Bravo reality star Emira D’Spain, 27, is speaking out after a shocking food shaming incident on the July 8 episode of Next Gen NYC, where castmates mocked her meal and joked about Ozempic, despite her past struggles with disordered eating.

“Not gonna lie, it was hard for me to watch. I’ve been open about my past struggles with an eating disorder — so to have someone mock what I’m eating and make a joke about Ozempic was incredibly cringeworthy,” the model stated online.  

In a clip from the Bravo series, cast members shame D’Spain after she declines to join a group seafood boil and instead indulges in a meal from Red Robin. Her choice draws raised eyebrows — and worse.

“No one should ever be shamed for what’s on their plate,” the 27-year-old said. 

D’Spain explained that she doesn’t like seafood and hadn’t eaten all day, so she ordered something else. However, once her order arrives and she begins unpacking her mozzarella sticks, castmates Georgia McCannon, 24,  Riley Burruss, 22, Brooks Marks, 25, and Chloe Marks, 23, watch with visible judgment.

That Ozempic Headache Is Real — Here’s How To Beat It

McCannon, a brand and events creative strategist, gawks at D’Spain’s food, says “eww,” and covers her mouth in disgust, while the others stand by and laugh. 

D’Spain’s body language shifts quickly as she realizes her meal has become the punchline, despite her castmates knowing about her past struggles with an eating disorder. 

The Mayo Clinic describes eating disorders as “serious health conditions that affect both your physical and mental health. These conditions include problems in how you think about food, eating, weight and shape, and in your eating behaviors.”

Adding insult to injury, McCannon then quips, “The Ozempic is wearing off,” a jab that struck a nerve with the model.

“No one’s private medical information should ever be used against them,” the Victoria’s Secret model declared.  

Ozempic has gained popularity as a weight loss medication, helping many shed pounds, despite its original purpose for “adults with type 2 diabetes to lower their blood sugar levels,” according to Drugs.com. 

D’Spain — the first Black trans model to represent Victoria’s Secret and Bravo’s first full-time trans cast member — uses her platform to break barriers and remind others to respect people’s boundaries, bodies, and experiences. 

“For anyone who’s ever felt unsafe or judged around food or their body, I see you. I’m with you. You’re perfect. Eat whatever makes you happy,” the beauty influencer continued.

Aldi, the nationwide grocery chain, has issued a recall of several products sold at its stores across 37 states. According to Newsweek, the recalls include vitamin products, as well as several popular snacks and meals. Consumers have been told to “discard” products

Aldi has announced that vitamin supplier RV Pharma has recalled its Welby Vitamin B12 product. Per Newsweek, the company issued the recall after failing to disclose that the product may be harmful for people with allergies. People who bought the vitamin brand are urged to return it to the store for a full refund. Welby Vitamin B12 was sold across 37 states.

What food items did Aldi recall?

The recalled food items from Aldi include Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos, which was flagged for possible metal contamination. The taquitos were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Aldi also collaborated with Cargill Meat Solutions Corp to recall Park Street Deli Pork Carnitas, another item that may have metal contamination. In addition, the Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing have been recalled due to undeclared soy; it was sold in California, Nevada and Arizona. Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream were removed from shelves because it may contain undeclared milk.

Have any illneses been reported?

No illnesses have been reported so far, but customers are still advised to avoid consuming any of the recalled products.

“While ALDI is committed to providing only the best quality at the lowest prices, our top priority is the safety of you and your family,” Aldi said in a statement, per Newsweek. “From developing stringent standards to working with trusted manufacturers on product quality and testing, every measure possible is taken to fulfill that promise.”
