Chrissy Metz said online criticism of her body remains relentless even after her weight loss, telling "The Tamsen Show" that "it doesn't matter what you do" because people will always comment.
The 45-year-old actress said she initially feared GLP-1 medication but changed course after her father died from obesity complications, pushing her to "do something about it."
Metz said the drug helped quiet constant "food noise" in her mind, making her feel better and reframing her struggle as partly chemical, metabolic and hereditary.
The "This Is Us" star, now appearing in Broadway's "& Juliet," described ignoring the criticism and continuing to live publicly as "an act of rebellion."
Her comments come as she also discusses the treatment publicly on "Today" and partners with telehealth company Ro, which offers weight-loss medications.
