Mikayla posted a TikTok video, in response to an internet troll that accused her of using Ozempic. “If you’re on Ozempic or any of those weight loss medications or drugs, that’s fine. If you are on Ozempic for an [eating disorder], I do not judge that for you at all”, she started.

“For me. I don’t believe that would be good for my recovery. Therefore, I will never do it”, Mikayla continued. She explained that she needs “to develop a healthy relationship with food and exercise and [her] body image … and that is extremely difficult”.

“When you go through recovery and stop binging, sometimes you lose weight with that. But to just put in all that work for months to recover from something that has literally nearly taken your life away multiple times, to just be hit with ‘Laugh my ass off, she’s on Ozempic,’ it just like sucks”, Nogueira added. 

“I just feel like it takes away from anyone who puts in the extreme mental strain to get healthy”. Mikayla became famous during the pandemic, when started to share makeup tutorials online.

“Yes, I have lost weight. I have done it completely naturally and normally and … better food choices, better life choices. I am proud of myself that I did it entirely healthy because it’s the first time in my life that I have, so that’s a huge deal for me”, concluded Mikayla.
