Terry Dubrow praises Kelly Clarkson’s weight-loss drug reveal — but blasts her ‘Ozempic-shaming’
Terry Dubrow has mixed feelings about Kelly Clarkson’s weight-loss drug reveal.
Three days after the “Kelly Clarkson Show” host confessed to viewers that she slimmed down “a lot” with “something that aids in helping break down sugar,” Dubrow blasted her “Ozempic-shaming.”
Clarkson, 42, notably clarified to her audience Monday that while “everybody thinks” she took Ozempic, “it’s something else.”
Dubrow, 65, told TMZ Thursday that although he did not want to “criticize” the “fantastic” Grammy winner, he believed her comments to be only “honesty-adjacent.”
“If you don’t want to admit to Ozempic and you want to say it’s another medication, there’s only one other medication, and that’s Mounjaro,” the plastic surgeon said. “Let’s just say it. Let’s celebrate it.”
However, he did praise Clarkson for coming clean after months of headlines about her 60-pound weight loss.
“Thank you for admitting to it,” the “Botched” star gushed. “I think it’s fantastic. … She looks amazing.”
Clarkson elaborated on her decision during an interview with Whoopi Goldberg, who revealed in March that she had “jumpstart[ed her] metabolism” with Mounjaro.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer said her “blood work got so bad” that she moved forward with the prescription.
Clarkson initially “didn’t see” how much weight she had put on and asked “who the f–k [is] that?” when she watched a video of herself performing.
“She’s about to die of a heart attack,” she recalled thinking. “My heaviest, I was 203 [pounds] and I’m 5 [foot] 3 and a half [inches tall].”
Al Roker has since come to Clarkson’s defense against online “judgement,” telling haters to “back off” on the “Today” show Tuesday.
Before her admission, Clarkson had played coy about her weight-loss techniques.
“Walking in the city is quite the workout. And I’m really into infrared saunas right now,” she told People in a January interview, calling her diet a “healthy mix” of foods.
As for Dubrow, the reality star admitted to Ozempic use that same month, telling Page Six he ultimately stopped taking it because he missed “the joy of eating.”
