Ozempic is a once-weekly injectable medication formulated to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar.

The medication is also known for being a solution to weight loss, which some celebrities have used for that reason, and that reason alone.

Despite Ozempic being a growing weight loss trend, a plastic surgeon confirmed to Us Weekly in March 2023 that it was never meant for people who are near their ideal weight, and that “it’s not even approved by the FDA for casual weight loss.”

Despite that, some celebrities have and still take Ozempic for weight loss. Others have spoken out when accused of taking the drug. With that in mind, we’re looking at celebrities who’ve denied and admitted to taking Ozempic.

Jackie Goldschneider is sharing her thoughts on Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Dolores Catania using the drug Mounjaro to lose weight.

During an appearance on WWHL back in April, Dolores, 52, admitted to using the injectable drug similar to Ozempic to lose weight.

“I wasn’t going to come to [the RHONJ] reunion looking bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon,” Dolores said at the time.

Jackie, 46, who has been very open about her struggles with anorexia over the years and recently said that she was “horrified” by people using drugs to lose weight.

During part two of the RHONJ season 13 reunion on Tuesday (June 6), Jackie shared her opinion on Dolores using the weight loss drug.

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want to lose weight. I mean, I know more than anyone how addictive it is to want to lose weight,” Jackie said. “I think the problem is gonna be one day people have to go off of it. And then the studies show that you gain all the way back pretty quickly.”

She went on to say that she’s concerned about what people might do to lose weight if and when the medication stops working.

“You’re going to have all these people who are addicted to being thin, who suddenly are saying, ‘Oh, my God, what do I do? How do I get back to being thin?’” Jackie added. “And that’s where dangerous habits are going to come in and that is what scares me.”

Shortly after Dolores‘ appearance on WWHL, Andy Cohen responded to backlash for asking guests if they’re on Ozempic.

Things are getting nasty in New Jersey!

As the women all fight with each other, Teresa calls Margaret a “devil,” but then Margaret fires back that Teresa is a “criminal.” Teresa then warns Margaret to “sleep with one eye open.”

While discussing future engagement possibilities, Dolores reveals that her boyfriend Paul Connell isn’t legally divorced yet.

Melissa later brings up that Teresa‘s husband Louie Ruelas “needs to defend himself by having a folder on all of us,” referring to Louie saying he hired a private investigator to get information on everyone on the show.

Later, Teresa says she “can’t wait to never f–king look at” Melissa again, who hits back at Teresa asking, “Oh why, where are you going?” Teresa then fires back, “You’re leaving.”

Rachel also accuses Louie of reaching out her adopted son’s birth mother to stir up drama, and Margaret accuses Louie of being behind her son getting “threatened at work.”

While Teresa denies Margaret‘s accusations, Melissa pulls out some receipts.

Andy also screams at Teresa to stop talking so that Joe Gorga can finally speak.

The trailer then ends with an emotional Teresa storming off set.

In a recent interview, Teresa addressed her future on the show.

Part one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion airs on Tuesday, May 30 at 9pm ET on Bravo.

Dolores Catania is opening up about her weight loss.

On Tuesday night (April 4), the 52-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star appeared on Watch What Happens Live where host Andy Cohen pointed out that she “looks thin.”

“Ozempy?” Andy, 54, cautiously asked, referring to the FDA-approved medication intended for people with type 2 diabetes, but has become popular among celebrities for its appetite-regulating effects.

“Yeah,” Dolores said with a laugh.

“What housewife isn’t on Ozempic?” Andy then asked, while fellow guest Real Housewives of Miami star Marysol Patton raised her hand to say she’s not taking the drug.

“Not one… I wasn’t going to come to [the] reunion looking bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon,” Dolores explained.

When Andy asked if she’s experienced any side effects from using Ozempic, Dolores said, “No, just not hungry.”

During the WWHL After Show, Dolores clarified that she is “actually [taking] Mounjaro,” which is “another part” of the Ozempic branch.

Dolores also said that she prides herself on “tell[ing] the truth” about her weight loss, adding, “The reunion is in two weeks. I do have a trainer.”

For those unaware, the use of Ozempic for weight loss has caused a shortage that has resulted in a shortage for diabetes patients who actually need the medication.

Just recently, one of Dolores‘ RHONJ co-stars slammed stars for using Ozempic for weight loss.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is coming back in 2023.

The Bravo reality TV series is set to return on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 9 p.m. ET with a 75-minute premiere episode.

“We haven’t really spoken. I know what I signed up for and when something in your life changes, it’s only fair to everyone to share it with them, you know?” she told the outlet. “And I’ve always been very honest with everything — from plastic surgery to my relationship with [my ex-husband] Frank and my relationship with the girls.”

The reality star added that it was “really hard” to handle a breakup in the middle of filming, as she’s not an “outwardly emotional person.”

“I internalize things. I go off in a room, I hide alone until I’m over it. It’s only recently that I’ve shared my feelings with girlfriends,” she explained. “This is new to me in the past seven years of being on the show. That’s something that’s changed about me is being a girl’s girl.”

Dolores went on to say that while she and David may have ended things, there isn’t any bad blood between them.

“[It was] time to move on and it was not for any reason. I’m sure he has nothing bad to say about me. I have nothing bad to say about him, but it was just time,” she said.

She also discussed her new relationship with boyfriend Paul Connell. “I’m very, very happy. I don’t want to say too much about it because it’s new and you don’t know what is going to happen,” she shared. “That’s another thing that’s hard for me, wanting to feel, like, normal and posting a picture and just having fun. I’m getting shy. All I can say is [that] I’m very happy.”

The season 12 premiere of Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Bravo Tuesday, February 1, at 8 p.m. ET. See the latest trailer for the season here!
