00:00Dog the Bounty Hunter has 13 children, but fans have a particular connection with his
00:05daughter Bonnie Chapman, who is occasionally on her dad's reality series.
00:10They've noticed that she looks like a brand new person in recent social media videos.
00:14Bonnie was a child when she made most of her appearances on the show, but she has dealt
00:19with a lot of fat-shaming over the years.
00:21For example, in 2019, the then-20-year-old outed an Instagram follower who had criticized
00:27her weight, not long after her mother, Beth Chapman, died from cancer.
00:31The message read,
00:32"'You need to lose some weight and get in shape there, buddy boy.
00:35Stop getting all stupid f----- tattoos.
00:37You look like a f----- mongoloid.'"
00:40Despite the negativity from some of her fans, Bonnie has always presented as quite confident
00:44on social media.
00:45For example, the reality star showed off her winning smile in an Instagram post during
00:51winter break in 2023.
00:53A few weeks before that, she posted an equally gorgeous shot of herself posing in front of
00:58a wall of purple wildflowers, writing,
01:00"'Love is like wildflowers.
01:02It's often found in the most unlikely places.'"
01:05Less than a year later, Bonnie was showing off a pretty dramatic weight loss.
01:09She took to Instagram to update her followers on her weight loss journey, which she originally
01:14announced back in April in what seems to be a sponsored partnership with a company called
01:18Morph Wellness.
01:20I've lost 58 pounds in the last 10 months thanks to Tirzeptide and Morph Wellness."
01:26Bonnie explained that Tirzepacide is a semaglutide, a type of injectable drug that lots of people
01:31have used of late for weight loss.
01:33Popular semaglutide products include Ozempic and Wegovi.
01:37Tirzepacide in particular is sold under the brand names Munjaro and ZepBound.
01:43Bonnie told her followers that losing weight has been particularly difficult for her because
01:47she has polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal condition.
01:51But the medication has made a huge difference.
01:54I probably have not weighed this much since I was prepubescent."
01:58Bonnie shared that she has started eating healthier as well, and is now proud of what
02:02she sees in the mirror.
02:04She said she doesn't plan to lose any more weight.
02:06I am at my goal weight.
02:08I don't know if I would want to be any skinnier."
02:12She's also been showing off her weight loss on TikTok, where she bragged about being hounded
02:16because of a Christmas-themed gingerbread scent she was wearing.
02:19The most interesting part of the video, though, is how different Bonnie looks compared to
02:23a few months ago.
02:24With her hair pulled back, the loss of volume in her face is extra clear.
02:28She looks amazing either way, though it's great that she seems to have chosen the best
02:33route for herself.
