Take That legend Robbie Williams fears Mounjaro jabs are making him go blind - "I was like, 'What the f*** is happening?"
Robbie Williams has opened up about his fears that weight loss jabs Mounjaro are making him go blind.
Former Take That star Robbie Williams fears Mounjaro jabs - helping him lose weight - are making him go blind. The star, 51, said he is convinced the medication is having an impact on his eyesight - and confessed he finds it hard to see fans during his shows.
"I was quite an early adopter of the jabs but what I'm also noticing is that my eyesight's not very good,” the Let Me Entertain You singer told The Sun. "It's been blurry for a while now, and it's only getting worse. I don't believe it's age; I believe it's the jabs.
"I went to an American football game the other night and the players were just blobs on a green field in front of me. And I was like, 'What the f*** is happening?'
"And on my most recent tour, there's this thing I do where I sing She's The One to a girl every night. Basically, I was looking in the direction of these women looking up at me, having this experience that's quite obviously incredible to them, and little do they know, I can't see them."
Robbie added: "I've been to the optician about it but didn't mention the Mounjaro as I hadn't made the connection then. My prescription's changed, and I had to buy a whole new load of glasses. Everybody's experiencing it, because I'll say to people, 'Blurry, right?'. And they go, 'Oh s***, that's the thing?'
"Of course it's worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research. But seriously, I'm that sick I'd probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone."
Despite impacting his sight, Robbie has felt far less "mental anguish" since he started having the weight-loss jabs and that their impact has been “completely and utterly liberating”.
"And maybe that's got something to do with my continuous upward curve into feeling actually all right on the planet,” he went on. "For the longest time, mentally, I've not been very well. And it would seem that in the last 10 years, the clouds have cleared, and I'm a different person.
"I'm one of those people that likes working out now: Stretching, discipline, taking care of myself. Every morning I get up and do some mobility stuff on my back. Then I do a hundred dips, 200 press-ups, 100 squats every day and just loads of core stuff. Now I want to be able to do pull-ups."
