Whoopi Goldberg and 'The View' co-hosts defended Kelly Clarkson after she received backlash for revealing she is taking a weight loss drug. Clarkson admitted on her show that she has been walking, but the negative online response was disappointing. The co-hosts argued that celebrities should be open about their weight loss habits, and that diets do not work. They also urged viewers to not judge others' weight loss actions and to let people do what they need to do to achieve their goals. Clarkson claimed that she lost all the weight thanks to diet and exercise.
