In the article, Gonzalez allegedly won a lawsuit filed against her by the National Alliance of Dieticians.
“Last month, the National Alliance of Dieticians filed a lawsuit against the well-known TV presenter and actress Beauty Gonzalez, claiming that after a television appearance where she talked about how she managed to lose weight so quickly after her second pregnancy, the number of people seeking the services of nutritionists and gyms drastically dropped,” the article read.
The article said Gonzalez supposedly attributed her weight loss to a supplement called Purple Mangosteen.
Gonzalez clarified that she is not associated with the product.

“This fake news was conceived and fabricated purely to deceive the public for commercial gain. Please be warned,” she added. /gsg
