Fans of the show yellow stone was shocked to see how different country music star Lainey Wilson looked in this weekend’s finale, when she took on the role of musical guest Abby.
The 32-year-old reportedly lost 70 pounds, with Wilson claiming she hired a personal trainer and started meal prepping to prioritize her health, according to Daily mail. Instead of eating fast food, Wilson maintains a diet that includes eating eggs, grilled chicken and yogurt.
The weight loss was especially surprising, as Wilson went viral for her curves while fans got a shot of her performing from behind. She addressed the controversy in an interview on Theo Von’s podcast, saying “They came to solve the problem. Honestly, I’m just trying to embrace it.”
Social networks reacted quite harshly to her change in appearance.
“Lainey Wilson losing her peach is one of the biggest scandals in country music,” wrote user X.
“No, sheee is thicker than homegrown Deep South booty,” said another.
Others have accused the star of using Ozempic.
One Wilson fan declared: “Ozempic will pay for his crimes against Lainey Wilson’s ass.” “After seeing what happened to Lainey Wilson’s butt on Ozempic, it’s a matter of national importance that we ban all weight loss pills.”
Fans weren’t the only ones surprised by Wilson’s appearance on the show. Lainey played Abby, a country music artist and love interest for Ryan, in the first half of the fifth season. When the country singer was asked Entertainment tonight about the end of yellow stone at the CMT Music Awards in April, she shared that she did not anticipate being in the show’s final few episodes.
“I’ll be honest with you. I would be shocked,” she said.
