Kelly Clarkson Admits to Taking Weight-Loss Drug, Alec Baldwin's Criminal Charges Battle Intensifies

Kelly Clarkson reveals she has been taking a weight-loss drug amidst health concerns, while Alec Baldwin's legal team fights to dismiss his criminal charges in the "Rust" shooting case.

Kelly Clarkson has openly admitted to using a weight-loss drug after her blood work results raised concerns. The singer shared her experience on her talk show, explaining that she had been trying to lose weight through diet and exercise, but it wasn't working.

"My blood work got so bad that my doctor said, 'We've got to figure out something,' so I went on this medicine that, it's just something that helps you lose weight," Clarkson said.

She emphasized that she is not promoting the drug or recommending it to anyone, but rather sharing her personal experience with it. Clarkson also acknowledged that she has lost weight and that she feels better overall.

"It's not like a miracle drug, but it definitely helps me. I'm down 8 lbs. now, so I'm at 130 lbs., which is really cool," she said.

Alec Baldwin's legal team is engaged in a heated battle to have the involuntary manslaughter charges against him dismissed in the "Rust" shooting case. The actor's lawyers argued that the prosecution has failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the charges.

Baldwin's team has filed a motion to dismiss the charges, claiming that the prosecution's theory of the case is "fatally flawed" and that there is no basis for the involuntary manslaughter charges.

The prosecution, however, is standing by its charges and arguing that Baldwin was reckless in handling the firearm on the set of "Rust." The prosecution also maintains that Baldwin was ultimately responsible for the safety of everyone on set.

"The evidence shows that Alec Baldwin was reckless in his handling of the firearm and that his recklessness led to the death of Halyna Hutchins," said Andrea Reeb, the special prosecutor in the case.
