There are plenty of times when celebrity transparency is celebrated and encouraged (see: Jessica Biel's honesty around her "The Better Sister" physique). But sometimes, we all need to take a step back and remember that celebrities don't owe us anything when it comes to their personal information, especially when it comes to their health. That conversation recently ignited when Serena Williams posted a gym pic on Instagram, captioning it, "Working out and working on my angles." What should have been a moment to celebrate a strong woman and sports icon became a takedown moment, with a flood of strangers criticizing her body via the comments section and accusing her of taking Ozempic. "I like the thick Serena better," one commenter said. "Ozempic. Doesn't even look like Serena anymore," posted another. Whether or not someone uses GLP-1s is not the issue. The real problem here is that so many people feel entitled to "accuse" someone of using a GLP-1, as if it's a bad thing. And why do total strangers feel they are owed an explanation about something so personal? |
