TLC’s T-Boz denies Ozempic use after hospitalization due to ‘abdominal blockage’: ‘Ignorance is disheartening’

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins shut down speculation that she is one of the many celebs using the diabetes drug Ozempic to lose weight after she had to cancel recent concerts due to her having “abdominal blockage.”

“Everybody and every celeb ain’t on Ozempic,” the TLC member, 54, clarified in a video she posted on Instagram Wednesday.

“The ignorance is disheartening to me because I would just pray for people or if I have nothing to say, I would just shut the hell up and say nothing at all but y’all don’t know how to f–king do that.”

She then continued, “It just amazes me how negative the world is and it’s so sad, but since it’s out there, this can happen to any woman that has had a C-section or fibroids removed or any abdominal surgery.”

Last weekend, it was announced that TLC, which consists of Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, were “forced to cancel shows” in Syracuse, NY, and Foxwoods Resort Casino due to a “medical emergency.”

The statement posted on Instagram on Aug. 24 said that Watkins experienced “sudden and severe nausea, vomiting and intense abdominal cramps.”

The notice then shared that after being seen by doctors, the “No Scrubs” singer had been diagnosed with “severe abdominal blockage,” clarifying it was not because of food poisoning.

Watkins would have to remain in the hospital for “medical supervision,” the statement also said.

People on social media immediately began to speculate over what could have caused the “Waterfalls” singer’s health issues.

“Yeah I’m not taking that diabetes shot to lose weight that’s the side effect stomach paralyzed. Nope,” one person commented underneath the Shade Room’s Instagram post about the news, seemingly assuming Watkins had used the diabetes-turned-popular weight loss injection.

However, others pointed out that the Grammy winner has been battling sickle cell disease for decades, with one person adding, “Let’s continue to pray for her instead of making insensitive ‘jokes.'”

Watkins also said in her post Wednesday that while she appreciates the “love” and “prayers” she received, she did not intend for her private medical information to be released so publicly.

“I would have never put my business out there like that but I guess because I missed shows it had to be said,” the “Unpretty” singer said. “But I just don’t think it should have been so detailed.”

Watkins then further clarified that the root of her health problem was due to “scar tissue” on her outer intestine from a surgery that she had 24 years ago.

The “Meant to Be” singer concluded the clip by letting her fans know that she is “blessed, working again” and has been out of the hospital for three days, adding, “Life is great.”
