The US singer, who once made a name for herself with cover versions of big hits, cries heartbreakingly into the camera on Instagram. The reason is a serious diagnosis that the 30-year-old received just a few minutes before the video.

A doctor found that the artist has "significant bone density loss, osteoporosis and osteopenia". She now suspects a connection with the popular weight loss drug "Ozempic", which Avery stopped taking just two months earlier after a year-long addiction. The US-American explains, sobbing, that she had "not expected" her diagnosis.

Avery had developed an eating disorder under the pressure of the music industry. Her record label had terminated her contract with the accusation that she was "fat". The singer then became "addicted to Ozempic".

The drug, which is currently popular among celebrities as a weight loss miracle cure, is normally used to treat severe diabetes or obesity.

Singer describes Ozempic as "very dangerous"

Avery admits in her video that the 30-year-old used the slimming injection without medical advice and "did a lot of damage to herself" as a result. "I made a mistake." She now knows that it is a "very dangerous drug" if it falls into the wrong hands.

During her eating disorder, her completely distorted body image drove her to lose more and more weight until her entire health suffered as a result.

Avery advises others not to take the popular weight loss drug. "Please learn from my mistakes," she writes on Instagram.

According to the Daily Star, the pharmaceutical company "Novo Nordisk", which markets "Ozempic", also warns that the drug is "not approved for the treatment of weight loss". The drug should only be prescribed after a proper diagnosis.

Avery, meanwhile, wants to start treatment for osteoporosis and osteopenia as soon as possible. "I have to be very careful at the moment because my bones are fragile." However, she believes she can "get well again". Doctors must now clarify the extent to which "Ozempic" is related to her diagnosis.
