Shocked by Sharon Osbourne's appearance

I recently saw a photo of her- she looks ill and aged. Apparently down to Ozempic - she hasn’t been able to put weight on since she stopped taking it. A shame as she was an attractive woman

I was shocked when I seen her too, I thought she was seriously ill

I'm sure she looks better than most pensioners

She doesn't.

She looks AMAZING!

I think a lot of people feel insecure so like to tear other women down

Sorry, but Sharon Osborne does not in any way look 'amazing.'

I’m sure she’d speak equally highly of you.

Facts - because it’s well known she’s a fucking rude bully in the music industry. Vile.

Disturbia81 · 13/04/2024 13:27

Her face is strange from all the plastic surgery, but it's the Hollywood look, they all have it and it's so so strange. It doesn't look good. She has publicly said she went too far.

doubleshotcappuccino · 13/04/2024 12:37

Looks aside she does nothing but drag and criticism others especially younger women

Waitingfordoggo · 13/04/2024 12:35

It’s interesting how perceptions vary. I don’t have an opinion on whether or not she has had surgery and how that looks, but I do think she looks significantly underweight to the point of looking unwell. I would say the same whatever age she was- she is too thin. (But some younger people can carry off being too thin in a way that older people can’t).

She's seventy fucking one years old, will this judgement of women's appearance and how fat (or not) or old they look ever end?

She looks AMAZING!

Unless she is a medical anomaly, it just doesnt work like that

LighthouseTheme · 13/04/2024 12:22

It has got me thinking - that it's one thing to take this medication and lose weight - BUT, as she herself said in the quoted above, there a physical consequences at the outset; maybe once those have passed, a chemical change HAS taken place which will result in even decent food not being absorbed at all. With no appetite and no absorption, there will definitely be changes beneath the surface so to speak. And they may be very long lasting, as she is discovering.

"Another weight loss injection bashing thread"

Is there a number of posts by people agreeing that these drugs are dangerous above which it becomes a "bashing"?

Why don't you start a weight-loss injection championing thread and see how it goes?

I dont need to champion them, I dont use them, I have briefly in the past for obesity

However my OH, along with countless other patients are on the exact same medication for diabetes.

Think about what you say when you say these are 'dangerous' and criticising their use, they are a medical tool that millions of people are prescribed.

Remember how fat Adele was until she went to live in California? Then, pretty much overnight, she became the stereotypical California Barbie-Blonde stick insect. She fitted in with the Devil Wears Prada culture over there.

And it was truly all purely down to exercise and a personal chef, honest.......sure, sure!

Didn't she admit that she used the Ozempic as well?

augustusglupe · 13/04/2024 08:11

For ages I’ve thought Sharon is ill. I don’t think she wants anyone to know and so has used the diet pills story as an excuse. Cosmetic Surgery doesn’t suddenly make you very thin either.
I hope she’s ok.

BlackFriYay · 13/04/2024 08:02

Would the posters who've said she looks several variations of awful like to share a picture of yourselves so we can judge your looks? Or is it only fair game if you're rich and famous?

Polishedshoesalways · 13/04/2024 05:49

I immediately thought she was unwell again when I saw her. I don’t care how she ‘looks’ - but I do care about health and she looks dangerously skeletal and frail.

If she is unwell she has the right to keep it private. I doubt we know all of the facts. To continue to lose weight after stopping the injections suggests something else is going on.

Perhaps post us a picture of how aged you look when you're 71, should be interesting.

Show quote history

It's not about how aged she looks at 71 - it's about how shockingly underweight she looks now. She looked to me to be under 100 pounds, possibly around 90lbs, so the sort of weight I associate with anorexics like Karen Carpenter. Turns out she weighs around 95 pounds, from what she's said. She's said she'd liked to put on 10 pounds, and that she'd like to be about 105 pounds.

MN posters are forever banging on about osteoporosis - being this thin is a major risk factor for it. If you get ill, and have no weight to spare, at 70-odd years of age, you risk serious repercussions.

Garlicked · 13/04/2024 02:51

I've just watched the Loose Women clip and I think she looks amazing! She doesn't look 70 but she doesn't look any age really - she could be anything from 50 to 85, with a lot of work done and heavy makeup.

I do find it sad that women feel they have to look a certain way. All the women who get work done as they age look very similar. I believe those who take a keen interest in this can tell straight away which surgeon did what work.

Still, Sharon O seems to have picked well. Yes, she looks standard. Pity her "going my own way" ethos doesn't extend to ageing in her body's own way but, then again, I don't really blame her given the life she lives.

Did no-one learn after the bullshit hate of Princess Kate?????

GiveMeAllTheVeggies · 13/04/2024 02:43

Whenwillitgetwarm · 12/04/2024 21:02

She’s quite a nasty woman, that bothers me more than what she looks like. However, I do have sympathy if her quest to look young and thin has caused health issues. Nobody deserves to lose their health.

I presume you know her personally then

Mouse82 · 13/04/2024 02:34

It's 2024, are we still talking about women's bodies like they are public property?

Attractive is a stretch 😭😂

CHEESEY13 · 13/04/2024 01:27

There's tens of thousands of dollars work in that face and it's gone too far. But these cosmetic surgeons will give you what you want if you just keep signing an open cheque.

Even if they know it's bad for you.

TheCheekyKob · 13/04/2024 01:26

She’s 71. I think she looks great for 71! God what is wrong with people.
