Brooks Nader doubled down on her admission about using a drug to lose weight, calling it her “crutch.” The reality TV star and her sisters became household names after launching their sister series, “Love Thy Nader,” in late August. Then, one episode led to a crucial revelation after Nader admitted to microdosing on a weight-loss drug, GLP-1. She is only now peeling back the curtain even further on her confession, vowing to get off it because “it’s not healthy.”
Brooks Nader gets real about GLP-1 use in new interview
Brooks Nader got increasingly real about using the GLP-1 drug, which first came to light on “Love Thy Nader,” in a new interview. While talking to Bustle‘s Samantha Leach, she first revealed that it remains a fact that her modeling career only took off after she “started GLP-1,” a weight loss drug. Nader, agreeing that it might not have been the best or “right” thing to do, opined that “everybody is different” and that she “booked all the jobs” after losing 30 pounds.
The “Dancing With the Stars” alum GLP-1 usage first surfaced in a September episode of her and her sisters’ Freeform series. The segment offered a more intimate glimpse at the body image struggles that she continues to navigate. It showed Nader’s sisters interfering with her consumption of the drug and her eating habits after a severe health scare. She then admitted to upping her dosage to look “extra snatched” for an upcoming magazine photoshoot.
Nader told Leach that she was surprised at the response she received from viewers after her drug confession. She claimed that people reached out to her about their own GLP-1 addictions, how “ashamed” they felt talking about it due to the “stigma,” and how it’s something they depend on. Nader honestly confessed that she’s “still on it” and that it’s a “crutch” for her, but vowed to get off the drug, understanding that “it’s not healthy.”
