Julia Fox Shoots Down Rumor She’s On Weight-Loss Drug

by

Julia Fox shot down the rumors that she’s on the weight-loss drug, Ozempic, during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sunday. The popular diabetes medicine has been used by many for its added weight-loss effect.

“All these people are coming for me saying that I take the weight-loss things — people are saying that I’m taking Ozempic or whatever it’s called — I’m not, and I never have,” Fox told the outlet. “I would never do that. There are diabetics that need it.” Fox’s podcasting co-host Niki Takesh added, “It’s a diabetes medication and there’s people that actually need it.”

Fox has previously spoken about her body changing as she ages, claiming that she has no intention of fighting it off. “Just so you guys know, aging is fully in. Like, fully,” she said on TikTok. “If I see another product that says anti-aging on the label, I’m suing. I’m going to sue. I’m going to age regardless of if I put that f—king $500 serum on my face, and you all f—king know it and we know it, so let’s stop lying to ourselves.”

Elsewhere in her interview with ET, Fox addressed the backlash to her viral New York City apartment tour. She argued that anyone who criticized her for the video has never lived in NYC. “I feel like a lot of people outed themselves for never having been to New York when the outrage about the mouse happened, because it’s like, everybody has mice here!” Fox explained. “It’s when you have rats that you need to regulate. [That’s a] very important distinction.” She also reflected on her own childhood in NYC. “When I was little, I used to have so much fun catching them and releasing them,” Fox added. “But now, it’s like, I’m tired and, like, do I wanna go catch a mouse after a 16-hour day? No, I’m just gonna convince myself that the mouse is a pet.”

As she shed weight, the mother of three’s followers took note of her changing appearance, which has only continued to look slimmer in recent weeks. On Thursday (March 16), Curry shared stunning photos of her in beautiful Abu Dhabi, where she wore an elegant dress on the Forbes 3050 International Women’s Day summit red carpet. While her skin’s glow and the smile she bares in the second image make it seem as though she’s happy and healthy, some couldn’t help but feign concern for the socialite in her comment section.

“The weight, I pray sister is well!” one person wrote. “Hopefully [it’s] not Hollywood peer pressure!” Another chimed in with, “Beautiful as always but looking too thin.” Thankfully, not every response that came in was criticizing Curry. “I despise this society where people are constantly making comments about someone’s weight,” one frustrated user began ranting.

They went on, “Even if you have good intentions they might not feel the same way. They might like to be smaller or bigger, etc. and I feel like every woman has a tarnished relationship with their weight and body because of this. Just say she [looks] good.” Keep scrolling to read more reactions to Ayesha Curry’s recent weight loss, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Shaq Details How He Lost 40 Pounds

by

Shaq is one of the most legendary players in the history of the NBA. Unfortunately, just like many other former athletes, he has gotten out of shape in retirement. Of course, this is par for the course as retired athletes don’t need to maintain their figures anymore.

Overall, Shaq certainly isn’t the worst example of this. His co-host Charles Barkley has certainly been through it more. However, Shaq has still packed on the pounds, which can be concerning for one’s health. As it turns out, Shaq agrees.

Shaq Loses Weight

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the legendary Laker revealed that he has lost 40 pounds as of late. This is all because a friend had told them that he weighed too much. The basketball star agreed and began to count calories, all while working harder in the gym. So far, so good.

“A friend of mine called me and said, ‘You’re fat,’ and she gave me this guy’s name, and he did some blood work,” Shaq explained. “He was saying, ‘You can do this, you can’t do that, [eat] more vegetables, [your] iron’s low.’ Once I just started changing those certain things, it dropped. It’s all about eating right.”

He continued: “I had to find flaws in others to make myself feel okay – until you find true love for self – you can never truly love someone else – I love you all I’m never looking back – slow motion is always better than no motion – hard work pay off break not a day off.”

Back in 2019, Gates had originally said that the decision to focus on losing weight came after one of his friends’ children, “tried to suck on my breast,” which he said, “hurt my fuckin’ feelings.”

As for music, Gates released his first full-length album since 2019, Khaza, earlier this year. The project peaked at number eight on the US Billboard 200 and includes a feature from Juicy J.
