"Where has body positivity gone?" Lottie Moss slams 'heroin chic' popularised by her sister Kate Moss in the 90s after Ozempic overdose
26-year-old model Lottie Moss, who is the half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, criticized the "heroin chic" style popular in the 90s. At one time, it started with Kate Moss: thanks to her, it became aesthetically pleasing to look very thin and sickly. As Lottie Moss noted in her podcast, this trend is now returning - that is why many stars have actively started using "Ozempic" for weight loss, risking their health. Lottie herself was hospitalized due to an overdose of the drug, and believes that this trend should not be allowed to return.
"It shouldn't be a trend now. Where did body positivity go? The 'heroin chic' trend is coming back like it did in the 90s, but we shouldn't go back to that."
"It wasn't long ago that curvy girls were popular and it was becoming more fashionable to be curvy and sexy, but now it's all back to this 'heroin chic', not eating and wanting to be super skinny," Lottie said.
The model noted that being thin is acceptable if your body is naturally like that, but you shouldn't try to get it that way on your own or by dangerous methods. "Just be happy with your weight and the fact that your body is functioning and working, instead of subjecting it to something like that."
She previously spoke about how she ended up in hospital and said that this incident is a warning for anyone who wants to lose weight with the help of drugs.
The girl took too much of a diabetes drug that was bought under the counter, causing her to have a "seizure caused by dehydration" and had to be taken away by ambulance.
Earlier, Kate Moss herself stated that she was bullied because she made thinness popular: the parents of girls accused the model of putting their daughters in danger because of her example.
