Remi Bader Claps Back At Backlash Towards Her Weight Loss Reveal
Since Remi Bader shared the truth behind her weight-loss surgery earlier this week, the internet has had a range of reactions. However, not all have been positive, prompting the influencer to issue a response. Bader previously received her single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) procedure in fall 2023, which included a removal of 80% of her stomach. After over a year of speculation from fans and online critics, Bader ultimately opened up about her experience in a wide-ranging interview with Self—and the responses have led her to defend her decision in a new post on Instagram.
“Sharing something so personal again for the first time in a while, I was prepared for both backlash and support in terms of the decisions I had to make related to my health,” Bader said in her post. “But at the end of the day no one is changing how proud I am for myself for protecting my mental health and sticking to my boundaries at a time I was so low and so lost. And I will never regret that.”

The White Lotus Is In Hot Water With Duke University!
The White Lotus is stirring the pot for Duke University, according to Variety. The hit HBO drama’s third season has found financier dad Timothy (Jason Isaacs) under the influence of various substances, with a recent scene in episode 6 seeing him contemplating murder in a Duke T-shirt— which the university’s not too happy about. Following the episode, Duke’s vice president vice president of communications, marketing, and public affairs Frank Tramble spoke with the New York Times, stating the show “not only uses our brand without permission, but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling, does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far.” Yikes!
