As a woman who has struggled with my weight and health issues for years, I can relate to the experiences of these famous figures in their journeys towards bettering themselves. The fear of trying new medications like Semaglutide or Ozempic is understandable, as there are always mixed feelings and potential side effects to consider.
Jennifer Aydin is clapping back at critics of her new slimmed-down figure.
In reality, the star of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” has spoken out about allegations that she directly takes Ozempic.
The Bravo star made it clear to Andy Cohen during the July 14 episode of “Watch What Happens Live” that she is not using Ozempic for weight loss or Type 2 diabetes management. For those criticizing her appearance and urging her to stop taking the medication because their loved ones can’t access it, she explained, “It’s just my hair making my head look big. I don’t take Ozempic.”
As it turns out, Aydin prefers the injectable drug under a different brand name.
The 47-year-old jokingly declared, “I’m currently on Mount Jurassic, my apologies!” He continued with a laugh, “Mount Jurassic 2.5 – yes, that’s the weight I’ve chosen for myself, and I’m loving every bit of it! My energy levels are through the roof, if you couldn’t tell.”
I, as a dedicated follower of “RHONJ,” can confirm that Aydin isn’t the sole cast member who has openly expressed appreciation for appetite-reducing semaglutide medications. In fact, Dolores Catania disclosed back in July 2023 that she has been utilizing Mounjaro for quite some time now.
Catania explained, “I need to take medication for insulin resistance and thyroid problems, which were prescribed by a doctor due to my pre-diabetic condition and thyroid issue.” She added, “There are concerns about potential side effects when everyone is finished taking the medications. However, all the doctors I consulted assured me there would be none.”
Nevertheless, the 53-year-old acknowledged that losing weight is not effortless, explaining, “I exercise frequently. Sadly, there’s no quick solution for shedding pounds, so I need to be mindful of my diet as well.”
Margaret Josephs is also a big proponent of the weight loss drugs.
Last year, she casually mentioned, “I have one weekly dose of them, and it aids in weight loss and enhances metabolism for me.” People have been complimenting her on her new look, but some of her colleagues have expressed concerns about her weight loss. However, Marge feels that everyone should do what’s best for their own bodies.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
In the spring of 2024, I shared with Page Six my exciting two-month journey of shedding 32 pounds. I accomplished this feat by incorporating semaglutide injections into my daily routine – the generic version of a popular weight loss medication known as Ozempic.
“You know what’s annoying?” he said. “The regret of not starting it 10 years ago.”
In March 2024, Ree Drummond, famously known as The Pioneer Woman, revealed on her blog that she didn’t use Ozempic or related drugs for her 50-pound weight loss in 2022.

Towards the end of that month, TopMob News received a statement from him explaining, “I was just being playful with my earlier comments. Ozempic indeed worked well for me and I was happy with its effectiveness.”
The star of “The Real Housewives of Dubai,” in an open conversation, shared her experience of starting to use Ozempic following a “midlife transition” at the age of 45.
In my experience, losing weight after turning 40 can be incredibly challenging. I’ve encountered numerous women in their forties who asked me, quite honestly, “How have you managed to do it?” And I want to be truthful with you all. One method that worked wonders for me was using Ozempic. If you’re given the opportunity, I highly recommend giving it a try.
Former star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” shared her unsuccessful experience trying to drop pounds using injected weight loss medication.
She expressed in June 2024 that the diet didn’t suppress her hunger. Contrary to some individuals who claim they can’t eat, she went on to enjoy appetizers, a full meal, and dessert without any hindrance. For others, seeing it effective for others yet not for themselves can lead to feelings of sadness and self-doubt. Realistically, one might ask oneself, “What’s different about me? Why doesn’t it seem to be working for me?”
During her conversation with Fox News Digital, she expressed, “I’m not qualified to discuss this from a medical perspective, but I have come across a lot of information on what is effective and what isn’t. In my opinion, Ozempic offers several advantages, but it also comes with potential risks.”
In 2017, after having her son Beau, the character from “Beverly Hills, 90210” experimented with using a weight loss drug.
In the April 2024 episode of my podcast, misSPELLING, I openly shared my experience with trying Ozempic and it unfortunately not working for me in managing my weight. Subsequently, I decided to give Monjaro a try instead, and I’m thrilled to report that it has indeed helped me shed some pounds.
She emphasized to Francesca Amiker of TopMob News that it’s crucial we recognize some medications are designed specifically for specific individuals, and not to deprive them of this treatment unnecessarily.

She shared with TopMob News that the decision is yours to make. Revealing a common practice, she added, “Taking something to aid in weight loss is nothing to be ashamed of.”
She added, “We don’t have to bulls–t.”
Sharon’s daughter has also weighed in on the Ozempic trend.

“Oh, my God,” Kate remarked after learning about the drug. “This sounds terrible.”
In December 2023, the actress from “Hills” shared that she had shed 22 pounds without using Ozempic. She expressed her stance on this topic in an interview with Page Six: “Life doesn’t offer any shortcuts, and I’m unsure about those who resort to taking it. I won’t mention any names or delve deeper into the issue; it’s just not something I would ever consider.”
Heidi remarked, “I’m looking for something long-lasting. It should involve some effort as well.”
During her June 8, 2023 interview on “Watch What Happens Live,” the actress from “Trainwreck” spoke openly about her criticism towards celebrities who aren’t truthful regarding their use of Ozempic for weight loss.
In simpler terms, she expressed her frustration to Andy Cohen by saying, “Everyone and their mother will give it a try. People have been deceitfully claiming they’re eating less, but the truth is, many are using Ozempic or similar medications, or have undergone cosmetic procedures. Just be honest about it.”
Schumer openly discusses her past health interventions and admitted, “Be honest with each other. When I had liposuction, I freely announced that’s what I underwent.”
She confessed to developing a strong interest in Ozempic right away in 2022, yet shared that for her personal circumstances, continuously using the Type 2 diabetes medication was not feasible due to its impact on limiting her interaction time with her 5-year-old son Gene.
“During that time, I was among those individuals who felt unwell and couldn’t join in my son’s ball games with him. Despite being very thin, I just couldn’t keep up.”
Dr. Drew shared with TopMob News at Fox’s Special Forces event on Sept. 12, 2023, that people hold complex emotions towards interventions. They are drawn to it yet harbor some reservations.
If we find a useful medicine, I suggest people consider giving it a try.

They can just disappear now.” In the images attached to her tweet, two of these ads were visible. One read, “One injection to lose weight,” and the other made a similar claim, “A weekly injection for weight loss.”
Turner adding her own commentary, writing, “WTF.”
Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, has informed TopMob News that this medication has not received approval from the FDA for long-term weight management use.
I understand some healthcare professionals might be prescribing Ozempic to help patients shed pounds. However, Novo Nordisk doesn’t endorse or encourage using our medication off-label. We strictly adhere to all U.S. laws and regulations regarding the promotion of our products. Trust us that healthcare providers are making informed decisions based on their patients’ unique requirements when selecting the most suitable medicine for them.
Comedian Handler found out the hard way that Ozempic is no joke: her doctor, who she thought was just helping her anti-age, had actually prescribed this medication for her without fully disclosing what it was.
During the January 25, 2023 episode of Call Her Daddy, she expressed surprise, admitting “I hadn’t realized I was on it.” When someone suggested a way to lose weight, she added, “She mentioned this as an option if I ever wanted to shed five pounds.”
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. A few days later, during lunch with a friend, she mentioned feeling sick and not eating due to being on Ozempic. I too was feeling queasy, but I’d just come back from Spain and was still dealing with jet lag.
In the end, I chose to no longer require that medication of mine since it wasn’t essential for my health. I even shared the leftover doses with my dear friends.
She mentioned that she had given Ozempic to around four to five of her friends after recognizing that she didn’t want to use it herself for seemingly unnecessary reasons. She explained that the medication was intended for heavier individuals, and so she would invite her guests over with scheduled visit times: “You’re welcome at one, you’re welcome at two.”
KoKo clapped back when commenters on Instagram speculated that she was taking Ozempic.
In her post in January 2023, Kardashian asked that people wouldn’t undermine the effort she puts into her fitness routine. Every week, she wakes up early at 6am five days in a row to exercise. Please avoid jumping to conclusions. It seems that even with the new year, some individuals remain unpleasant.
Along with taking on a weight-loss medication, Dubrow disclosed in January 2023 that he experimented with using Mounjaro for a brief period to understand its effects on the body.
The star of “Botched” expressed her awe, sharing that she wasn’t carrying much extra weight but decided to give it a try since many of her patients were using it and she was curious about the experience for those with smaller amounts of weight to lose and no diabetes.
Dr. Dubrow hasn’t shared the details of how many pounds he shed or the duration of his medication use, but he did mention that he has stopped taking it now.
He shared that he had been considering, “I think I’d like to restore my hunger again,” as his motivation for discontinuing the medicine. Additionally, he mentioned experiencing a mild feeling of queasiness.

The Bravo celebrity dismissed the rumors once again in a January 16th Instagram post via Page Six, clarifying that she is “absolutely not” using the specified medication.
After fans questioned whether or not she was taking Ozempic, Jessica set the record straight.
She expressed to Bustle in an interview published on July 6, 2023: “Lord, you know it’s not because of Ozempic. It’s all about self-discipline. Am I being asked to go back to my old habits of drinking excessively? Or perhaps have another child, which my body can no longer support?”
Nassif echoed his Botched costar in giving the drug two thumbs up.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share my perspective on Ozempic usage. I’ve noticed some people expressing judgment towards those taking this medication, but let me tell you, I’m all for supporting each other’s health choices. I’ve seen friends of mine, including Terry, who have transformed before my eyes lately. They look amazing and feel better than ever. Their blood sugars and blood pressure have improved significantly, which can contribute to a longer, healthier life. Of course, it’s crucial that we all use this medication responsibly under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
In actuality, the renowned plastic surgeon expressed that using Ozempic may bring additional advantages beyond weight control.

This Shah isn’t shy about her Ozempic use.
Gharachedaghi was open and honest about her medication use during her health discussion with Entertainment Tonight in May 2023, sharing that she preferred to speak openly about it because she knew many people were curious or seeking similar information.
The Shahs of Sunset star, who previously weighed 30 pounds more than now, attributed her weight loss to Semaglutide. She acknowledged, “I didn’t look this way just two months ago. So it wouldn’t be truthful for me to claim that I gave up alcohol completely and suddenly became very active with workouts like some people might suggest.”
Gharachedaghi added that she was still feeling hunger pangs, expressing, “I’m really getting peckish now. I think I’ll have a quick puff of marijuana and then sit down for a proper meal.”

Once she stopped taking the drug, Bader – known for her honesty about overcoming binge eating – expressed that it led her to a vicious cycle of excessive eating.
She shared her experience, saying, “I visited a doctor who told me point-blank that my current condition was caused by my use of Ozempic. The medication had suppressed my hunger for quite some time, resulting in weight loss for me. However, I grew concerned about my long-term reliance on it and decided to discontinue its usage. I anticipated intense hunger upon stopping the medication, but unfortunately, my binge eating worsened instead.”
Instead of giving up on shedding pounds for the wedding, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star revealed she had been using Ozempic to help with weight loss before the season 13 reunion taping.

In the April 2024 installment of Lemonada Media’s “Wiser Than Me” podcast, I excitedly discussed my latest medical journey. My physician suggested I try the new Ozempic-like injections, and I was intrigued. However, unlike some fans, I’m not eager to shed pounds at an accelerated rate. I believe that rapid weight loss is unattractive and potentially unhealthy for me.
However, she noted that she has “taken a few injections”
In March 2022, Audrey McGraw, the daughter of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, revealed for the first time that she has been using a diabetes medication since disclosing her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis.
She discovered on Instagram that to receive an accurate diagnosis for PCOS, one needs at least two out of five symptoms. However, she had experienced four.

In a blog post on June 5, Gracie shared some new information about her health experiences following a query from a reader regarding her reported usage of Type 2 diabetes medication.
