Ashley Graham Calls GLP-1 Weight-Loss Craze 'Really Disheartening'

She warns the GLP-1 craze could roll back body-acceptance gains.

Overview

  • In a new Marie Claire interview, Graham said the surge in GLP-1 use feels like a reversal of recent body-positivity progress and "a smack in the face" to women who found a voice.
  • GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic are diabetes treatments now widely used for weight loss, and Graham argued the fashion for them will pass rather than change who exists.
  • She pledged to keep pushing for clothes that fit all bodies and for confidence building across age, size, and background.
  • She pointed to a growing wave of plus-size creators who model many shapes and help younger fans hear "be yourself" messages online.
  • She added that three pregnancies changed her own body and that learning to accept those changes guides her advocacy.
