Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s daughter, Gracie McGraw, defended her use of the drug Ozempic for weight loss, saying she used it to combat the effects of having PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).

The 25-year-old musician posted photos of herself on Instagram in a bikini along with the caption, “It’s a gorgeous day for narcissism!”

In the comments, one of McGraw’s followers accused her of losing weight by using Ozempic, the popular semaglutide medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes. It became popular in Hollywood and beyond for its extreme weight loss side effects.

“And Ozempic!” that person wrote, prompting McGraw to reply, “I did use Ozempic last year, yes. I am now on a low dose of Mounjaro for my PCOS as well as working out. No need to accuse when I have been open about it.”

Another fan came to the musician’s defense. “PCOS sucks. Insulin resistance, weight gain, ovarian cysts and polyps, hair growth on the face and other odd areas. Plus a ton of other issues. I’m super glad she was able to get access to a great medication to help out!”  

The eldest daughter of two of country music’s biggest stars previously discussed why she decided to take Ozempic for weight loss. 

“I just wanted to share really quick that I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). To get the correct diagnosis you would need 2 out of the 5 characteristics of PCOS and I had 4,” she told fans on Instagram in March 2022. 

“During my appointment with my endocrinologist, I realized that may had been a factor in my issues with weight, so we decided to try a medicine to regulate my body more normally and create the tools to continue to keep my body and myself healthy as I get older.”

She said taking “correct steps toward my mental health” helped her through tough times.

“Sending love to those who are struggling with something similar or literally anything at all. Mental health is freaking hard !! It’s a long road but we can get through it,” McGraw wrote. “I share my experience to hope my situation has reached someone who can relate.”  

McGraw concluded by saying how the “medicine I’m taking has given me a body I haven’t had in years” and that she was “finding new ways to love” herself “every day.”

Ozempic has been in the news a lot recently as people with type 2 diabetes are having a hard time securing the medication amid shortages due to its popularity for weight loss. 

Target donated funds to a group that has called for closing down Mount Rushmore because it is “an international symbol of white supremacy,” according to a new report

Target gave money to the NDN Collective in 2022, a South Dakota-based nonprofit that has stated that closing Mount Rushmore, and returning the land and all public lands in the Black Hills of South Dakota is “our cornerstone battle,” Fox News reported.

“Not only does Mount Rushmore sit in the heart of the sacred Black Hills, but it is an international symbol of White Supremacy and colonization,” NDN stated. “To truly dismantle white supremacy and systems of oppression, we have to go back to the roots. Which, for us, is putting Indigenous Lands back in Indigenous hands.”

“Mount Rushmore is an international symbol of white supremacy, and as people across America rightfully pull down statues of white supremacy, we have to look long and hard at how this national monument in the Black Hills upholds and maintains white supremacy on Indigenous lands,” NDN Collective President and CEO Nick Tilsen stated in a press release.

“Our LANDBACK efforts started at Mount Rushmore as we not only took a stand against white supremacy and Trump’s racist rhetoric that day, but also in demanding that Mount Rushmore be shut down as a national monument and that all public lands in the Black Hills be returned to Indigenous people,” he continued.

NDN Collective’s “Landback” campaign has declared, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free,” a mantra that terrorist organizations that hate Israel use to describe the elimination of the Jews in Israel.

“The U.S. military is in the explicit business of taking land away from communities all around the world and using their presence on their land to carry out their own agenda for the inhabitants of that area,” NDN Collective has stated. “Violence is fundamental for the U.S. to maintain its presence, and the military is how they establish dominance domestically and internationally, wherever they may be.”

“The origin of the U.S. military and police is rooted in the establishment of informal militias composed of newly arrived settlers looking to make money and own land,” NDN continued. “The purpose of these informal militias however was not to keep the police or protect citizens, but to clear the land of as many Natives as possible by killing indiscriminately, and catching runaway enslaved Africans.”
