Jamie-Lynn Sigler slams ‘perfect’ people for ‘exploiting’ Ozempic

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is unhappy with the current trend at Ozempic.

While she and Applegate talked about their own experiences with body image issues and eating disorders, the “Sopranos” alum admitted that the drug has helped her friends whom she has seen “struggling with their weight for a very, very, very long time.” time”.

“I saw that it helped them a lot and I’m very happy about it,” she said.

Sigler added: “I’ve also seen friends of mine who were beautiful, healthy and perfect abusing it and it upsets me.”

Sigler, who struggled with an eating disorder in the late 1990s and later became a spokesman for the National Eating Disorders Association, also said the rise in the number of people using the drug clearly represents a failure for the body positivity movement.

“I felt like we were on a path to body positivity, all shapes, sizes and colors, and now everyone looks the same,” she said.

Applegate, 52, agreed with her co-host, adding that taking the drug causes people to “fade out.”

“For women listening, the thinner your face is, the older you look, okay?” – she joked, but quickly corrected it. “It’s not that looking old is bad! Aging gracefully is beautiful.”

In 2022, the “Dead to Me” star revealed that after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, she gained 40 pounds and is unable to walk without a cane. In the podcast episode, Applegate also talked about accepting recent changes to her body as a result of the disease.

“I don’t look in mirrors. “I have written on all the mirrors in the bathroom not to look into them,” she said. “Because I would like to fall on the ground and cry. This is how I feel now.”

Applegate also reflected on her previous experiences with anorexia as a teenage actress on “Wedding With Babies,” but now she says, “I don’t have to be thin.”

Instead, she would rather fit into her old clothes again.

“I don’t work. I have a closet full of clothes I can’t wear, and I don’t have any money coming in. I don’t want to spend money on new clothes. I’d just like to wear the ones I already have,” she said.
