00:00Why is social media obsessing over this woman's weight loss?
00:03Her name is allegedly Zoe Kalotheos, and a recent image of her in a bikini has set off
00:07a heated round of discourse about her looks. Photos of Zoe have been spreading online since
00:11as early as 2021. The most popular photo shows Zoe holding a glass of wine and posing with a
00:17friend. Both are wearing tight dresses. In 2023, an anonymous user of 4chan's fitness board posted
00:23the photo with a red circle around Zoe's torso, writing,
00:26My girlfriend has a pouch-like pic, and it doesn't seem to go away no matter how hard
00:30she hits the gym. Is surgery my only hope? This post was screenshotted and started going
00:35viral in March 2025, when a user reposted it with the caption,
00:39Why do all women insist on skin-tight clothing, seemingly making fun of Zoe's weight?
00:43The judgmental post received some support but was largely met with backlash,
00:47as users made fun of the poster. One of the most popular examples is a response by
00:52ex-user Farrell PH Hunter, who suggested that the poster was gay for not liking the way she looked,
00:58gaining a whopping 700,000 likes over six months. The 4chan screenshot was also posted on the blatant
01:04misogyny subreddit, where it was met with over 1,400 upvotes. It was also featured in an article
01:10from the Mary Sue titled, Men are showing how much they dislike women by disgustingly commenting on our
01:16bodies. Now, Zoe's biggest offenders are coming together to mourn the loss of her so-called
01:21pouch, as a before and after photo allegedly showing off Zoe's weight loss goes viral. The
01:27image allegedly shows Zoe from the viral pouch photograph next to a newer photo said to be
01:33taken from her private Instagram page in a bikini. It's worth noting that the authenticity of the
01:39bikini photo is not confirmed, since Zoe is private. In the new photo, Zoe is noticeably pouch-free.
01:46This image was posted to 4chan in September 2025, where one user quickly commented,
01:51ban Ozempic, suggesting without proof that she's not only taking Ozempic, but that she looks worse
01:57after losing weight. The 4chan post has since spread across social media to sites like the
02:01moreplatesmoredates subreddit and x, where many users are echoing similar sentiments.
