Tori Spelling Confirms What We Suspected About Her Dramatic Weight Loss Transformation
Tori Spelling has long been in the spotlight, not only for her roller-coaster relationship with now-estranged husband Dean McDermott, but also for her recent weight loss, which has fans buzzing with curiosity. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor shared an Instagram pic looking super slimmed down and many worried about her health amid her messy split from McDermott. "You just have to look at Tori to see how much she's suffering now. Life has done a number on her," a source shared with InTouch. "The stress of trying to keep life going for her kids and give them the same lifestyle as their friends is taking a huge toll. She can't hide it from anyone, including her kids."
While Spelling has undoubtedly gone through many hardships as of late, including losing so much of her money, it turns out that she's just one of the many stars who has admitted to taking a weight-loss drug to shed those unwanted pounds.
Tori Spelling admitted to using Mounjaro
During a recent episode of her podcast "misSPELLING," Tori Spelling shared, "I did Mounjaro — and everybody admits it now. It's a different time so I don't feel, like, shamed saying that. I couldn't lose the baby weight." She mentioned that losing weight was easy after the birth of each of her first four children, but she faced challenges shedding the pounds after welcoming her youngest. "At my heaviest, I was 120 pounds my entire life. And after Beau, I was 160, and I couldn't lose the weight and the doctor was like, 'It's an age thing,'" Spelling confessed. After a regimen of dieting and exercising, the "So Notorious" star's doctor prescribed her Mounjaro — a diabetes drug that The New York Times notes is similar to Ozempic. However, she discontinued its use in January 2024.
This isn't the first time Spelling addressed her weight. In her memoir, "UnchartedTerriTORI," she blamed swine flu and stomach issues for her slimmed-down frame. "I've never had a great stomach, but (being ill) just completely tore up my stomach and broke down my immune system, and I've basically just been a mess ever since, stomach-wise," she wrote, according to Today. A few years later, she shared in her new book, "Spelling It Like It Is," that she lost weight having the birth of her son Finn by adhering to a diet which she dubbed the "Just Keep Your F***king Mouth Shut and Eat Air diet," as recounted by Us Weekly.
