Jade Thirlwall discusses the pull of Ozempic alongside her past eating disorders, describing the issue as a daily personal struggle.

Jade Thirlwall Faces Ozempic Temptation Amid Eating Disorder Battle

In a Guardian interview published this weekend, Jade Thirlwall says the appeal of Ozempic is real. She notes that a history of anorexia makes her cautious about using any drug for weight loss, even as she says she does not judge others who choose it.

Thirlwall also recalls the hate she faces online about her body. She emphasizes that she is healthier now than in earlier years with Little Mix, when some fans remember her as thinner. The singer frames her current stance as a personal choice grounded in her mental health and sense of control during difficult times.

The interview highlights a broader tension in public life. Celebrities and fans debate weight, health and medicine in a space amplified by social media. Thirlwall’s candor adds nuance to a conversation that often reduces complex health decisions to quick judgments.

Yet the piece also shows how online scrutiny can follow public figures into private health choices. It underlines the need for empathy and careful reporting when discussing eating disorders, body image and medical options in a media environment that prizes immediacy and sensational angles.
