Christina Aguilera sparked heated debates over her dramatic weight loss. On September 26, the 43-year-old singer visited Barry’s gym in West Hollywood, California, USA. She was celebrating the 25th anniversary of her self-titled debut album and her limited edition Fuel Bar shake named “Genie in a Blender,” inspired by her 1999 hit Genie in a Bottle.

Highlights
  • Christina Aguilera sparked heated debates over her dramatic weight loss, celebrated at Barry's gym on her debut album's 25th anniversary.
  • Fans are concerned about her thin appearance, with some suggesting her weight loss isn't due to exercise but possibly due to dieting trends like Ozempic.
  • Christina celebrated with a limited edition Fuel Bar shake named 'Genie in a Blender' inspired by her 1999 hit song.

Taking to her Instagram page on September 27, Christina, who sported a skintight black bodysuit and thigh-high black leather boots, shared clips of herself posing while holding the shake in the gym and café area.

At one point, the Dirrty hitmaker was seen lifting a dumbbell while posing under an illuminated Barry’s WeHo sign.

Christina wrote in the caption: “Thank you for having me @barrys.” Nevertheless, her video left many people divided as an Instagram user commented: “Promoting a gym when the reason she got so skinny has nothing to do with exercise hahaaha.”

    A person commented: “I’m sorry I’m gonna probably get hate for this, but I think she’s too thin.”

    Someone else penned: “She’s in her 20s again lol.”

    “I don’t think she works out,” a netizen countered. “She just doesn’t eat.”

    An observer noted: “In her fitness influencer era.”

    A commentator added: “Her unhealthy weight loss isn’t from working out it’s from taking this ridiculous diet the celebrities are doing right now and she doesn’t look good for it either.”

    A separate individual chimed in: “I believe the genie from the bottle granted her the three wishes to be that beautiful.”

    Christina also appeared in the TikTok video of a Barry’s gym goer who filmed the popstar seemingly greeting fans.

    Nevertheless, the clip ignited just as many concerns as a TikTok user commented: “Honestly she was never skinnier and it doesn’t look good at all. This is not pretty even her face is so strange…”

    A viewer quipped: “I‘m [a] Genie on Ozempic.”

    Ozempic is an injectable prescription medicine used in combination with diet and exercise to help manage blood sugar levels,the European Medicines Agency states.

    It can be used on its own or in addition to other diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulphonylureas, or insulin. 

    Ozempic can also help reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease.

    The songstress was also celebrating her limited edition Fuel Bar shake named “Genie in a Blender”

    While Ozempic is not approved for weight loss, some physicians prescribe it for this purpose, as per UC Davis Health. Ozempic can help with weight loss by reducing appetite, which can lead to the consumption of fewer calories. 

    In recent years, Ozempic has become a notable favorite among celebrities, many of whom have opened up about using the drug or been exposed for taking it in secret.

    In fact, celebrity use and social media promotion of Ozempic have reportedly contributed to a shortage of the drug, which is intended to treat diabetes

    “The broad shortage of Ozempic seen currently, and GLP-1s in general, has been attributed to the misuse and self-administering of the drug by celebrities and social media influencers who are seeking rapid weight loss,” Dr. Ahmed AK Hassoun, consultant of endocrinology at Fakeeh University Hospital, recently explained.

    GLP-1s is the class of medications to which Ozempic belongs. “This inappropriate off-label use of Ozempic has led to an unprecedented surge in demand among the general population, resulting in difficulties for diabetics accessing the medication,” Dr Hassoun added.

    Despite Ozempic use accusations, Christina brushed off speculations, telling Glamour ​​​in August that the media’s obsession with her weight was particularly painful.

    “When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s,” Christina previously said

    She further said that much of her self-esteem in the early 2000s was based on “how skinny I was.”

    The Grammy Awards winner admitted: “When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s.

    “I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’

    “Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.’”

    She continued: “I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f**k about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on.

    “It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”

    “What happened?” a Tiktok user questionned

    I feel that it's a shame that she has resorted to this. She is a beautiful woman with huge talent who clearly feels the need to starve herself.

    She looks pretty thin! And if her weight history is any indication, she’s prone to extremes on both ends of the weight spectrum. I think it’s very likely that she’s using or has used Ozempic, but of course I don’t know that for a fact. She has a valid point, though, about the fact that she receives criticism regardless of how she looks. This is a common issue for women, and especially so for women in show business!

    Ozempic can have serious side effects, including: Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas. You should stop taking Ozempic and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you have severe stomach pain that doesn't go away, with or without vomiting. Gastroparesis: A condition where the stomach muscles become too weak to digest food and move it into the intestines. This can cause food to sit in the stomach for too long, and can be painful. Thyroid tumors: Ozempic can cause thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer, in rodents. You should contact your healthcare provider if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. Diabetic retinopathy: Sudden improvement in blood glucose levels, such as when taking Ozempic, can temporarily worsen diabetic retinopathy. Signs include blurred vision, seeing floaters, or partial or total vision loss. Hair loss: Losing weight quickly can result in hair shedding or loss. Kidney failure: Ozempic

    That is terrifying. What is the point of ruining your precious health for the sake of losing a few Kg's. These celebrities need to get perspective.

    what do you mean "accusations"? Why is she being accused of caring for her own well being? The true villains of this story should be people who keep increasing prices for a wildly popular d**g.
