Oprah Winfrey & 17 Other Stars Who've Admitted to Using Ozempic or Similar Weight Loss Drugs

Oprah Winfrey - ADMTITED to using a weight loss drug like Ozempic

“I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing. 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. I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself,” she said, after previously calling it “the easy way out.”

Oprah would not name the drug she uses, though popular ones include Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

“I know everybody thought I was on it, but I worked so damn hard. I know that if I’m not also working out and vigilant about all the other things, it doesn’t work for me,” she said.

She later announced plans to give up her spot on the WeightWatchers company board after nearly a decade in the position. She revealed what she’d be doing with her stocks and issued a statement about the decision.

Following her exit from the board, Oprah announced an hour-long ABC primetime special about weight loss drugs, called An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution, which will air on ABC on Monday, March 18 and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.

Claudia Oshry - HAS taken Ozempic, but came off the drug

The comedian revealed she has stopped using Ozempic and there’s one side effect she’s facing now that she’s off the medication.

The podcast host and Girl With No Job content creator previously revealed she had been using the type 2 diabetes medication. After going off the med, Claudia shared: “I’m so hungry all the mother-f-cking time and I’m always looking for good treats cause I’m still trying to lose weight but on my own. I’m always looking for snacks and things to fill me up.”

“What are we eating to stay full? I cannot stay full, it’s impossible. I just had a 12 oz. steak and I’m starving so I’m eating popcorn. How are we staying full?” she added.
