Randy Jackson is allegedly suffering after losing over half of his weight in recent years.

An unnamed source told National Enquirer that Jackson used to weigh about 358 pounds, but he dropped his weight to 145 pounds.

While some people might think that he’s healthier these days, the source insisted that this isn’t the case because Jackson seemed to have lost too much weight.

As a result, his legs look like toothpicks and his cheeks are also sunken.

“Randy appeared extremely thin and unhealthy looking. His legs look like toothpicks and his cheeks are sunken. You can tell Randy is really suffering. Simon Cowell and Paul Abdul spent a lot of time with Randy at Kelly’s ceremony, but it sadly seemed like more like a goodbye,” the source said.

The source added that Abdul seemed to be in tears because she was worried about her good friend.

“Paula was nearly in tears wondering if Randy’s life is in danger and if this would be the last time the three of them would be together,” the source said.

In the past, Jackson has been very vocal about his struggles with diabetes and other health issues. And this could be one of the reasons why he decided to lose a considerable amount of weight.

Of course, dieting and eating healthier meals means Jackson’s body and appearance would also change.

However, the same doctor that the tabloid always consults with claimed that Jackson’s health issues are more severe because of his diabetes.

“Diabetes damages every cell in your body to increase the risk for heart attacks. Diabetes causes severe motor and sensory nerve damage, so he may have already lost coordination and uses the cane to help prevent falling,” the source said.

However, it is important to note that Jackson has always been honest and vocal about his health issues. In fact, he admitted that he suffers from diabetes years ago.

So, if he’s dealing with anything more serious, he would most likely share it with his fans. But the fact that he hasn’t said anything proves that the tabloid is just exaggerating Jackson’s health issues.

Losing weight and changing one’s appearance are common side effects when a person exercises and eats healthily. And this is what Jackson has been doing in recent years.
