Plus size travel influencer Jaelyn Chaney slammed the weight-loss drug Ozempic when she teamed up with a law firm to encourage people to sue the company.
Chaney took to TikTok to address the drug in a sponsored post, where she criticized the fact that it was fueled by “marketing campaigns and celebrity endorsements.”
“It was originally developed to control diabetes, but has since become a go-to solution for intentional weight loss,” she said, claiming that anyone who suffers side effects could be entitled to financial compensation.
The influencer said she was working with Allied Law to urge people to sue Ozempic and similar companies.
Her comments come months after Chaney sparked a backlash by demanding that airlines give obese travelers free seats on planes, suggesting that not being able to fit into a seat is “discrimination.”

Chaney previously came under scrutiny when she demanded that airlines give obese passengers extra seats for free
The influencer collected thousands of signatures on a petition for free extra seats, arguing that not being able to fit into a seat amounts to ‘discrimination’.
She admitted she did not know who would bear the cost of the changes, but suggested the Department for Transport had some responsibility to provide safe and comfortable travel for everyone.
Chaney’s sponsored post came after she achieved viral fame as a “plus size travel influencer.”
Most notably, last year she collected thousands of signatures on a petition demanding that airlines give free extra seats to obese passengers.
She wanted the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority to “protect” plus-size travelers and make coach flying “comfortable and accessible to all.”
Chaney also wants airlines to be forced to refund overweight passengers for any extra seats they have to buy when booking to accommodate their size.
“As plus-size travelers, my partner and I have unfortunately experienced discrimination and discomfort while flying,” she wrote in her petition.
All plus-size passengers should be provided with an additional vacant seat, or even two or three seats depending on their size, to meet their needs and ensure their comfort during the flight.”
Turning her attention to refunds, Chaney added: “Airlines should offer a refund to plus-size passengers who independently purchase additional seats. This should be a simple process that can be accessed online or through customer service.”
In her posts as a “plus size travel influencer,” Chaney has extensively documented her struggles with flying, from showing her and her boyfriend tightly packed into seats to revealing what some passengers have said to her, including whether she bought two chairs.
Chaney admitted that ticket prices would have to rise if she had her way, and that non-overweight passengers could face higher costs to help cover improvements.
“On a flight from Pasco to Denver, my fiancée was subjected to snide comments, disapproving looks, and even refusal to sit next to them, which amounted to discrimination.
‘Similarly, on another flight I had to occupy only one seat with fixed armrests, which caused me pain and bruises.’
In her other social media posts, Chaney has extensively documented her struggles while flying, from showing her and her boyfriend tightly packed into seats to revealing what some passengers have said to her, including asking if they should have two seats has bought.
