Singer Lizzo sparked Ozempic rumors months back after she revealed her dramatic weight loss, but her personal trainer, Shaun T, says he’s offended by the rumors and that the celebrity lost the weight by doing the hard work.
“The accusations are wildly annoying,” he told TMZ, who asked him about Lizzo’s new, slimmer body. “I think that generally people think because now something is available and popular, they’re not going to give people props. People would rather hate before they give people props.”
“I have trained Lizzo. Like, I have worked out with her, I have danced with her. Lizzo is very fit,” he continued. “People think, like, just because someone’s like a quote-unquote plus size person there, they’re not fit.”
Lizzo has previously addressed the rumors. Last September, she posted a video showcasing her weight loss, captioning the post, “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.” Lizzo also revealed that she lost 16% of her body fat and lowered her BMI by 10.5 points.
“That’s the first thing I’d say: so don’t automatically assume that just because a celebrity or anybody’s losing weight that they’re on Ozempic,” Shaun added. “The second thing I want to say, which is absolutely important, is for people to mind your business.”
