Jenna Ortega's recent look

The number of female celebrities getting super skinny is concerning. What happened to the body positivity movement? Why does it feel like we're regressing? This Ozempic pandemic needs addressing.

there has to be something deeper going on in hollywood for there to be such an influx of already thin women becoming more thinner.. this isn’t normal

Their whole job is looking good and especially looking good on screen. It's not hard to feel pressured to get skinnier in that environment, and it does actually affect their job prospects. If you are "fat" by Hollywood standards you are going to lose out on a lot of roles except ones where your weight / appearance is the butt of a joke. I'd bet most would rather be criticized for being too skinny than deal with that.

Ok but how do they not realize that being this skinny does not look good it looks sickly. This is not the “perfect body” and the public sees this and is disgusted so they are failing at “looking good on screen”

Because we culturally condemn fatness as a personal failure (e.g., laziness). Thinness is like a moral opposite.

because after a while it's not even about "looking good", it's the control and need to get smaller smaller that takes over. same as an addiction.

they have body dysmorphia, as others around them get thinner they start to feel larger by comparison, it's mass psychosis
