Sharon Osbourne Believes She’s “Excessively Thin” Post-Ozempic
An intriguing subject that persists in Hollywood conversations and certainly isn’t about Traylor? Indeed, it’s Ozempic.
Initially created for Type 2 diabetes therapy, Ozempic—also known as semaglutide, a medication approved by the FDA in 2017 for injection—is now becoming popularized as a weight reduction trend. As with previous health crazes, it’s igniting discussions online, further fueled when the FDA noted a supply shortfall last August, likely resulting from a surge in demand.
As Variety reported in September, numerous celebrities have adopted the insulin medication for rapid weight shedding, but many accused of taking it have swiftly refuted such claims. Meanwhile, Amy Schumer, who experimented with Ozempic previously, is forthcoming about its use and criticizes those in the entertainment industry for not acknowledging their usage.
Of course, some celebrities have indeed narrated their journeys with the medication, including Chelsea Handler and The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Dolores Catania. Conversely, personalities like Khloe Kardashian and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Kyle Richards have emphatically refuted speculations that they are utilizing Ozempic.
A spokesperson for Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, stated to E! News that Ozempic is “not authorized for chronic weight regulation.” The firm emphasizes that Ozempic aims to manage type 2 diabetes, improve glycemic control, and decrease the chance of significant cardiovascular occurrences in afflicted adults.
The following are celebrities who’ve expressed their views on the Ozempic phenomenon in Hollywood:
