Turkish singer Demet Akalın revealed she nearly died after undergoing weight loss procedures, according to reports. The artist, who recently lost 11 kilograms (approximately 24 pounds), shared her experience following questions about her recent physique.
Akalın had previously announced she underwent surgery in May of last year and had lost weight through a combination of the procedure and dieting, including fat removal. Recent photos shared on her Instagram account, showcasing her toned abs, sparked conversation among fans.
Responding to a commenter who noted her physique rivaled that of someone who consistently works out, Akalın stated, “No darling, I couldn’t eat for two weeks from vomiting. I had a weight loss injection. Shhh, I almost died. Never again!”
The singer’s candid admission comes as weight loss trends and procedures continue to be a topic of discussion within the entertainment industry and beyond. Akalın’s experience serves as a cautionary tale about the potential risks associated with rapid weight loss methods.
