Kendra Wilkinson Ditches Weight Loss Drug After One Shot: Find Out Why

Kendra Wilkinson isn’t playing when it comes to her body.

Previously known as a Playboy model and a romantic partner of the late Hugh Hefner, she revealed that she initially used an injectable weight-reduction medication. However, her adherence to this regimen was brief.

On her Instagram Stories, she posted about beginning a weight loss injection regimen on April 15. She only used it once, but decided not to continue and is discarding it.

Not long after revealing her truth, the former star of “Girls Next Door”, who has a 15-year-old son named Hank Jr. and a 10-year-old daughter named Alijah with her ex-husband Hank Baskett, clarified her choice to abstain from taking that particular medication.

She expressed in a subsequent Instagram post the following day that she’s content with some additional weight, stating, “These days, I find more happiness in life.

In addition, Kendra, aged 39, openly acknowledged her concerns regarding possible health issues that might occur.

She continued, ‘I’ve heard far too many scary tales, and it often leads to emergency room visits, surgeries – I prefer to steer clear of that experience.’

Previously, Kendra expressed thoughts about the transformation of her body image in a social media post filled with images from a poolside setting. In this post, she admitted that it now takes her a moment to publish pictures.

She expressed her anticipation for potential negativity and bullying regarding her new appearance and age, yet decided to share it on Instagram today with pride. She has triumphed over numerous challenges in life and believes she deserves to commemorate herself and her fresh outlook on life.

Absolutely, Kendra isn’t the only one expressing her views on weight loss drugs. For insights from other celebrities regarding medications such as Ozempic, continue scrolling.

Mentioning that she’s far removed from her “days as a Playboy” model, Kendra expressed that leaving behind her time in the mansion felt “empowering.

She added, ‘I used to be somewhat apprehensive about many things, but not anymore. Things that were beyond my control once terrified me. But fear, you’re no longer welcome!’

Hey there! As a die-hard fan and follower of health trends, I can’t help but chime in on the topic Kendra has brought up – weight loss drugs. Just like me, many other celebrities have shared their thoughts about medications like Ozempic designed for shedding those extra pounds. So, if you’re curious to know what they have to say, stick around and keep reading!

In March 2025, the host of the Golden Globes passionately advocated for the acceptance of Ozempic, encouraging individuals to speak openly about their usage of this particular medication.

She expressed her enthusiasm by saying, ‘Go for it!’ on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She has no reservations. If someone wants to use Ozempic, absolutely, she said.

She expressed, “I aim to encourage people to discuss it more openly, as I believe there’s an unwarranted sense of embarrassment.” She added, “The embarrassment is mainly felt by those who are thin and wish for you to remain overweight. This shame stems primarily from their resentment. They’re enraged that you’re slimming down now, because your slimness challenges their identity, as they feel it’s all they have – your vibrancy, your good personality.

In December 2024, the model mentioned that she used Ozempic at one point, but then discontinued its use following her participation in Dancing With the Stars, which began the preceding fall.

According to Nader, when it initially emerged, he tried a small amount, and it seemed like everyone was participating. However, it made him feel quite queasy. Despite this, he admitted that he did enjoy it, but during his time on ‘Dancing with the Stars’, he found it challenging to juggle both activities.

Brooks explained that her motivation and energy for exercising decreased slightly due to the medication. She had to make a choice between working out and dancing, and ultimately chose dancing over exercise.

Dog’s daughter announced on November 1 that she had shed approximately 58 pounds over a period of 10 months by modifying her diet and utilizing the weight loss drug Tirzepatide. She further expressed, “I am now able to gaze at myself in the mirror with immense pride, reflecting on my incredible progress.

Prior to discovering a suitable option, she encountered difficulties while using Ozempic. In an interview with TopMob News, she expressed her dislike for it, stating that eating caused her nausea. On certain occasions, she couldn’t eat at all. It seemed her body was not compatible with it.

The television personality from “The Real Housewives of New York City” dismissed rumors suggesting a transformation in her appearance between seasons 14 and 15.

In an interview with Us Weekly in October 2024, she expressed her thoughts by saying, “When you’re part of reality TV, it’s just so easy to comment on things like, ‘Oh, she had plastic surgery or she took this medication,’ or ‘She’s using Ozempic.’ However, I absolutely detest Ozempic and would never consider injecting myself with needles for it.

Following rumors on social media that Lizzo may have been using Ozempic to shed weight after posting a photo with a more slender figure, the Grammy winner responded by sharing a video accompanied by the popular TikTok audio clip of Christoph Waltz’s character from Django Unchained saying, “It’s like a reward.” This way, we convey the same information but with simpler and more conversational language.

In a 2024 episode of her podcast, titled “Dream On”, Kate Moss’ sister disclosed the reasons why taking Ozempic was the biggest regret in her life.

Following consumption of a dose intended for individuals weighing approximately 220 lbs or higher, the model experienced difficulty retaining both food and liquid, leading to an emergency room visit.

She confessed that she experienced a seizure due to severe dehydration, which turned out to be the most terrifying event in her life thus far. Her friend had to restrain her feet as it was an incredibly frightening ordeal. The whole situation was distressing, with her face and body tensing up.

Back in the vibrant spring of 2024, I found myself eagerly sharing my personal journey with Page Six. You see, I’m one of those die-hard fans who can’t get enough of the captivating tale of Jon & Kate Plus 8. In this instance, however, I was more than just a fan; I was inspired by their journey to embark on my own transformative story.

In the span of two breathtaking months, I managed to shed an astounding 32 pounds! Now, you might be wondering, what was the secret sauce behind this miraculous transformation? Well, it turns out that the magic potion was none other than semaglutide, the generic version of the popular medication known as Ozempic. I’m not a doctor, but for me, it was like finding the elixir of life!

“You know what’s annoying?” he said. “The regret of not starting it 10 years ago.”

Revealing a fact on her blog in March 2024, the famed Pioneer Woman star clarified that she didn’t rely on Ozempic or similar medications for her impressive 50-pound weight loss achieved in 2022. Instead, it was through her own methods and efforts.

She stated, “You won’t find any criticism from me regarding those who make that choice.

By August 2023, the former star of “30 Rock” shared during an interview on “Today With Hoda and Jenna,” that he had shed some pounds due to 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 consuming more than Ozempic,” which led to a weight gain of 40 pounds.

A little while later that same month, he made clear to TopMob News that his earlier statement was a joke. He also mentioned, “Ozempic worked well for me, and I was happy to benefit from it.

In a candid conversation, the star from “The Real Housewives of Dubai” shared her experience with using Ozempic following a midlife transition at the age of 45.

During her podcast on May 22nd, Caroline Stanbury stated that after age 40, it becomes incredibly challenging to shed excess weight. However, she encountered numerous women around her age asking, ‘How did you manage this?’ She admitted that she used Ozempic, a tool she believes can be extremely effective if one is able to utilize it.

During a July 2024 interview on “Watch What Happens Live”, the star of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” clarified that she is not using Ozempic, but instead opted for Mounjaro. She playfully apologized and then excitedly shared that she enjoys her current weight and has abundant energy, a fact that’s hard to miss.

Previously on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, one cast member confessed her unsuccessful endeavor to shed pounds using a weight-loss injection.

She stated in June 2024: “The diet didn’t help suppress my hunger. Contrarily, some folks may say, ‘I can’t eat a thing.’ But not me! I was enjoying appetizers, a full meal, and dessert, you know? It had no effect on me whatsoever.” She added, “When it seems to be effective for others but fails for you, it can lead to feelings of sadness. In essence, it leaves one questioning, ‘What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t it working for me?’

As a connoisseur of wellness trends, let me tell you, there’s an abundance of insights available on various health topics – including Ozempic. From my perspective, this medication offers remarkable advantages, but it’s equally important to acknowledge potential risks associated with its use.

In 2017, when she had her son Beau, the character from Beverly Hills, 90210 experimented with a weight-loss aid.

In a broadcast from April 2024 on her podcast called “misSPELLING“, she disclosed that Ozempic didn’t help her, but after switching to Mounjaro, she managed to shed pounds.

As a conscientious advocate, I firmly believe in emphasizing that specific medications are designed for particular individuals. It shouldn’t be carelessly discarded, even for the sake of superficiality or glamour.

Raven went on, “Carry out your tasks, but remember to reserve the medicine for those truly in need.

In September 2023, the presenter of Talk U.K. disclosed that she had lost 42 pounds by taking Ozempic during the earlier part of the year.

She shared with TopMob News that the decision is entirely yours to make. Using something to aid in weight loss isn’t a hidden issue; it’s 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 in January 2024, the former Fashion Police member expressed her awe, stating, “I find it incredible! There are countless methods for shedding pounds. Why not opt for something more engaging than exercise?

 

As a lifestyle enthusiast and someone who’s followed the journey of the famed actress from the Titanic, I must say it was intriguing to hear her perspective on the ongoing weight loss craze.

In a conversation with The New York Times Magazine, Kate openly acknowledged her lack of knowledge about Ozempic, stating, “I’m not familiar with what Ozempic exactly is. It seems to be a medication of some sort that individuals are using.

“Oh, my God,” Kate remarked after learning about the injectable. “This sounds terrible.”

In December 2023, the actress from ‘Hills’ disclosed that she had shed off approximately 22 pounds without using Ozempic. Speaking to Page Six, she expressed her skepticism about shortcuts in life and implied that she doesn’t approve of celebrities resorting to such methods. She refrained from naming names or delving deeper into the matter, stating it’s not something she would ever do herself.

Heidi pointed out, “I’m looking for something that is long-lasting and not just a quick fix. It should involve some effort as well.

On her June 8, 2023 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live”, the actress who starred in “Trainwreck” didn’t mince words when she openly criticized celebrities for not admitting they were using Ozempic as a weight loss aid.

In a candid conversation with Andy Cohen, she expressed that almost everyone, including their relatives, seem eager to give it a try. She also mentioned that people have been falsely claiming they prefer smaller portions, but in reality, many are either using Ozempic or similar weight loss drugs, or have undergone cosmetic procedures. Essentially, she urged them to stop pretending.

Schumer frankly discusses her previous medical treatments and further stated, “Always be honest with others. When I had liposuction, I openly admitted that I had it done.

She confessed to taking a strong interest in Ozempic in 2022 right away, yet clarified that it was not feasible for her to use the Type 2 diabetes medication because it interfered with her time spent with her son Gene.

Schumer remembered feeling extremely unwell and unable to play with her son, as she was so thin that even when he threw a ball at her, she couldn’t catch it.

Dr. Drew expressed to TopMob News at Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season two event in Los Angeles on September 12, 2023, that opinions about such interventions are divided. He noted a sense of intrigue, but also an unusual apprehension or skepticism.

He added, “Should there be a treatment option proven beneficial, by all means let’s inspire consideration of it among the people.

Forget winter, a hot take is coming.

The former ‘Game of Thrones’ actor openly expressed her views on Ozempic and its commercials without reservation.

On April 5, 2023, an Instagram Story posted by the actress shared a tweet from author Sophie Vershbow that said, “I’d prefer if those Ozempic ads covering the Times Square subway station would just disappear.” The images attached to her tweet showed ads with phrases like, “One chance to shed pounds,” and “A weekly dose to reduce weight.

Turner adding her own commentary, writing, “WTF.”

Previously, Novo Nordisk informed TopMob News that Ozempic has not yet received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for long-term weight management purposes.

Although it’s known that certain medical professionals might be prescribing Ozempic for weight loss purposes, Novo Nordisk does not advocate or endorse the use of our medications outside their approved uses. We strictly adhere to all U.S. laws and regulations when promoting our products. We believe that healthcare providers are assessing each patient’s unique needs and selecting the appropriate medication accordingly.

Comedian Handler found out that her ‘anti-aging specialist’ had prescribed Ozempic, a serious medication, unbeknownst to her.

She remarked during the January 25, 2023 episode of Call Her Daddy that she hadn’t realized it beforehand, but when someone suggested a method for losing five pounds, she found it useful.

But while she tried the drug, Handler noted that she didn’t like how it made her feel.

Upon my return from a delightful vacation, I administered it to myself. A few days later, I met up with a dear friend for lunch, and she shared, “I’m not consuming much food at all. I’ve been feeling quite queasy, I’m on Ozempic.” To which I responded, “I too have been experiencing some queasiness,” though I had just returned from Spain, battling the effects of jet lag.

In the end, Handler chose to discontinue taking the medication as it was no longer medically required for her, and she generously distributed her leftover doses to her friends.

She stated, “I’ve given Ozempic to approximately four or five of my friends, as I found it unnecessary. It’s primarily for heavy individuals, so when friends visit me, I say something like, ‘Come over at 1, come over at 2.'”

Khloe Kardashian clapped back when commenters on Instagram speculated that she was taking Ozempic. 

In a January 2023 post, Kardashian emphasized that her years of dedication to working out should not be dismissed. She makes it a point to wake up five days a week at 6am for exercise. She kindly requests an end to the assumptions and notes that despite it being the new year, some people still choose to be unkind.

Apart from openly admitting his temporary use of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro back in January 2023, Dr. Dubrow also shared insights on how this medication impacts the human body.

The star of Botched expressed his awe, saying, “I found it incredible,” he shared. “To be honest, I didn’t need to shed significant weight. However, since numerous patients of mine were on it, I was curious about the experience when one isn’t diabetic and only has 10 to 15 pounds to trim.

Despite not sharing details about the amount of weight lost or duration of taking the medication, Dr. Dubrow has verified that he is no longer using it now.

He shared that he decided to stop the medication because, as he put it, “I felt like I was ready to rekindle my hunger again.” Additionally, he mentioned experiencing a mild feeling of unease in his stomach.

The star from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” openly addressed rumors suggesting she was using medication due to her weight loss, which her social media fans had pointed out.

Richard responded to a user’s comment on his January 5, 2023 Instagram post featuring himself and his friends after a workout by stating, “I’m not using Ozempic.” He further clarified in another reply, “I’ve never used it.

In her Instagram post dated January 16, 2023, as reported by Page Six, the Bravo star dismissed those rumors once again, clarifying that she is “absolutely not” using the medication.

After fans questioned whether or not she was taking Ozempic, Jessica set the record straight.

In an interview with Bustle on July 6, 2023, she expressed, “Indeed, it’s not the Ozempic, it’s self-control I’m referring to. It feels like they might want me to return to my old habits like drinking or consider another pregnancy, but my body is incapable of that.

Nassif echoed his Botched costar in giving the drug two thumbs up.

As Nassif shared with TopMob News in February 2024, he’s not judging Ozempic use and instead supports it. He himself is fine with it, and many of his friends who recently tried it also look great and feel healthier. They reported improvements in their blood sugar and blood pressure levels, which could potentially contribute to a longer lifespan – but it should be used correctly.

It turns out that the renowned plastic surgeon hinted at additional advantages of using Ozempic besides weight management, suggesting it could be used as an anti-aging treatment in the future. In other words, Dr. Nassif mentioned that there might be more benefits to uncover about Ozempic and similar semaglutides.

This Shah isn’t shy about her Ozempic use. 

Gharachedaghi was open and transparent about her medication use when discussing her health journey, explaining to Entertainment Tonight in May 2023 that she prefers “to discuss it openly because there are many people out there who wish to do the same or learn from your experiences.

The “Shahs of Sunset” star attributed her 30-pound weight loss, achieved through Semaglutide—a generic weight-loss drug—by stating, “It’s clear I didn’t look this way just two months ago. So, to claim that I stopped consuming alcohol and suddenly started exercising intensely, as some people might suggest, would be dishonest.

Gharachedaghi further mentioned that she hasn’t lost her desire for food, expressing, “To be honest, I’m feeling a bit peckish right now. By the way, I think I’ll have a quick puff of something and then I’ll definitely eat something.

As a lifestyle connoisseur speaking from personal experience, I found that incorporating Ozempic into my type 2 diabetes management regimen seemed detrimental to my holistic wellbeing.

On the January 12th, 2023 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, I reminisced about an experience that left me in a whirlwind of emotions. It was freshly FDA-approved, under the radar, and unknown to many. The mere thought of it sent chills down my spine. They insisted I needed it, and the feelings that swirled within me were a complex mix.

Following her withdrawal from the drug, Bader – known for her honesty regarding her struggle with compulsive overeating – shared that it led to a repetitive pattern of excessive eating episodes.

As a devotee, I visited a healthcare professional who shared with me, “Without a shadow of a doubt, your recent weight loss is attributed to the fact you started using Ozempic.” This revelation had me pondering about my diminished appetite for quite some time. I shed pounds and felt great, but the thought of being reliant on it long-term didn’t sit well with me. I remember musing, “I suspect that as soon as I stop taking it, my hunger will skyrocket again.” True to my thoughts, once I discontinued using Ozempic, my hunger surged, and my binge eating worsened significantly. Consequently, I found myself attributing these issues to the medication.
