Lottie Moss slams ‘heroin chic’ trend made famous by supermodel sister Kate and lauds ‘body positivity’… after revealing she overdosed on Ozempic
Lottie Moss criticises the ‘heroin chic’ style made famous by her supermodel sister.
The nineties trend that made Kate Moss famous: pale skin, slicked-back hair and – infamously – an extremely thin figure, has made a comeback in recent years.
However, Lottie, who has just resolved a three-year feud with her sibling, admitted that this is not a trend she is joining, calling for more ‘body positivity’.
Speaking in her podcast Dream onthe 26-year-old model mused: ‘We don’t want to go back to this heroin-chic trend that’s coming back now, something that happened in the ’90s.’
‘This shouldn’t be a trend now… Where has body positivity gone?’

Lottie, who looked happy and healthy as she attended the 4th and Reckless fashion show on Thursday, added: ‘I don’t understand it because we were doing so well.
‘Curvy girls ate and it became more and more of a trend to be curvier and sexier. Now it’s back to that heroin chic, not eating, super, super thin.
‘And if that’s your body type and you’re naturally very thin, then you’re excluded.
‘Just be happy with your weight and be happy that you have a body that functions and works, instead of doing something like that to it.
‘It could be very harmful to your body in the future.’
Lottie’s comments came after Kate revealed how much criticism she has received for her appearance, with people reportedly stopping her in the street and accusing her of promoting eating disorders.
She said in a new Disney+ documentary: “Parents would come up to me and say, ‘My daughter has anorexia.’ It was horrible.
“I think it’s just because I was skinny, and people weren’t used to seeing skinny. But if I had been a little bit fuller, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. It’s just that my body shape was different than the models before me.”
Lottie and Kate’s relationship soured after she started modelling for OnlyFans, but they recently got back together and celebrated their father’s 80th birthday together last week.
Elsewhere in the chat, Lottie revealed she had to be admitted to hospital after taking an overdose of Ozempic.
The model was seriously ill. She suffered an epileptic seizure and severe dehydration after taking the drug. She weighed only 60 kg at the time.
She said she would rather “die” than have to take Ozempic again, a drug designed to treat people with obesity or diabetes that is in short supply worldwide.
Lottie recalls the attack, which was caused by severe dehydration, saying that squeezing her face and hands together was one of the “scariest” experiences she has ever had.
She said there were “little things I wish I had known before she took the drug” and reported that her weight had dropped to about 110 pounds (53 kg) in a few weeks.
After being examined by medical professionals, Lottie was told that the dose of Ozempic she was injecting into her leg should also be prescribed for someone weighing at least 100kg – almost double her weight.
Lottie explains: ‘A few months ago I was unhappy with my weight. I had a friend and she was able to sort it out for me.
“It was unacceptable, from a doctor, but it wasn’t like you go to a doctor’s office and he writes you a prescription, takes your blood pressure and does tests, which is what you need when you’re taking something like Ozempic.
‘Ultimately it is a drug, it is dangerous and it is actually intended to make people of very large build lose weight.
“When I took it, the amount I took was meant for people weighing 100 pounds or more, while I’m in my 50s.”
Lottie recently revealed that she suffered a seizure during an emergency visit to hospital after taking a high dose of Ozempic for two weeks, leaving her seriously ill
Lottie continued: ‘It’s these little things that I wish I had known before I took it. But I took it, you inject it into your leg, and it was the worst decision I’ve ever made.
“This is a warning to everyone. If you’re thinking about taking it, don’t take it, it’s absolutely not worth it.”
The OnlyFans star described the severe side effects she experienced from using the drug, including vomiting, loss of color in her face and dramatic weight loss.
Lottie said she weighed around 130 pounds before dropping to 135 pounds after her first dose and at her lowest point she weighed 115 pounds, which is just over 100 pounds.
