Celebrities can’t lose weight without people speculating they’re on Ozempic. Here’s who’s addressed rumors — as Kylie Jenner denies using it.

Kylie Jenner is back to her pre-pregnancy weight, but said she’s faced scrutiny for her changing body.

Jenner, 27, gave birth to her daughter Stormi in 2018 and her son Aire in 2022. She said she weighed 200 pounds when she gave birth to each, but has since faced speculation that her post-pregnancy weight loss has been due to medication.

Speaking to British Vogue, the reality TV star and makeup mogul said: “I feel like people didn’t give me, or give women in general, enough empathy. I see pictures [online] and people are accusing me of being on drugs or something…”

Asked if she meant they mistakenly thought she was taking a weight loss drug like Ozempic, she said: “Yeah.” 

Jenner added: “I’m back at my weight I was before I had my daughter and son and people are putting side by sides of me three months postpartum. I’m like: ‘Does everyone forget that I had two children and I gained 60 pounds both pregnancies?'”

Singer and TV host Kelly Clarkson addressed rumors that her weight loss was due to a GLP-1 agonist in May 2024 and denied that she’d taken one.

Speaking on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson said that she was prompted to lose weight after not recognizing herself on television and weighing in at 203 pounds. 

She’s never used Wegovy or Mounjaro though, she said.

“My doctor chased me for like two years and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems,'” Clarkson said. “Everybody thinks it Ozempic. It’s not.”

Clarkson said she’d been taking a different, unnamed medication.

“It’s something else, but it’s something that aids in helping break down the sugar — obviously my body doesn’t do it right. I ended up having to do that, because my blood work got so bad.”

Clarkson has previously said she’s been eating a healthy, high-protein diet as per her doctor’s recommendation.

In December 2023, Oprah said she used weight loss medication, but declined to name which one. 

The TV host said she wants to remove the stigma around the drugs.

“I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself,” Winfrey told People. “The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.”

In March 2024, Whoopi Goldberg told The View that she took Mounjaro after her weight reached nearly 300 pounds while filming the 2022 movie Till.

“One of the things that’s helped me drop the weight is Mounjaro, that’s what I use,” she said. 

Goldberg said she hadn’t realized how much weight she had gained as it has always yo-yoed.

“I just always felt like me, and then I saw me, and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s a lot of me,'” Goldberg said.

NBA star Charles Barkley said he lost over 60 pounds in six months after taking Ozempic competitor Mounjaro, also known as tirzepatide, while eating healthily and exercising.

Speaking on “The Pat McAfee Show” in May, the 60-year-old said he started at 352 pounds and now weighs 290, and he hopes to reach 270 pounds.

“It’s been great, I’m starting to feel like a human being not a fat-ass anymore,” Barkley said, adding that his motivation is to live longer.

“It’s been amazing,” he said. “My doctor, she is amazing. I know a lot of people take Ozempic, but my doctor prefers Mounjaro.”

Business magnate Elon Musk said his weight loss was down to “fasting” and “Wegovy.”

In October 2022, Musk wrote on Twitter that he was taking the brand of semaglutide, Insider’s Anna Miller reported.

In January 2023, Khloe Kardashian posted an image of herself on the cover of Sorbet magazine on Instagram.

One person commented saying, “The fact she uses dibetic [sic] medication to get this skinny is disturbing,” Buzzfeed reported.

Kardashian responded: “Let’s not discredit my years of working out. I get up 5 days a week at 6am to train. Please stop with your assumptions. I guess new year still means mean people.” 

Kyle Richards said outright that she is not on weight-loss drugs.

After posting a photo in workout clothes on Instagram on January 5 2023, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star received many comments from people speculating she was taking semaglutide.

In response to one person who said she was on Ozempic, Richards said: “do not spread lies. I’m not on ozempic.”

Speaking to Extra in February, Richards said she finds the accusations “frustrating.”

“I cannot stand people saying that because people that know me know that I’m up every day at like 5, 6 a.m. at the latest… I’m in the gym for two hours,” she said. “I really put a lot of effort into my diet and exercise and taking care of myself, so when people like to think I took the easy way out, it’s frustrating.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Dolores Catania said she took Mounjaro on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, saying that she wanted to tell the truth about her experiences.

Catania “got on the bandwagon” as she didn’t want to come to the RHONJ reunion looking bigger than any of her castmates. She added she did also have a trainer.

Her only side effect was a lack of hunger, she told Cohen.

Actress and model, Julia Fox has denied taking Ozempic during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

The Uncut Gems star said: “All these people are coming for me saying that I take the weight loss things… people are saying that I’m taking Ozempic or whatever it’s called.” 

Fox said that she’s not on the medication and never has been. “I would never do that. There are diabetics that need it,” she said.

Sharon Osbourne, ex-host of The Talk and wife of Ozzy Osbourne said she took weight loss injections for four months which helped her lose 30 pounds.

Speaking on the UK version of the Talk, Osbourne said that during the first couple of months of taking the drug, she felt nauseous and her stomach was upset.

No longer on the drug, she said she now “eats normally” and hasn’t put the weight back on.
