Honestly, people are way too quick to judge celebrities about their looks, and Mercy Johnson is the perfect example right now. She lost a ton of weight because of her thyroid surgery and health struggles, but instead of asking if she’s okay, people just start gossiping or assuming the worst. I see it online all the time—comments about her body or fake sympathy with zero understanding of what she’s actually going through.

I've had friends go through health stuff and totally change how they look, and people still just focus on the outside. It's like, unless you're screaming your problems to the world, no one stops to think maybe there’s more going on. Mercy Johnson even said herself she now has to live with being on medication forever. That’s a big deal, and honestly, I think people should back off unless they’re actually trying to support her. She’s still the same amazing actress—just going through some rough stuff. If anything, her opening up like this makes me respect her more.
