Jameela Jamil responds to drug use for Serena Williams weight loss

Jameela Jamil is weighing what makes her “uncomfortable” about the admission of Serena Williams that he is using a GLP-1 drug to lose weight.

Williams shared that he is using a drug to lose weight in an exclusive interview with the “Today” program on Friday, and said he has lost 31 pounds.

Williams appeared in the program like Ro’s new face, a telesalud company that can prescribe medications to lose weight. Her husband, the co -founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian, is a member of the Board and also a investor in the company.

“What I feel more uncomfortable here is that celebrities have access to doctors to whom most others do not have access. These ‘miracle’ weight loss drugs are priced,” Jamil said on an instagram shared on Sunday, before listing all possible side effects of drugs and criticizing the media for not sharing them.

“If things go wrong, you have no billion dollars to fix it, so I don’t like celebrities to push drugs with documented drastic side effects,” he said.

When Jamil’s publication picked Steam, he added clarifications to his statements in his subtitle, including that Williams’s husband is invested in the company.

“Another reason why we must take every support of celebrities with a pinch of salt,” he wrote.

The “The Good Place” actor added that his publication was also “about transparency, not judging Serena’s body. You are not judging or your decision to make a LPG-1”.

Jamil continued to publish more videos on the subject in his Instagram stories and made another Instagram monitoring publication on Monday focused on Williams.

“I also wrote a long substitute that defended Serena’s right to do what he wants with his body,” he wrote. “His body has watched enough during the decades. It is not about his choice. It’s about how celebrities promote drugs and diet products. All brightness, none of the inconvenient truths.”

When Williams appeared in the “Today” program last week, he explained his reasoning to go to a LPG-1.

“All this started after having my (first) son,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what I did: running, walking, walking for hours because they say it’s good, I was literally practicing a professional sport, and I could never go back to where I needed to be for my health. Then, after my second child, it even became more difficult. So, I realized, it’s fine, I have to try something different.”

She shared that while she is aware of the side effects that come with the drug, “I simply had none.”
