health and that is no one's business at any level, even though both have disclosed at least that much.

People are upset because she was LYING about it pretending like walking in New York City was doing all this which is a joke.... The lack of transparency and the absolute lying is why she's facing the backlash....

The problem is I’m diabetic and I can’t get it because the company is only gives to the higher bidder.

live and let live. Kelly is AWESOME

Everybody has a right to the privacy of their medical records! Nobody is owed an explanation by KC!

Leave people alone.

I mean come on, we already knew Kelly took the shot! She lost weight so fast, it was obvious! We all knew.

i am laughing so hard at the audience's response to Sunny's "viagra" question 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I enjoy The View and watch it every day. Today, talking about Ozempic, it is nice to hear that people have lost weight. There is another side though in that I had been taking Ozempic for two years for diabetes. I was not able to get it for three months last Fall because of the shortage due to people using it to lose weight. My sugars went from the 6's to 15's which is so dangerous.

Kelly got skinny practically overnight. She'd have to walk from NY to LA and back to lose weight that fast. 💉

Once again. . . Sara dropping knowledge!

I love Kelly! She is incredible in all ways. GO KELLY!

You don't have to be open about anything. This is personal business. No one has to tell anyone anything about their medical/health journey.

Excess weight can lead to serious health issues. Anyone who takes the steps to better their health even if it requires medication like these weight loss injections is simply trying to better their quality of life. Nothing wrong with that. Health is wealth.

In the United States, we're grappling with an obesity epidemic driven by the prevalence of highly processed non-food items that pose significant health risks. This stands in stark contrast to many other affluent nations where individuals prioritize whole, nourishing foods that the body can effectively metabolize and utilize for optimal health.

Kelly had health problems. Her doctor wanted her to use it. Leave her alone. She doesn’t owe anyone an explanation regarding her health struggles.

Whoopi said it, let people share things when they feel like it and stop bullying or pressuring people to share when they don’t won’t to

Thank you Whoopi! AMEN!!!

Started Keto the month before my 55th B-day and my period stopped that same month too. Thankfully it did not restart. Lost 30 lbs over the next several months. I also have MS so really no exercise. I've also done many things over the years. My heaviest was 90 lbs more. We all can have many different health issues. I don't think anyone is a lazy glutton. We all can do our best with what we have.

I too take the shot! Proud of it! Menopause has kicked my butt! Put on weight and hard to lose weight. ❤❤

Sunny had no business taking Ozempic. She did it for vanity.

Isn’t it just the best?! Trashing someone. In the hopes you’ll feel better about yourself. Except it never works: People keep doing it… because they never feel better. 🙄

I don’t care that she’s taking the medication but telling someone that is also trying to lose weight it was just walking is dishonest and honestly it’s sad just be open and transparent

Kelly you go girl!!! Good for you!!

You know, Kelly has a song called "You can't win" for a reason, you all should listen to it.

Bottom line is that it helps you not to eat so much.

Sara Haines with the truth bomb! ✨️

People don’t need to divulge anything that relates to their bodies or their health. It doesn’t matter what they are taking.

I am morbidly obese. I don't have diabetes. I don't have bad cholesterol. I don't have hypertension. I do have MS and no thyroid. These will not go away if I am not obese. Will I feel better? 100% and leave Kelly alone. We need to stand together and stop shaming ppl

Why can't some celebs just be upfront about weight loss? Then again, why do celebs have to reveal everything about their lives?

I know someone that had WLS and I was told ..........don't tell anyone I had it. I said what do you mean? What are you going to say when people start asking you how did you lose the weight. She said I'll just say I changed my diet ........... I was shocked. THEN I realized that hmmmm she got that information on a message board where others had said the same thing. This was a couple of years ago. Ant THAT"S when I realized that people were out here just not telling the truth about their weight loss.

I come from a well known family & struggled with bulimia & annorexia for over 20 years. It’s hard being in the public eye. I am now dealing with my insides literally rotting. My gallbladder, liver & pancreas are all failing. I praise whoever can get meds to help.

No one owes anyone an explanation about their health. You don't have to be open to anyone. Take care of yourself. By any means necessary.

I think people are criticizing the fact that she never mentionned it before..she said she was walking and doing other things... But I agree its her life her Journey ❤❤❤

Just M.Y.O.B.!

…why is obesity more rampant in the USA compared to other countries? Maybe the majority of Americans need to eat less and be more health conscious in what they eat.

"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom." Bill Hicks

As someone who has been misdiagnosed with type 2 twice and now has the right diagnosis and medication. I was on a medication called Gliclazide, which doesn't let sugar come into the bloodstream, I was on it for a time and it did make me lose weight, worryingly I didn't have that much weight to lose, which led me to have the correct diagnosis, which was LADA. To make the medication work, you have to exercise, so when someone is taking a medication that makes anyone lose weight, you can't just lose weight on medication.

She is getting criticized because she lied about not taking any shots. She needs to just tell the truth.Stop gaslighting.

Kelly always looked to me like someone with a low thyroid. Whenever mine gets too low it shows in my neck. A goitre appearance. Having a low thyroid does make it even harder to lose weight. Good luck and well done to Kelly.

I think it’s the “it’s not Ozempic” part.. like cmon girl, it might not be that particular brand but if you know it’s an injectable, please do not front. If you do want to gatekeep, do it with it ALL, like the walking, the doctor’s visit, the whole thing. Keep it to yourself. It’s the kinda low key lying about an important topic where influence can impact those with ED, or those who like her, are prediabetic. It’s the lying, not the method or the result.

I use it in the pill form I was 230 now iam 209 I lost 21 pound in 2month and I am 56

Kelly clarkson has a song “you can’t win” she knows how people are

I’m gonna be surprised if there’s people out there that have a reason to continue bullying Kelly about the whole weight loss thing 😒 I’d say they’re the equivalent of a Karen

I disagree with Sara. This woman owes NOBODY an explanation. If you can’t lose weight, that’s on you…it’s not her job to walk and talk anyone through a weight loss program, or to sell you on a diet medication- she’s not your baby sitter. My god, we think we own these celebrities. It’s pathetic.

The issue is if you are going to put out information... Put out all the information. If you are asked, dont just say walking when you are also using a drug. And if you dont want to answer, don't answer. Weight lost is hard for most people, so lets all just be transparent when we can.

Yes Sara agree!

“Who they ate for dinner” Oda Mae Brown jumped out 😭😭😭

Agree with Sarah 100%. When you omit you had "help", it's misleading and makes others feel like such failures because they can't lose weight.

People need to learn to mind their own business!

I am not a fan of Oprah. But AT LEAST SHE is honest about her wieght loss. She wants to help those of us that have fought the same battle. I think Kelly needs to do the same. Not a issue of privacy. I have been on Ozempic for a while, because I am diabetic. Not a picnic A LOT of gastric issues For a while I had to "wait" because of nondiabetics...THAT is when I had an issue. Same thing happened with Phen Fen. Sorry, so long.

Kelly Clarkson is a fantastic singer and great person.

Honesty is the best policy

You are missing the point. People are mad because she lied not that she is taking those meds.

It's her business 👍🏾

“Wait until you hit menopause, all bets are off!” Amen!

I just turned 50 and last summer I went from 160 to 126lbs. No diet and just walking 15 minutes a day. So im not trying to lose weight but I'm not complaining.

If you're taking the shot and you're telling people that you have lost weight doing something else like working out, you're lying and you're deceiving people.

I agree with Sarah, why lie about it? Because they want their friends to think they worked so hard to lose the weight. They want to be hero's instead of just someone who took the easy way out, which is ok. Sunny, go somewhere and eat a carb.

Diets work if you make permanent changes. Ozempic is not a diet. If you don't make permanent changes you'll gain the weight back as well.

@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="232">3:52</a> Joy makes a lot of sense. Not shaming anyone but do the work yourself first.

She never really lied about it, and its her business, she never claimed it was a miracle or she did it any other way...and even if she has used it, she was using it correctly and was likely diabetic or at risk.

knew that she took the drugs she didn't fool anyone

I haven't seen people mad over her saying she lost it through exercise. I've seen people mad because they saw her advertising weight loss gummies. They don't realize the ad was fake/ai generated. That wasn't Kelly's fault.

Ladies, thank you for this. The world needs to hear this. My favourite key point: not asking a man about his little blue pill. Spot on! 👏🏻 ❤ Cheers not jeers. ❤

LET MY QUEEN KELLY CLARKSON ALONE !!!! GREETINGS FROM INDONESIA

because she lied and tried to use fake success

I love Kelly and feel bad that no matter what she does people will make comments about her. If her doctor says she needs to take the medicine then she needs it. It really is not any of our business and we need to show kindness and not make huge issues about weight gain loss especially when they are in the spot light. It can be very hard to be told you are not skinny enough and the person is a size 6 which for most Americans is very small.

Becoming a member of WW at the age of 16 and being a yo-yo up and down dieter all my life... at the age of 56, after menopause, I rejoined WW and lost 115 lb in about a year and a half. I have maintained that weight loss now for 14 years even losing an additional 10. No medication just watching what I eat and getting my steps in and keeping active. I do track what I eat daily and at present I am counting calories. I think the key to my success this time was looking at this journey as a forever way of life... NOT a diet. It's not easy... and what I did is not for everyone...but for me it works and it's my own personal story. I always say you do you! People need to do what's best for them to be healthy. Also to be aware of what's in the foods they are eating. And most importantly To Love Yourself.
