Katy Perry In Brazilian Bikini 'Looked Better With A Few Pounds' On

Katy Perry's weight was once again under the microscope earlier this year. In September, the "Lifetimes" singer jetted out to Brazil, where she showed off her bikini body from her hotel balcony while in Rio de Janeiro. Stripping down to a teeny two-piece in green and yellow, Katy showed off her staggering weight loss while thanking fans for their support, but she wasn't met with much love. When fans on The Daily Mail reacted to the video, they skinny-shamed the star, also alleging that she'd taken Ozempic to slim down.

Scroll for the video. Flaunting her tiny waist and toned shoulders from a spacious balcony, Katy appeared in good spirits, as she was filmed at night. Highlighting her cleavage in a stringy, halterneck bikini as she went itty-bitty, the American Idol alum dropped jaws with her abs and toned legs, completing her skimpy look with glam shades.

Wearing her dark hair down and layering on jewelry for a stylish finish, Katy told fans that Brazil was a "wrap," adding: "We love you so much, we will always be there for you time after time, just like you have been there for me time after time."

Also showing some cheek via her low-rise bottoms, Katy used her hands to pick petals off a pink rose as she spoke, lovingly throwing them off the balcony. While the post netted over 900,000 likes, it didn't receive positive reviews as users on The Daily Mail reacted.

"She's had her 5 minutes, and the desperate attempts to relive that past success can be seen a mile off. Massive turn-off," one user replied, gaining over 300 likes. Thinking that Katy had lost too much weight, another wrote: "Looked much better with a few more pounds on, she used to be stunning."

Elsewhere, users threw out mentions of weight loss drug Ozempic, something that Katy Perry has never admitted to taking. Over 330 fans have now upvoted a comment reading: "I don’t see why anyone would take credit for having an amazing figure or losing weight when they used Ozempic instead of controlling their lifestyle and working hard to achieve a healthier body. Isn’t it a bit like cheating because you couldn’t be bothered?"

Remarks weren't exclusively negative, though, with one fan dubbing the singer a 10/10.

Katy Perry donned the above look for this year's MTV VMAs. Dropping jaws with her oiled-up abs on display, she opted for the shredded trend, showing up in a layered, feathery maxi skirt and crop top in off-white.

Fans left the Instagram photo over 700,000 likes. Katy made her music comeback in July with her "Woman's World" track, but so far, her efforts to make it back into pop appear to have failed.
