Taraji P. Henson's Dramatic Weight Loss Spark Concerns Amongst Fans: ‘She’s Never Been This Thin’

Taraji P. Henson, who has added Broadway producing to her impressive acting resume, stole the spotlight at the 2024 Tony Awards on Sunday.

She wore a striking gold scalloped gown by Oscar de La Renta, drawing attention to her noticeably slimmer figure.

Known for her Tony-nominated production, 'Jaja's African Hair Braiding,' Henson engaged the audience while fulfilling her role as a presenter during the prestigious awards ceremony.

Despite her captivating presence, some critics raised concerns about her slender appearance, speculating on possible reasons for her significant weight loss.

After the Washington, D.C. native shared a photo on Instagram of her evening gown and celebrated her film's five nominations, many of her 21.8 million followers expressed worry over her transformed appearance.

One follower asked, "Am I the only one noticing, or did you lose weight?" Additional queries surfaced, including someone else speculating, "Do I smell Ozempic?"

Another individual chimed in: "Exactly! She's never been this thin. And she has the 'Ozempic Face' as they call it."

Some fans came to the defense of the 53-year-old, claiming "Ozempic doesn't give muscles" and "she worked hard for that body! There are posts on her Instagram page showing her working out."

Henson has been actively pursuing her fitness goals, as evidenced by a video she posted on Instagram of her workout with Force Fitness on the same day as the awards show.

Praise poured in for her dedication, with comments like, "Thats grinding," "Gooooooo sis," and "I admire her determination so much!" Some admirers admitted, "I just can't put in the work like that."

The 2024 Tony Awards isn't the first time the Howard University graduate has made a stunning impression at award ceremonies this year.

In January, at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, the mother of one stole the spotlight in a sleek, strapless white gown with a bold thigh-high slit. Complementing her ensemble with a stylish bob haircut and bangs, she radiated timeless sophistication.

Henson has not publicaly addressed the speculation about her figure.
