Nikki Glaser Claps Back at Ozempic Critics: “Shame Comes from Thin People”
Ah yes, another round in the age-old battle between body positivity and societal expectations, yet this time equipped with a needle and a dose of sass. Comedian Nikki Glaser took to “The Tonight Show” to unapologetically endorse Ozempic—yes, that trendy anti-diabetic medication that has become the darling of weight-loss enthusiasts everywhere. With a firm stance, she declared, “I love it, I love it,” further advocating for a world where talking about Ozempic isn’t cloaked in guilt. According to Glaser, the real shame surrounding this medication comes not from the users, but from “thin people who want you to stay fat.” Now, isn’t that a twist worthy of a sitcom plot?
For those living under a rock, Ozempic is FDA-approved and primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes, but its off-label use for weight loss has skyrocketed, sparking debates on ethics and accessibility. Glaser’s comments shine a spotlight on a double standard—where thin individuals often scold others for using a medication that’s been celebrated for its weight-loss results, while secretly harboring jealousy. “They are so mad that you’re getting thin now, because that’s all they have, right?” she quipped, exposing the absurdity of thin privilege in a society obsessed with body image.
But wait, there’s more! Glaser also took a playful jab at the stigma surrounding cosmetic surgery, humorously suggesting that subtle tweaks can be masked as mere wellness routines. “People treat you better when you’re hotter. It’s just a fact,” she remarked, leaving us to ponder the societal weight of beauty norms. In a world where self-improvement often comes with a side of shame, Glaser’s bold proclamations remind us that embracing change—whether through medication or a little nip and tuck—should be celebrated, not vilified. So, let’s raise a glass to self-love, body autonomy, and the glorious chaos of being human.
Class dismissed. Now go forth and love yourself, Ozempic or not!
