Following the successful release of Part 1 of Cobra Kai Season 6 on July 18, 2024, actress Mary Mouser has become the center of unwelcome attention, with fans speculating about a possible pregnancy due to alleged weight gain.
Key Takeaways
- Mary Mouser is facing a barrage of rumors as fans comment on her weight and speculate about an unlikely pregnancy.
- Mouser was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 13.
Playing the role of Samantha LaRusso as a full-time cast member since season 1 of the Netflix show “Cobra Kai,” spectators across social media platforms have been brutal regarding her weight.
Despite no evidence suggesting Mary Mouser is pregnant, fans have commented on her body for years, with recent remarks criticizing her role in the series.
Mary Mouser of @CobraKaiSeries packed on a ton of weight. You would think that being a main character in a show about martial arts, you would at least make some effort of being in shape

For someone like Mouser, who had to pave her way up from scratch to be able to do Karate on the show, getting such kind of comments should definitely be heart-wrenching.
As she quoted,
“I was truly the most uncoordinated, unskillful stunt person you’ve ever met, and I feel like I now at least am to a point where I can decently hold my own, and I feel confident, and I feel powerful when it comes doing karate on the show”

Besides, Mary was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 13, which brought in issues like weight fluctuation, increased appetite, constant and excessive dehydration, and consistently being sick with different colds or flu.
She even shared her struggle on Instagram, reflecting on a decade of living with diabetes.
According to Diabetes UK, if a person has type 1 diabetes and starts taking insulin, they might start to put on weight as insulin is a growth hormone.
While this might be a plausible cause for Mary’s seeming differences in body shape, it is evident that she is very active and feels confident while doing Karate on the show.
Despite the illness, Mouser has been pushing through everyday life and stepping out of her comfort zone.
With Mouser’s fighter spirit, it is not ideal for people to speculate and criticize her strength, let alone assume she is pregnant.
Some fans across social media platforms have also advocated against people’s criticism, explaining how beautiful and talented she is.
Also double middle fingers once again to everyone who made fun of her weight over the past few months.
