Singer Avery warns of life-threatening bone-thinning disease after taking Ozempic: 'Use me as an example'

LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA: In a heartbreaking Instagram video, singer Avery, best known for her hit single 'Let Me Go', revealed the devastating consequences of using the weight-loss drug Ozempic.

Fighting back tears, the 30-year-old Arizona native shared with her 250,000 followers that she has been diagnosed with osteoporosis, a debilitating bone-thinning disease, after using the drug for a year.

Singer Avery opens up about turning to Ozempic after industry pressures

Avery confessed that she turned to Ozempic after years of struggling with an eating disorder and professional rejection.

“I was dropped by my record label for ‘being too fat',” she admitted. She reflected and revealed, “I thought I needed Ozempic to be beautiful and successful.”

Ozempic, a medication designed to manage type 2 diabetes and obesity, has gained widespread popularity for its dramatic weight-loss results.

However, Avery’s story sheds light on the drug’s potential dangers, especially for individuals who use it without medical guidance.

In her emotional video, Avery revealed the results of a recent check-up two months after stopping the drug.

“I’m kind of in shock right now because I wasn’t expecting this,” she said.

“Ozempic can cause bone density loss, and I didn’t think that would happen to me since I was only on it for a year. But I have significant bone loss—osteoporosis and osteopenia. That’s what happens when you use Ozempic for weight loss and lose too much weight,” she disclosed.

Experts have warned that Ozempic’s rapid weight-loss effects can lead to brittle bones, increasing the risk of life-threatening fractures.

Avery is now one of the faces of this alarming trend, sharing her story to warn others.

She stated, “I know some of you might not relate or might think I’m being overdramatic, but I’m sharing this to say please don’t take this drug if you don’t need it. Please use me as an example. It’s become very normalized, but it’s really dangerous. I just can’t believe I did this damage to myself.”

Avery admits mistakes she made in Ozempic use

In a follow-up post, Avery further clarified her situation, taking full accountability.

“I do have an eating disorder and did NOT get Ozempic from a doctor. It’s very easy to get now, and many people with eating disorders are using it. I made a mistake, and I take responsibility for it. Please learn from mine.”

The singer also reassured her followers that she’s starting a treatment plan to manage her condition.

“I will be starting a treatment plan and going on medication. I’ll know more soon. It’s not always reversible, but there are things I can do to improve the situation. Right now, I need to be very careful because my bones are brittle. But it is treatable, and I’ll be okay. Thank you for the support.”

Avery’s story has sparked important conversations about the misuse of weight-loss drugs and the societal pressures that push individuals toward extreme measures.

Her experience serves as a cautionary tale: the pursuit of quick fixes can come at a significant cost.

By sharing her journey, Avery hopes to inspire others to approach weight loss and self-image with caution and self-compassion.

“Please, please be careful with Ozempic if you don’t need it,” she urged before adding, “It’s meant only for diabetes and obesity treatment. I want to show you why you need to be cautious.”

In another video shared on her Instagram, she clarified, "Some people are still confused as to what led to me taking Ozempic - hope this helps explain a bit how I stumbled down the wrong path."
