Friends and fans of Kelly Clarkson are growing increasingly concerned as the beloved singer and talk show host has reportedly shed a staggering 60 pounds in just a few months. Insiders close to Clarkson are sounding the alarm, fearing that her dramatic weight loss could be jeopardizing her health. "She's hardly eating. This rapid weight loss seems to be making her sick," shared a source close to the star.
At 41, Clarkson, who opened up in 2018 about battling an autoimmune disorder and a thyroid condition, is now facing new health challenges. According to the insider, Clarkson's drastic diet has led to constant fatigue, stomach issues, and even dizzy spells. "Given her existing health issues, the last thing she should be doing is starving herself," the source added.
Speculations are rife among her fanbase and colleagues that Clarkson might have joined the ranks of Hollywood celebrities opting for Ozempic, a medication initially developed for type 2 diabetes but now popular for weight loss. Notable figures like Sharon Osbourne and Amy Schumer have publicly acknowledged using the drug. However, Clarkson has remained tight-lipped about her methods, leading to further speculation. "Her appetite is totally gone. She used to enjoy hearty lunches, but now she barely touches a small salad," the insider revealed.
Sources suggest that Clarkson's decision to lose weight was partly influenced by her desire to reenter the dating scene, following her tumultuous divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2021. Clarkson reportedly gained around 50 pounds during her six-year marriage to her former manager. "Initially, everyone supported her diet. It was understandable that she'd want to feel her best post-divorce. But now, there's a real worry she's taking it too far," confides the source.
Clarkson's recent transformation has not gone unnoticed by her audience, with many expressing their concern for her well-being. "It's like she's become addicted to losing weight," the insider expressed, highlighting the potential dangers of her rapid weight loss journey. As fans and friends hope for Clarkson's health and well-being, the situation underscores the fine line between personal health and public scrutiny in the world of celebrity.
