Caprice issues urgent warning over dangerous weight-loss jabs after suffering terrifying side effects in desperate bid to shed 20lbs amid fears of fat-shaming
Supermodel and businesswoman Caprice Bourret has spoken out about the shocking dangers of weight-loss injections after her own harrowing experience left her shaken and determined to warn others. The 53-year-old TV personality admitted she felt pressured to drop around 20lbs because of fat-shaming fears, but what followed was a health nightmare that she says wasn’t worth the risk.
Caprice, who has long been celebrated for her glamorous career and fitness regime, confessed that even she wasn’t immune to the toxic culture of body criticism. In a candid admission, she revealed that she turned to so-called “miracle jabs” being hailed as a fast route to slimness – the same injections that have swept through Hollywood and social media circles, touted by celebrities as the new go-to weight loss solution.
However, instead of the quick fix she hoped for, Caprice said she endured terrible side effects that not only disrupted her health but also made her question the dangerous obsession with thinness that continues to pressure women, regardless of age or success. She described feeling “constantly unwell,” with nausea, fatigue, and bouts of weakness that left her struggling to maintain her daily routine.
“It was awful,” she admitted. “I just wanted to lose a little weight because I was scared of being judged, but the price I paid with my health was too high. I would never advise anyone to go down that road.”
The star emphasized that the injections, which are marketed as appetite suppressants and metabolism boosters, are far from the glamorous miracle they appear to be. Doctors and health experts have already warned that misuse or unsupervised use of these jabs can trigger dangerous side effects ranging from digestive issues to heart complications.
Caprice’s honest confession sheds light on the darker side of the weight-loss industry, especially as social media continues to glorify dramatic transformations without showing the hidden risks. She urged her fans and the wider public to avoid quick-fix solutions, stressing that balanced diet, regular exercise, and self-acceptance are far healthier approaches.
Her warning comes amid growing concerns that younger generations, influenced by viral trends and celebrity endorsements, are turning to medical shortcuts without understanding the potential long-term damage. Caprice admitted that her personal experience was a wake-up call, reminding her to prioritize health over unrealistic beauty standards.
“I want to be around for my kids, to live life fully – not to chase a number on the scales,” she said. “No amount of weight loss is worth sacrificing your health.”
As one of the UK’s most recognizable models, Caprice’s story serves as a powerful reminder that even those in the spotlight face insecurities – but also that their voices can help dismantle the culture of dangerous body shaming and promote healthier, more realistic standards.
