Ozempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss — with some stars confirming they have used the drug while others denied it.
Chelsea Handler revealed in a January 2023 segment on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she had mistakenly been consuming a medication for Type 2 diabetes, typically prescribed to manage blood sugar levels. Following her anti-aging physician’s advice, Handler was taking Semaglutide, known commercially as Ozempic, before discontinuing its use once she became aware of its true nature.
The original passage was retained. This makes a total of one paragraph.
“I’m not on it anymore. That’s too irresponsible,” Handler clarified. “I’m an irresponsible drug user, but I’m not gonna take a diabetic drug.”
Kyle Richards, meanwhile, was accused of using the diabetes medicine in January 2023 after posting a picture of herself showing off her abs in a bathing suit. “I am NOT taking Ozempic. Never have,” Richards commented on Page Six’s Instagram at the time.
