Brittany Cartwright Responds to Body-Shamers After 20-Pound Weight Loss

Brittany Cartwright is opening up about her weight-loss journey and responding to the critics who commented on her appearance.

The Vanderpump Rules and The Valley star, 37, revealed on Instagram that she has lost 20 pounds through a partnership with telehealth company Fridays, which offers weight-loss treatments including GLP-1 medications. Sharing before-and-after photos, Cartwright said the negative comments about her body became motivation rather than discouragement.

“I saw all the body-shaming comments about me,” she said in the video. “But instead of pissing me off, they made me motivated.”

Cartwright documented her progress over several months, explaining that by month three she noticed the weight coming off and by month four she was “finally starting to feel like myself again.” She also showcased her fitness routine, including strength training.

Addressing questions from followers, Cartwright clarified that her recent weight loss was separate from the mommy makeover she underwent in October. She explained that she began using Fridays after her surgery and has since dropped two dress sizes.

The reality star previously revealed that her makeover included abdominal reconstruction, liposuction, a tummy tuck and a breast lift with smaller implants to address diastasis recti and post-pregnancy body changes after welcoming her son, Cruz, in 2021.

Speaking on her podcast When Reality Hits with Brittany Cartwright, she said the surgery was about rebuilding her confidence following a difficult period in her personal life.

“I did this for me. It was about my confidence,” Cartwright said, adding that she feels happier and more confident with her decision.
