The image quickly sent fans into a frenzy, with many questioning how she managed to shed the pounds so fast. Some speculated whether Ozempic, a diabetes drug that’s been making waves in Hollywood for its weight-loss effects, had anything to do with it.

“Ozempic got a choke hold on the entire industry,” one user said, while another playfully suggested, “She’s going back to her tumblr girl era.”

Ozempic is one hell of a drug! Barbie Ferreira is literally unrecognizable! Congrats dawg,” a netizen said.

Other comments took a different tone, with one saying, “Went from photo shopping her to look fat, now it’s to look skinny.”

“She fine both ways. My lord,” wrote another.

Earlier this year, a source close to the actress claimed she slimmed down in order to “revitalize” her career.

“Since she quit Euphoria, the opportunities have been drying up for Barbie and she knew that a reinvention was necessary to maintain longevity,” the insider told the Daily Mail. “In order to get roles in Hollywood, you’ve got to look the part and as shallow as that sounds, it is, unfortunately, true.”

The insider said she had a “strong drive” to make her mark in front of the camera, and losing weight was part of her pursuit.

“She lost the weight to revitalize her career and better highlight her talents. She has such a strong drive to succeed in the industry and is incredibly talented,” the source told the outlet.

“Doing this spread and showing off her new body was a way of saying, ‘Hey this is me now and I am ready to work.’”

“She wants to be able to play sexy parts too and will do what it takes to succeed. Ozempic can offer a really easy way to achieve this.”

A second source also neither confirmed nor denied Barbie’s inclusion of Ozempic in her weight-loss regimen.

“She actually wasn’t in Euphoria that much, but the time she was on set it was clear that her image was important to her,” said the second source.

“Whether she did Ozempic or lost weight by other means, she is loving all the attention from it. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if it was Ozempic though.”

The actress, who had been modeling for years before landing her role in Euphoria, said in a 2022 interview that she didn’t believe “bigger bodies” were as “trendy” as they were when she first stepped into the business.

“I think bigger bodies are not as ‘trendy’ as they used to be, which is really sad to me. But it’s more of a conversation of the fact that we all struggle with self-love, and I don’t think any young person has really figured it out yet,” she told Who What Wear.

She also spoke about being pushed into the mold of “being this person who ‘loves themselves.’”

“It’s so funny that people just assume that. What—did I say that? I never said that,” she added. “You guys just say that. You posted that on me.”

Several fans praised her for her transformation and wished her a “good, healthy future” ahead

Who gives a rat's behind if she used Ozempic! For real. It is a TOOL not a magic potion, she still had to do all the hard work herself. I don't get all the hate for Ozempic, if the doctor feels you are a candidate for it and meets the criteria, then step the eff off. Her body, her informed decision.

WHO GIVES A F*CK. This is just another excuse to put women down. Does it matter if it was diet and exercise OR Ozempic. Before Ozempic there were the same type of articles about women but they were accused of getting Bariatric Surgery to lose weight. I remember reading my Moms gossip rags in the 1970s with this garbage. And of course this sh*t cam from BP writer Binitha Jacob. Every single thing she posts is like this. Complete garbage. Does she think this is TMZ.
