Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s daughter Gracie McGraw opened up about the effect Ozempic had on her.
Gracie, 29, took to her Instagram Story on Monday, August 3, to share that after she started taking Ozempic in 2022 following her PCOS diagnosis, she initially “thought it was the best decision [she] ever made.”
“I finally lost weight and got skinny,” she wrote, per Page Six. “Yes, it f***ing worked and made my PCOS symptoms easier to control, but it also brought back my ED and negative views on my body.”
Gracie went on to say that she got “way too skinny” on the weight loss drug. “I realized, ‘Holy crap, I have been feeding into my eating disorder this whole time under the guise of this miracle shot.’”
Now, looking back, Gracie views Ozempic as “one of the worst things” she’s ever done for herself. She also noted that she’s no longer taking the injection and is gaining weight back.
Gracie reflected on her Ozempic journey, sharing that she got “more opportunities” when she lost weight than she “ever” had before.
“I’ve been called fat and ugly my entire life, whether that had been from magazines or the internet,” she added, claiming that she was compared to her sisters, Maggie, 27, and Audrey, 24, because of the “different genes” she had.
While she is now “doing so good,” Gracie got candid about still having “slip-ups from time to time.”
“Having concern for someone doesn’t also mean you can’t have empathy for their situation,” Gracie added, shutting down body-shamers. “But telling people to not speak on this is incredibly wrong and damaging. It’s promoting created thinness as [a] goal, not as danger. We are at a time when we need to be taking care of ourselves and our people.”
Gracie previously opened up about taking Ozempic in 2023. At the time, she posed a bikini pic of herself and playfully wrote, “It’s a gorgeous day for narcissism!”
A hater then tried to call her out for using Ozempic, to which Gracie replied, “I did use Ozempic last year, yes. I am now on a low dose of Mounjaro for my PCOS as well as working out. No need to accuse when I have been open about it.”
