How has a Type 2 diabetes drug become a go-to for celebrities and influencers looking to lose weight — and what are the damaging effects of its popularity?


This week, we invited Buzzfeed reporter Kelsey Weekman to discusses her article, The Oscars Were a Nightmare For Fat People at Every Turn,. Weekman discusses how this year’s Academy Awards highlighted the stigmas fat people face in Hollywood and influencer culture — and why she decided to speak out. Further, Weekman explains the rise of Type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss. Why is the drug more popular than ever? What can tech companies and influencers do to promote more inclusive spaces?
