In the realm of celebrities grappling with health and weight concerns, it seems that the story of Gracie McGraw, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s daughter, is a tale as old as time – or at least, as old as Hollywood. Her journey with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and her use of medications like Ozempic has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least.
One hot topic everyone in Hollywood still seems to be talking about that isn’t Traylor? Oh-oh-oh Ozempic.
Originally developed for managing Type 2 diabetes, Ozempic – a medication named semaglutide that received FDA approval in 2017 – has recently gained popularity as a weight loss solution. Similar to other wellness trends that have stirred controversy in the past, this trend has sparked debate, particularly after the FDA reported a shortage of the drug in 2022 due to increased demand.
Initially, Variety announced that celebrities started utilizing an insulin drug for rapid weight loss, although numerous stars, rumored to be using it, have swiftly dismissed these speculations.
For example, Lizzo spoke about her recent weight loss on social media, saying “After 5 months of rigorous weight training and a consistent calorie deficit, I’ve faced accusations about using Ozempic.
In a 2024 episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” I shared that I’m not particularly fond of a specific medication, but I am currently using something to assist in processing sugars, as my body seems to struggle with this naturally.
Meanwhile, Amy Schumer disclosed that she had experimented with Ozempic a couple of years back (“I was one of those individuals who felt so unwell and couldn’t play with my son,” she confessed). She also criticized Hollywood celebrities for not acknowledging if they have undergone similar experiences.
It’s true that some celebrities like Chelsea Handler and Tracy Morgan have openly discussed their experiences with a certain drug. However, others such as Khloe Kardashian and Kyle Richards of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” have firmly refuted speculations linking them to Ozempic.
A representative from Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, previously stated to TopMob News that Ozempic is not designed for long-term weight management. Instead, it’s primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of severe cardiovascular events in adults with this condition.
Here are the stars who have sounded off on the Ozempic craze in Hollywood:
Following rumors on social media that Lizzo might have been using Ozempic for weight loss after she posted a slimmer image, the Grammy winner responded with a video synchronized to a popular TikTok sound byte from Christoph Waltz’s character in “Django Unchained”, saying, “It feels like a reward”.
Kate Moss‘ little sis revealed why getting on Ozempic was “the worst decision I ever made,” during a September 2024 episode of her Dream On podcast.
Following consumption of a dose intended for individuals weighing about 220 lbs or higher, the model experienced severe difficulties in retaining food and water, ultimately leading to a visit to the emergency room.
She confessed that she experienced a seizure due to extreme dehydration, which turned out to be the most terrifying event in her life. Her friend had to keep her feet still because it was such a frightening ordeal. The entire situation was petrifying; my face was clenching, and my body was rigid with fear.
In an interview with Page Six in April 2024, a former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 revealed that he shed 32 pounds over a period of just two months by using semaglutide injections, which is the generic variant of Ozempic.
“You know what’s annoying?” he said. “The regret of not starting it 10 years ago.”
In a post on her blog published in March 2024, the star of The Pioneer Woman revealed that she didn’t lose her 50-pound weight reduction in 2022 through using Ozempic or any other medication.
She stated, “However, I will never pass judgment on individuals who decide to take that pathway.
In August 2023, the former star of “30 Rock” mentioned during an interview on “Today With Hoda and Jenna” that he had shed pounds by using Ozempic, as it helped reduce his hunger.
In March 2024, it seemed like his health journey took an unexpected twist. On the Jimmy Fallon show, he remarked, “I’ve mastered eating more than Ozempic allows.” This resulted in a weight gain of 40 pounds for him.
Towards the end of that month, he explained to TopMob News that his previous statement was a joke. He also mentioned that Ozempic had been beneficial for him and he was pleased to have used it.
In a candid conversation, the star of “The Real Housewives of Dubai” discussed her decision to start taking Ozempic following a period she described as a “midlife awakening” at age 45.
In the May 22nd episode of her podcast “Uncut & Uncensored With Caroline Stanbury“, she mentioned that after turning 40, losing weight becomes incredibly challenging. However, she’s encountered numerous women aged 40 who ask, “How have you managed it?” Honestly, I was using Ozempic, a tool I believe is quite effective if you can utilize it.
During a July 2024 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” the star of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” clarified that she isn’t taking Ozempic, but instead opted for Mounjaro. She playfully apologized and admitted, “I’m sorry! I’ve been loving this weight, I truly do! You can see my energy level if you haven’t noticed.
Former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” disclosed her unsuccessful effort to shed pounds using an injectable treatment.
In her words from June 2024, she shared that the diet didn’t suppress her hunger. She mentioned that while some people claim to struggle with eating, she herself was enjoying appetizers, a full meal, and dessert. She emphasized that this diet didn’t affect her eating habits in any way. When she observed it helping others but not herself, she admitted feeling discouraged. This made her question whether there might be something wrong with her or why it wasn’t working for her specifically.
In her conversation with Fox News Digital, she mentioned that she’s not qualified to discuss it medically, but she emphasized that there’s a wealth of information available on its effectiveness and ineffectiveness. She believes Ozempic offers significant advantages, yet she also acknowledges potential risks associated with it.
In 2017, after giving birth to her son Beau, the character from Beverly Hills, 90210 resorted to using a particular drug as an aid for weight loss.
In a 2024 episode of my podcast, misSPELLING, I openly discussed my experience with Ozempic not being effective for me. However, I switched to Mounjaro and it indeed helped me shed some pounds, making it a positive change for me.
The actress emphasized to Francesca Amiker of TopMob News that it’s crucial to recognize that specific medications are designed for specific individuals, and not to misuse them merely for fashion or excessive reasons.
Raven added, “Go ahead and do as you must, but remember to keep the medicine reserved for those truly requiring it.
In a broadcast on Talk U.K. during September 2023, the host shared that she lost approximately 42 pounds by taking Ozempic earlier in the year.
She confidently shared with TopMob News that the decision is entirely yours to make. Using a weight-loss aid, if that’s what you prefer, is nothing to be ashamed of and is completely acceptable.
She added, “We don’t have to bulls–t.”
Sharon’s daughter has also weighed in on the Ozempic trend.
In an interview with TopMob News back in January 2024, the former Fashion Police member expressed her astonishment. She suggested that there are numerous methods to shed pounds, and she found it refreshing to opt for a weight loss approach that wasn’t as mundane as exercise.
The actress famed for playing the lead role in the “Titanic” movie, who had previously faced media scrutiny regarding her weight, expressed her thoughts on the current weight loss craze.
In her interview with The New York Times Magazine in March 2024, Kate openly acknowledged, “To be honest, I’m not familiar with Ozempic. The only thing I really know about it is that it seems to be a medication of some sort that people are using.
“Oh, my God,” Kate remarked after learning about the injectable. “This sounds terrible.”
In December 2023, the actress known as The Hills disclosed that she had shed 22 pounds without using Ozempic. Speaking candidly to Page Six, she stated, “Life doesn’t offer any shortcuts, and if someone is opting for those, I’m not sure about it.” She declined to mention specific names but emphasized that such a choice was not something she would ever consider.
Heidi mentioned, “I’m looking for something that’s sustainable and will need effort as well.
During her June 8, 2023 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” the star of “Trainwreck” didn’t mince words when she publicly criticized celebrities for not being truthful about their use of Ozempic as a weight loss aid.
“Everyone and their mom is gonna try it. Everyone has been lying saying, ‘Oh, smaller portions,'” she told Andy Cohen, who has also publicly weighed in on the Ozempic craze multiple times. “Like, shut the f–k up. You are on Ozempic or one of those things, or you got work done. Just stop.”
Schumer, who is honest about her previous surgical interventions, remarked, “Always be truthful. When I had liposuction, I openly admitted that I had liposuction.
She confessed to quickly taking a keen interest in Ozempic in 2022, yet clarified that it was difficult for her to continue using the Type 2 diabetes medication because it limited her time with her 5-year-old son named Gene.
In her recollection, Schumer mentioned she was among those who felt incredibly unwell to the point of not being able to engage in playtime with her son. At that time, she was noticeably thin, and even when he tossed a ball at her, she struggled to participate.
Dr. Drew shared with TopMob News at Fox’s Special Forces season two event in LA on September 12, 2023, that people tend to feel ambivalent about interventions like these. They are intrigued by them, but there’s also a sense of apprehension or unease.
He went on to say, “Should there be a treatment option beneficial for them, they ought to seriously consider it.
Forget winter, a hot take is coming.
The former star of “Game of Thrones” didn’t hesitate to express her views on Ozempic and the way it is promoted.
On April 5, 2023, an Instagram post by the actress shared a tweet from author Sophie Vershbow that said, “The Ozempic ads covering the subway station in Times Square should disappear entirely.” In the photos accompanying her tweet, one advertisement displayed the message, “Just one shot to lose weight,” while another had text suggesting, “Lose weight with a weekly injection.
Turner adding her own commentary, writing, “WTF.”
Previously, the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk communicated with TopMob News that Ozempic hasn’t been given approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for long-term weight management purposes.
As a lifestyle expert, I want to clarify that while some healthcare professionals might prescribe Ozempic for weight loss, it’s important to note that Novo Nordisk does not advocate, recommend, or encourage the use of our medications outside of their approved uses. We strictly adhere to all U.S. laws and regulations regarding the promotion of our products.
For the comedian, Ozempic isn’t something to joke about. Handler discovered that her “doctor focusing on anti-aging” had prescribed this medicine without her knowledge of its true identity.
During the January 25, 2023 episode of Call Her Daddy, she casually mentioned, ‘I didn’t realize I was on it,’. She further added, ‘If you’re looking to shed about five pounds, this is a good option.’
But while she tried the drug, Handler noted that she didn’t like how it made her feel.
After returning from my holiday, I gave myself an injection of it, she reminisced. A few days later, at lunch with a friend, she said, “I’m not really eating anything, I feel so queasy, I’m on Ozempic.” To which I replied, “I feel a bit queasy too,” but I had recently returned from Spain and was still dealing with jet lag.
Ultimately, Handler stopped using the drug because it wasn’t medically necessary for her, adding that she gave away the remaining doses to friends.
She mentioned that she had given Ozempic, a medication typically used for obese individuals, to around four or five of her friends, as she found it unnecessary. In simpler terms, she explained that she didn’t want to use the drug herself because it seemed irrational, so instead, she offered it to her visitors during their visits by saying, “I can see you at 1, I can see you at 2,” meaning she could accommodate them at specific times throughout the day.
Khloe Kardashian clapped back when commenters on Instagram speculated that she was taking Ozempic.
In a post from January 2023, Kardashian stated, “Please don’t underestimate my years of dedication to working out. Every weekday morning, I wake up at 6am for exercise. Let’s refrain from making assumptions about me. It seems that the start of a new year still brings out some unkind individuals.
Besides admitting his temporary usage of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro back in January 2023, Dubrow also shared insights on how it impacts the human body.
The star of Botched expressed how astonishing he found it. He mentioned that he wasn’t significantly overweight, but out of curiosity since many of his patients were on it and to get a firsthand experience, he decided to try it when one isn’t diabetic and the weight loss goal is only between 10 to 15 pounds.
Dr. Dubrow chose not to reveal the amount of weight he shed or the duration he took the medication, yet he made clear that he is no longer dependent on it now.
He stated his reasoning for stopping the medication, saying, “I felt like I missed having an appetite again, so I decided to stop.” He also mentioned that he had been experiencing a mild feeling of nausea.
The actress from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” addressed rumors that she had been using a particular medication due to her followers noticing her weight loss on social media, and she spoke candidly about the matter.
Richard responded to a user’s comment on an Instagram post from January 5, 2023, featuring himself and his friends following a workout, stating, “I am absolutely not using Ozempic.” In another reply, he emphasized, “I have never used it.
In response to the rumors spread by Page Six on January 16th, the Bravo star firmly dismissed them, making it clear that she is not using the specified medication as stated in the post.
After fans questioned whether or not she was taking Ozempic, Jessica set the record straight.
In an interview published on July 6, 2023, she expressed to Bustle, “Well, you know, it isn’t Ozempic; it’s self-control. I think, are people suggesting I return to drinking? That was when I was heavier. Or do they want me to have another child? My body just can’t manage that.
Nassif echoed his Botched costar in giving the drug two thumbs up.
As he openly states, there’s no need for criticism towards Ozempic usage,” Nassif shared exclusively with TopMob News in February 2024. “I fully support it. In fact, I’ve seen many of my friends, including Terry over the weekend, who look amazing and feel healthier. Their blood sugars and blood pressure have decreased, which could potentially contribute to a longer lifespan, but it must be used correctly.
As a dedicated follower, I’m excited to share that renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Nassif, mentioned exploring Ozempic for potential anti-aging benefits in addition to its weight management properties. This means there could be more positive outcomes as we delve deeper into the realm of semaglutides and various products associated with it.
This Shah isn’t shy about her Ozempic use.
In a candid conversation with Entertainment Tonight in May 2023, Gharachedaghi chose not to conceal her use of medication during her health journey. Instead, she opted to openly discuss it, acknowledging that many others might wish to share their experiences or learn from hers.
The “Shahs of Sunset” star attributed her 30-pound weight loss, achieved with Semaglutide, by saying, “Clearly, I didn’t look this way just two months ago. To claim that I stopped drinking alcohol and suddenly started working out intensely is not truthful.
Gharachedaghi further mentioned that she remains with an appetite, expressing it as, “Truthfully, I’m feeling a bit peckish. By the way, I think I’ll have a quick puff of something and then I’ll certainly have something to eat.
As a devoted follower, I’d like to share my personal experience: I found that using Ozempic for managing my type 2 diabetes had an adverse impact on my general wellbeing.
On the January 12, 2023 edition of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Bader reminisced, “It was completely new, fresh off FDA approval, and nobody knew about it. It filled me with fear.” They told him he needed it, and Bader had a multitude of conflicting emotions.
Following her withdrawal from the drug, Bader – known for her candidness about her struggle with binge eating – admitted that it led to a vicious pattern of overeating.
She shared that she consulted a physician who said, “Your condition is definitely linked to your use of Ozempic,” which made her ponder about the prolonged lack of hunger sensation. She shed some pounds while on it. However, she didn’t wish to continue using it long-term due to concerns. When she stopped taking it, she felt an increased hunger and her binge eating became more frequent. Consequently, she started attributing her issues to Ozempic.
Instead of losing weight for the wedding, a cast member from The Real Housewives of New Jersey confessed that they were using Ozempic before the season 13 reunion to shed pounds.
In the April 4, 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Catania admitted that she had been using an antidiabetic drug. She revealed her reason for doing so was to avoid appearing larger than others during the recording, stating, “I jumped on the trend.
The renowned tennis player, who’s been honest about her battles with an eating disorder, voiced her hesitation towards using diabetes medication primarily for the purpose of managing weight.
In a 2024 episode of the Lemonada Media podcast, Wiser Than Me, she revealed that her doctor suggested trying a new type of injection called Ozempics. She mentioned that while she’s curious about it, she’s not keen on rapid weight loss as she believes it doesn’t look good and may not be healthy for her.
However, she noted that she has “taken a few injections”
In March 2022, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s daughter initially spoke out about using a diabetes medication upon revealing her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis.
She shared on Instagram that she needed to exhibit 2 out of 5 symptoms of PCOS, but she had 4. During her consultation with her endocrinologist, it seemed these symptoms might have contributed to her weight problems. As a result, they decided to prescribe medication to help regulate her body and maintain health as she grows older, providing the necessary tools for her well-being.
Gracie offered an update on her health journey in a June 5 post after a commenter called out her alleged use of Type 2 diabetes medication.
She replied, “Indeed, I took Ozempic the previous year. At present, I’m on a low dosage of Mounjaro for managing my PCOS, and I’m also exercising regularly. Please remember, I’ve always been transparent about this, so there’s no need for any accusations.
