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.

Emily Simpson is opening up about her recent weight loss.

“I don’t know what happened. I think I just went for four months hard when we were filming and I ate too much, drank too much, and just didn’t get enough sleep, didn’t exercise,” Emily admitted.

Emily said she became “really depressed” because she knew she had “gained weight,” so she went to a doctor who said that she was pre-diabetic and suggested she try Ozempic.

“So I did. I did that in December,” Emily said. “For one month and you know, that was a great kickstart for me.”

Emily explained that Ozempic helped her kick her bad habits of “grazing” and “not really paying attention” to what she was eating. After losing about seven pounds on the drug, she decided to stop taking it because it left her feeling exhausted.

“I didn’t like the way it made me feel lethargic and it made me just not have a lot of energy, which was hard with three little kids, but it does make you feel full and it does make you, for me, it was like a refresh,” Emily said.

In January, Emily had liposuction on her arms – which she says have “always bothered” her – and underwent a breast reduction.

“Just the surgery alone was just, I felt like it was just a huge difference in my overall look just to have the thinner arms and just the smaller chest,” Emily said, “and I was so happy with the surgery, and I have so much muscle underneath that when he did the liposuction, my arms were just jacked.”

After trying Ozempic and undergoing the procedures, Emily decided to completely change her diet and focused on consuming more protein, and she now says she’s the healthiest she’s ever been.

“I don’t want to be detrimental to myself. I don’t want to say negative things about myself. I have a daughter. There’s women out there. You know?” Emily shared. “I just think it’s important that I embrace who I was at that time and now I’ve gotten healthier. I feel better about myself, but I still think I was hot.”

Emily is the latest star to open up about using Ozempic for weight loss.
