'Ozempic Had Her for Lunch'
People on social media did not hold back after seeing the original video.
Many people questioned whether Theron had received some help losing weight after videos from the red carpet circulated quickly online. They claimed her slimmer appearance could be due to GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, however, there is no evidence that the actress has used any of the popular weight-loss drugs.
The reactions to the clip were split.
One wrote, "...what’s left of the beautiful Charlize Theron after Ozempic had her for lunch."
"It's time for her to stop using Ozempic... she looks awful," said another.
With a third asking, "Who the h--- is this? This can't be Charlize Theron."
Others said she looks "stunning," and pointed out that "people age."
While she has not publicly commented on the accusations, her latest Instagram update seems to show she's unfazed by the comments.
