Ozempic is the newest craze to take over Hollywood.
While stars like Kyle Richards have denied using the Type II diabetes medication — which is injected once a week into the stomach, thigh or arm — others have been vocal with their decision to use the drug, or ones similar, to shed weight quickly.
From Elon Musk to Chelsea Handler, find out which celebrities have admitted to taking Ozempic for weight loss.
Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer admitted that she tried Ozempic and got “so skinny,” but had to stop taking it because the drug made her feel “so sick.”
“[I] couldn’t play with my son,” the comedian said on “Watch What Happens Live” in June 2023. “I was so skinny and he’s throwing a ball at me and [I couldn’t].”
She also slammed celebrities who lie about using the weight-loss drug:
“Everyone has been lying saying, ‘Oh smaller portions.’ Like shut the f—k up.”
Schumer added, “You are on Ozempic or one of those things or you got work done. Just stop. Be real with the people. When I got lipo, I said I got lipo.”
Gracie McGraw
After posting bikini snaps in June 2023, Gracie McGraw poked fun at accusations that she uses Ozempic as she has been “open” about taking the Type II diabetes drug since being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome.
“I did use Ozempic last year, yes,” Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s eldest daughter wrote via Instagram. “I am now on a low dose of Mounjaro for my PCOS as well as working out.”
Gracie first shared her PCOS struggles in March 2022.
Lauren Manzo
Caroline Manzo’s daughter, Lauren Manzo, admitted she used weight-loss drug Mounjaro, a competitor of Ozempic, to lose 30 pounds following a 50-pound weight loss.
“You guys have seen me struggle with [my weight] since I’m 20 years old, and it’s been really hard for me,” she said during Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” live podcast event in May 2023. “I’ve lost a lot of weight from being on that whole ‘Ozempic’ thing.”
Sharon Osbourne
Sharon Osbourne revealed on “The Talk” that she got “very sick” after using injectable weight-loss drugs for several months.
“The first couple of months, I just felt nauseous. Every day I felt nauseous, my stomach was upset, whatever,” she said.
The former reality star did not specify which medication she used, but said it caused her to lose 30 pounds in four months.
Dolores Catania
Dolores Cantina admitted to using Ozempic to slim down in time for the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 13 reunion taping.
“I wasn’t going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon,” she told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” on April 4, 2023.
When the host asked about the side effects, Catania replied, “Just not hungry.”
Jennifer Fessler
“RHONJ” newbie Jennifer Fessler all but confirmed she used a variation of Ozempic to help her drop some pounds.
“I did lose a lot of weight. I took peptides, and I don’t know if you’ve heard of medications associated with [peptides] that help people lose weight,” she said on “WWHL” on March 21, 2023.
Cohen then flat-out asked Fessler whether she was on Ozempic, to which she coyly replied, “You said it, I didn’t. But … whatever works, here I am.”
Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi
Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi revealed she lost more than 10 pounds on the drug — and even taught her fans how to inject themselves.
“I am on the weight-loss shots, honey, OK,” the “Shahs of Sunset” alum said in an Instagram video on Feb. 28, 2023. “I’m just not going to lie about it because I always keep it real about what is fake.”
Gharachedaghi explained that she experienced health issues in 2022 that made her gain some weight, which she had a “very, very, very hard time getting rid of.”

After showing her Instagram followers how to do their own injections, the former Bravolebrity shaded celebs who denied using Ozempic or any of its alternatives.
“We know who you are,” she said. “We see how skinny y’all are getting. It’s not rocket science. Just saying.”
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea Handler claimed she didn’t know she used to be on Ozempic until a friend, who was also on the weight-loss drug, told her.
“I came back from a vacation, and I injected myself with it. I went to lunch with a girlfriend a few days later, and she was like, ‘I’m not really eating anything. I’m so nauseous. I’m on Ozempic,’” she recalled on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Jan. 25, 2023.
“I was like, ‘I’m kind of nauseous, too.’ But I had just come back from Spain and was jet-lagged. I had been there for a month. White privilege.”
After Handler told her friend that she was “on semaglutide,” her pal confirmed that was the generic version of Ozempic.
The comedian later admitted that she was no longer taking the diabetes medication.
“I’m not on it anymore,” she clarified. “I’m an irresponsible drug user, but I’m not gonna take a diabetic drug. I tried it, and I’m not gonna do that. That’s not for me. That’s not right for me.”
Remi Bader
Remi Bader confessed she was on Ozempic before it went viral on TikTok.
The influencer said she was prescribed the drug because she was pre-diabetic and insulin-resistant and gaining weight. However, when she stopped taking it, she “gained double the weight back.”
“I saw a doctor, and they were like, ‘It’s 100 percent because you went on Ozempic,’” she said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast on Jan. 12, 2023.
“It was making me think I wasn’t hungry for so long,” the TikTok star added. “I lost some weight. I didn’t want to be obsessed with being on it long-term. I was like, ‘I bet the second I [get] off, I’m going to [be] starving again.’
“I did, and my bingeing got so much worse. So, then I kind of blamed Ozempic.”
Elon Musk
Elon Musk admitted to using Wegovy, an injection used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity and Type II diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
When a fan asked “What’s your secret?” and complimented his “ripped” physique, the billionaire tweeted on Oct. 1, 2022, “Fasting” and “Wegovy.”
