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

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?

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.

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?

@soupfiend
"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.

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.

soupfiend · 13/04/2024 12:24

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

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!

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

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).

doubleshotcappuccino · 13/04/2024 12:37

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

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.

valensiwalensi · 13/04/2024 14:25

KreedKafer · 12/04/2024 20:32

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.

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

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 01:28

I'm sure she looks better than most pensioners

She doesn't.

Liv999 · 13/04/2024 14:30

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

SugaryKrush · 13/04/2024 14:31

A saying I once heard that once you get your a certain age you choose between your face or your arse . I'm overweight and people think I'm younger than I am but I know if I was as slim as I once was I would look haggard .

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 14:41

@SabreIsMyFave let's see what you look like at 71 then

Amara123 · 13/04/2024 14:53

She was put on ozempic at a healthy weight, which was medically and ethically wrong. Particularly at her age, where a good body weight is really important.
I feel sorry for her daughter Kelly as she seems to have inherited the same body image issues.
I feel sad that there are all these amazing successful women in constant battle with their bodies.

I know a number of women in their 70s, and they look way better than Sharon Osborne does now. As will I. In fact, all the women I know in their 80s, and 90s look better than her.

You're deluded if you think Sharon Osborne looks 'better than most pensioners.' I'm actually cringing for you.

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 14:58

@SabreIsMyFave where did I say she looks great or amazing? That was someone else's post. I'm not deluded thanks

You said Sharon looks 'better than most pensioners,' which is laughable, because you don't know most pensioners 😆. Utterly ludicrous comment from you!

Disturbia81 · 13/04/2024 15:09

I know a few who are taking metformin to lose weight (not diabetic) both men and women and yes they are thinner than ever. But also look a lot older and weathered if that makes sense
I've heard ozempic does the same

Crystalineknowledge · 13/04/2024 15:21

lol at the posters saying see what you look like at 71. You’re missing the point, it’s not about her age it’s about her dramatic self inflicted weight loss which she herself is warning others against. It’s like something from the hunger games.

I don’t know how I’ll look at 71 but I certainly won’t be taking medication I don’t need to lose weight I don’t need to lose.

I find this type of discussion of people's appearance unpleasant.

She's allowed to do as she pleases.

Focus on your own faces if you have nothing better to think about.

When one seeks the public’s attention, the public’s attention one shall receive.

What’s that old saying? Oh yeah —
Be careful what you wish for.

Thepurplecar · 02/08/2024 02:16

Not sure the weight loss itself is the problem looks wise, more that she's shrunk but the plastic bits haven't. Her cheek bones are now way too big for her. A cautionary tale about plastic surgery.
