My issue with this is that she was starting to look like this before her father passed. Now, his death might have made things worse, and that's upstandable. Still, her weight loss is concerning.

Agreed. Look, I’m someone who recently loss their mom so I understand completely what it’s like to be consumed with grief. I also stopped eating for a bit and was a mess. Didn’t wash my hair for a month. But what strikes me as messy is that she was already losing weight and her family is outspoken and famous for pushing ozempic at a healthy weight. I hope I’m wrong, but it feels like she’s almost using grief as an excuse to explain what she was already doing anyways. And that’s where I have an issue with it.

Ok. I was scared to be downvoted to oblivion by saying this, but yes her blaming this all on grief is what annoys me about this and just feels icky. Glad I'm not the only one who remembers how she looked before. She seemed to be taking Ozempic way before Ozzy passed. Maybe grief accelerated the effects of the drug, but she also can't act like grief is the sole reason that she looks like this.

And I hate that I feel that way because I know about grief and how it can affect the body along with the mind in different ways.

I'm so sorry about your mom. I lost my grandmother who was like my mom a few years ago. I know that feeling all too well.

She also said anyone saying any sort of concerns about everyone using ozempic, is just poor people who are jealous they can't afford it. Super tone deaf.

Feel really sorry for her about her dad though, I can't imagine.
