Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Jazz Jennings, known for her popular Discovery+ reality show, I Am Jazz, took to Instagram on July 29 to share a glowing video of herself in a sparkling dress with the tagline, “If someone says you’re too much, tell them to find less.” The video was immediately flooded by fans who praised Jazz for her incredible physical transformation.

Since sharing, fans have been awestruck by the 23-year-old’s journey, offering inspirational statements such as, “Jazz, your weight loss is so inspiring!!! “You have been stunning no matter what you wear, what you weigh, or what you say… but hearing you speak confidently about yourself is your most beautiful look ever!” while another fan shared,”I love you Jazz!! You have been a role model in my life for so long. I hope we can meet one day!”

To cap off the positive comments was a supportive quote from her brother, Sander Jennings, where he wrote “Slay all day!!!”.

Back in early June, Jazz shared a photo documenting her weight loss journey as well as commenting on the societal expectations of body images. She wrote, “I hope you’re happy with yourself. Who cares what you weigh? Who cares what you look like? The important thing is, are you happy in your own skin?”.

The influencer has stolen the hearts of many as fans have watched Jazz navigate high school, young adulthood, and the challenges and successes that have followed. On Season 7 of her hit show, I Am Jazz, she shared, “Seeing myself weigh 234 pounds, it’s devastating. It’s pretty heartbreaking to realize, like, wow, I did this to myself.”
