In a world where beauty standards often seem as unattainable as a unicorn in a dream, singer Avery’s recent revelation strikes a harsh chord. The 30-year-old Arizona native has come forward, heartbroken and shocked, after discovering she’s facing the debilitating effects of osteoporosis— a bone-thinning disease she attributes to using Ozempic, a popular weight-loss drug, for just a year. Her tearful Instagram videos reveal an emotional journey through eating disorders, industry pressures that led to her being dropped from her record label “for being too fat,” and ultimately, a misguided belief that shedding pounds was the key to success and beauty. In a desperate plea to her followers, Avery highlights the dire consequences of using medications without need, warning that the road to weight loss can come with unexpected pitfalls, including brittle bones. As Ozempic gains popularity among nearly half a million Britons, is it worth considering the hidden dangers behind the allure of rapid weight loss? LEARN MORE
“Singer Avery has told of her shock at discovering she has a debilitating bone-thinning disease after taking Ozempic for just a year.
In a tearful video posted to Instagram, the 30-year-old from Pheonix, Arizona admitted she took the weight-loss drug after struggling with an eating disorder.
Admitting in another video she was ‘dropped’ by her record label ‘for being too fat’ she added: ‘I thought I needed Ozempic to be beautiful and successful’.
Now, tests have now revealed she has osteoporosis — a condition that puts sufferers at high risk of deadly fractures — after ‘losing too much weight’ on the jab.
In a desperate plea to her 250,000 followers, she urged them to not ‘make the same mistake’ and take a medication ‘you do not need’.
The injections are designed to help type 2 diabetes patients and obese people control their blood sugar levels and lose weight.
But research has suggested the jabs could lead to brittle bones with experts urging people who are vulnerable to fractures against using them.
Around half a million Britons are now thought to be using the medication, which can help them lose up to 20 per cent of their bodyweight in just a few months. It comes as a Mail on Sunday investigation last week revealed almost 400 Brits had been hospitalised — some with life-threatening complications — since the rollout of jabs such as Wegovy, Mounjaro and Saxenda.
In an Instagram video, the ‘Let Me Go’ hitmaker said she had visited her doctor for a check-up after coming off Ozempic two months earlier.
She added: ‘I’m kind of in shock right now because I wasn’t expecting this.
‘Ozempic can cause bone density loss and I didn’t think that would happen to me because I was only on it for a year.
‘But I have significant bone loss, I have osteoporosis and osteopenia.
