Christina Aguilera, the powerhouse vocalist known for her iconic hit "Genie in a Bottle," recently set social media abuzz with her drastic weight loss. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut album, the 43-year-old singer made a glamorous appearance at Barry's gym in West Hollywood. Here, she unveiled her limited edition Fuel Bar shake, aptly named "Genie in a Blender." Clad in a sleek black bodysuit and thigh-high leather boots, Christina posed with her signature confidence as she sipped on her shake and lifted weights under Barry's famed WeHo sign.
Sharing her gym visit on Instagram, Aguilera sparked mixed reactions. "Thank you for having me @barrys," she captioned her post, but it didn't take long for the internet to voice its opinions. "Promoting a gym when the real reason she got so skinny has nothing to do with exercise," one user quipped, reflecting a sentiment echoed by many. "I'm sorry I’m gonna probably get hate for this, but I think she’s too thin," another commented. Some fans reminisced about her younger days, noting how her appearance now mirrors her 20s.
“I believe the genie from the bottle granted her the three wishes to be that beautiful.”
Despite the buzz, whispers of Aguilera's potential use of Ozempic – a medication intended for managing type 2 diabetes – have fueled the conversation. While not officially approved for weight loss, Ozempic has gained popularity among celebrities seeking rapid results, contributing to its shortage. "The broad shortage of Ozempic seen currently has been attributed to misuse by celebrities seeking rapid weight loss," explained Dr. Ahmed AK Hassoun.
Christina, however, remains unfazed by the speculation. In an interview with Glamour, she candidly discussed the media's fixation on her weight. “When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s," she reflected. "I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f**k about your opinion. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”
Christina's visit to Barry's wasn't just about promoting a new shake. Her appearance aligns with a broader Hollywood fitness craze, where many celebrities are turning to intense workouts and dietary changes. Aguilera, in her own words, has chosen to embrace her body and dismiss the scrutiny. A recent video of her at the gym even showed her mingling with fans, proving that despite the chatter, she's living her best life.
As Christina Aguilera continues to navigate the spotlight, her weight loss journey serves as a reminder of the pressures celebrities face in the public eye. Whether it's through fitness or other means, Aguilera's message is clear: her happiness and self-worth transcend public opinion.
