20 Stars Who've Admitted to Using Ozempic or Similar Weight Loss Drugs

Whoopi Goldberg - HAS USED MOUNJARO

The 68-year-old co-host of The View revealed she used weight-loss drug Mounjaro to help her lose weight after weighing in at nearly 300 pounds in late 2021.

“I will tell you, I weighed almost 300 pounds when I made Till, and I had taken all those steroids, I was on all this stuff, and one of the things that’s helped me drop the weight is the Mounjaro –– that’s what I use,” she said on The View.

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

“You have to take responsibility for yourself and see what’s going on with your body, and there’s nothing wrong [with taking weight loss drugs]. Stuff happens, you hit a certain age and everything falls to the ground, you know you just pick it up put it over the back and keep it moving,” she added.

Sunny Hostin - HAS USED MOUNJARO

“I love to cook, and I found out I love to eat, and I was horrified by the fact I would have to come out on air, I was, and so I also took Mounjaro,” she said on The View.

“There is shame when you’ve gained weight, and I have never experienced that kinda shame before,” she shared.

She added that while she “wasn’t clinically obese,” she was “horrified” when she discovered her cholesterol was 200, which put her into the category of a “high” level.

“I used Mounjaro, and my cholesterol is 140. Now, I feel better, I think I look better, and that’s what this is about for people,” she concluded.

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.
