Bella Thorne admitted she “doesn’t feel good” about her body and accused Ozempic of setting “inordinate beauty standards” in Hollywood.
The actress got candid about her image while showing off a blue leopard print bikini in an Instagram Story video posted on Saturday.
“So I haven’t felt good about my body for a while now, especially with everyone being on Ozempic,” she told the Daily Mail.

Thorne, 26, claimed the type 2 diabetes drug had “created an insane standard of beauty that no one can live up to unless they’re taking Ozempic”.
The Disney Channel alum then detailed her workout routine, saying, “I swam every day, sweated as much as I could, walked everywhere, and I’m finally happy with myself.”
She flipped her middle finger at the camera and said, “I’m finally feeling better. So Ozempic, [f–k] off.”

Thorne’s condemnation of Ozempic comes as a growing number of high-profile figures come forward to admit they use weight-loss drugs.
Last week, Alabama Barker, the 18-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, admitted to taking unnamed weight-loss drugs to lose weight.
Others who have used similar drugs include Kelly Clarkson, Tori Spelling, Rebel Wilson and Sharon Osbourne.
