Whoopi Goldberg Stands Up for Kelly Clarkson After Sharing Weight Loss Journey – Hollywood Life

Whoopi Goldberg Defends Kelly Clarkson’s Weight Loss Journey

Whoopi Goldberg has come to the defense of Kelly Clarkson after the singer and TV host opened up about her experience with a weight loss medication. On a recent episode of “The View,” Whoopi expressed her disappointment at the backlash Clarkson has been receiving from some fans who question her decision to use the medication.

“A lot of people are taking the shot because they need it. Some people need their body jump-started. Some have diabetes. There’s lots of reasons,” Whoopi shared. She went on to explain that Clarkson has been facing criticism for previously claiming she was losing weight through walking, but the medication has also played a role in her weight loss journey.

During an episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Clarkson clarified that the medication she is using is different from what people assume, but it aids in helping break down sugar in her body. Whoopi emphasized that people will always find something to criticize, whether Clarkson is bigger or has lost weight.

The hosts of “The View” echoed Whoopi’s sentiments, with Sunny Hostin adding that strangers are not entitled to know about other people’s medical choices. She emphasized the importance of mental well-being and called for an end to the epidemic of body shaming and personal health discussions.

Both “The View” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show” continue to air on weekdays, providing platforms for important discussions on health, body positivity, and mental well-being.
