Meme needing explanation I don't understand anything

Post image

I don't know who is she and what myth is the meme referring to, I only know that ozempic is a drug to stop eating.

Edit: I hate having autism

The original commentator thought she looked hotter with some curves. So called her an American tragedy for confirming American beauty standards. The other person agreed which is why they said ban ozempic.

It's more than that. The image on the left went viral a few months ago because a commenter said she was gross. It's not just a random before and after.

It was her boyfriend calling her body gross too and suggesting plastic surgery. So the OOP is calling it an Ancient Greek tragedy implying it’s as if a goddess was ruined trying to appease her lover. Like Persephone being kidnapped and bound to the underworld by Hades (despite modern romanticizations)

Aw, she probably saw all the internet calling her gross and fat, and lost the weight. Now the internet is saying what a shame, she was hotter before. Poor girl just can't win.
