Kathy Bates ‘Exasperated at All the Abuse’ She’s Received After Revealing 100-Pound Weight Loss


Kathy Bates is keeping her chin held high despite online abuse mounting following her successful 100-pound weight loss, a source exclusively tells Closer.

Kathy Bates is rightfully proud of herself for dropping 100 pounds the healthy way, but she’s struggling to deal with the online trolls accusing her of using Ozempic to lose the weight, as well as the fat shamers who plagued her life for years when she was morbidly obese, a source exclusively tells Closer. Now looking forward to a long and healthy life in retirement, Kathy told Extra that before she decided to lose weight, “I was facing diabetes — it runs in my family — and I really didn’t want to live with that,” she said, adding that she’s “in the best health I’ve been in in years and I’m so grateful — it’s a miracle.” While close friends have got the star’s back, others online have been tearing her down and accusing her of using the oft-prescribed diabetes medication Ozempic – which has been touted as a miracle drug for slimming down, especially in Hollywood circles – to “shortcut” her weight loss journey.
