The Real Reason Kelly Clarkson Began Taking Weight Loss Drugs

Kelly Clarkson has known she was on the heavier side for years now but says it was never a problem for her. Even when people said she was embarrassed or miserable about her weight, Kelly says she wasn't. Her doctor had been telling her for almost two years to get on a weight-loss drug for the sake of her health, but she admits she was too afraid to do it. “I was like, ’No, I’m afraid of it, I already have thyroid problems.’ I was afraid.”

That was until she saw a recording of herself singing on stage and felt if she didn't change she was afraid she would die of a heart attack. . While talking to Whoopi Goldberg on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the American Idol winner said one performance made her fears about using weight loss drugs disappear.

Kelly said she didn't see her weight as a problem until she saw her 2023 performance at The Belasco Theatre in New York and realized how many pounds she had put on. “Literally, we were watching it. We were in my house in New York like watching it. I was going to release it and then all of a sudden I paused it and I was like,

The former staffers on The Kelly Clarkson Show shared a shocking perspective contrary to the bubbly nature of the set on TV.

‘Who the f–k is that?’ I swear to God. It sounds insane.” Kelly said at the moment she turned to her manager of 15 years who said, “I know I'm kind of shocked as you.' And I think because your people are with you the whole time, so it's gradual. You don't even realize.” Clarkson said even though she didn't notice how much weight she had gained until that performance, she was never insecure about it.

“People assumed, ‘Oh she must’ve been miserable or depressed or whatever,’ and I was like, ’No, I was not,’”

At that point, Kelly was at her heaviest at 203 pounds. Clarkson admitted she had lost more than 60 pounds on the drug that she insisted was not Ozempic but one that worked similarly to the drug. Fans accused Kelly of being deceptive before when she said she had lost weight by walking aroundand eating a protein-rich diet instead of admitting to using a weight-loss drug.

Kelly Clarkson Has Battled Weight Issues For Years

Since Kelly shot to fame after appearing on American Idol, her weight has always been a topic of discussion, and she has gone through a lot every time she lost or gained back the weight.

But no one cared, because aesthetically you make sense.” She also added the pressure from people to maintain the acceptable weight standards was what really got to her. Clarkson told Glamour UK,

“When I was really thin and not super healthy because I was just worn out, just working so hard and not keeping healthy habits. But I felt more pressure. It was more of magazines shoved in front of you and, ‘This is what you’re competing with, and we’ve got to compete with it.”

But now Clarkson says she didn't lose the weight because of people's pressure or wanting to look better in front of a camera but for her health. Kelly was told she was pre-diabetic by her doctor and she tried other ways before she decided to make the change.

“I wasn’t shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight. But I wasn’t shocked by it. They did, they were like, ‘You’re prediabetic. You’re right on the borderline.’ I was like, ‘But I’m not there yet.’ And then I waited two years, and then did, however, move into the, ‘OK I’ll do something about it.’” Aside from the drug, Kelly says she has made changes to her diet and has incorporated more movement to her daily life.
