Cathy Hummels condemns weight loss medication advertising request

German presenter Cathy Hummels has expressed outrage after receiving a commercial inquiry to promote a weight loss medication. Hummels, 38, described the request as “abartig” (disgusting) during an interview with RTL.

The moderator criticized the insensitivity of the offer, noting that she has been vocal for years about her personal history with eating disorders. She emphasized that such requests are particularly problematic given the impact weight loss products can have on vulnerable women and young girls. Hummels shared her reaction on Instagram, stating she would never use such a product herself and found the solicitation of her services for this purpose to be shocking.
