Plus-size travel influencer Jaelyn Chaney has slammed weight loss drug Ozempic as she teamed up with a law firm to encourage people to sue the company.
Chaney took to TikTok to attack the drug in a sponsored post, in which she criticized it for being fueled by “marketing campaigns and celebrity endorsements.”
“It was originally developed to manage diabetes, but has since become a go-to solution for intentional weight loss,” she said, arguing that anyone who experienced side effects may be eligible for compensation financial.
The influencer said she teamed up with Allied Law to urge people to sue Ozempic and similar companies.
His remarks come months after Chaney sparked a backlash by demanding that airlines give free seats to obese travelers on planes, suggesting that not being able to sit in a seat is “discrimination.”

Chaney told her followers that anyone experiencing side effects from the drug, such as severe vomiting, may be eligible for financial compensation.
Chaney began his call against the weight loss drug by telling his 135,000 followers: “We need to have a conversation about Ozempic. »
After calling out “celebrity endorsers” supporting the drug, like Oprah Winfrey, she asked her followers, “Were you negatively affected after taking Ozempic?”
“If you or someone you care about experiences serious side effects after taking Ozempic, such as severe vomiting, you may be eligible for financial compensation,” she said.
“There are now hundreds of lawsuits against brands like Ozempic.”
She said she “partnered” with Allied Law to encourage others to join such lawsuits, noting that the law firm specializes in “those affected by harmful medications.”
“Bringing legal action against brands like Ozempic is now easier than ever,” Chaney continued. “If you want to take legal action now, just click the link in my bio. It’s super short and easy.
“Don’t let societal pressures to lose weight quickly jeopardize your well-being,” she concluded.
“Together, let’s hold brands like Ozempic accountable for the harm they cause.”
Chaney previously faced scrutiny when she asked airlines to give free extra seats to obese passengers.
The influencer gained thousands of signatures for a petition calling for free extra seats and said not being able to sit in a seat amounts to “discrimination”.
She admitted she did not know who would bear the cost of the changes, but suggested the Department for Transport had some responsibility to ensure safe and comfortable travel for all.
Chaney’s sponsored post came after she found viral fame as a “plus-size travel influencer.”
Last year, she obtained thousands of signatures for a petition demanding that airlines provide free extra seats to obese passengers.
She wanted the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority to “protect” tall travelers and make coach flights “comfortable and accessible to all.”
Chaney also wants airlines to be forced to reimburse overweight passengers for any extra seats they are forced to purchase when booking to accommodate their height.
“As tall travelers, my partner and I have unfortunately experienced discrimination and discomfort when flying,” she wrote in her petition.
All tall passengers should be provided with an extra free seat, or even two or three seats depending on their height, to meet their needs and ensure their comfort during the flight.
Turning his attention to refunds, Chaney added: “Airlines should offer a refund to plus-size passengers who purchase additional seats independently. This should be a simple process, accessible online or through customer service.
In her posts as a “plus-size travel influencer,” Chaney has extensively documented her struggles with flying, from showing her and her boyfriend squeezed into seats to what some passengers said to her, including asking her if she had bought two seats.
Chaney admitted that ticket prices would have to increase if she wanted to get what she wanted, and admitted that non-overweight passengers might face higher costs to cover the improvements.
“During a flight from Pasco to Denver, my fiancé was subjected to hateful comments, disapproving looks and even refusal to sit next to them, which amounts to discrimination.
“Similarly, on another flight, I was forced to occupy a single seat with immovable armrests, which caused me pain and bruising.”
In her other social media posts, Chaney has extensively documented her struggles with flying, from showing her and her boyfriend squeezed into seats to what some passengers said to her, including asking if she had purchased two seats .
