Bravo (2)previous Kyle Richards squashed rumors that she was using Ozempic to lose weight, a fellow Housewife Melissa Gorga can understand speculation.
“I’m not going to lie, when I first saw him, I was like, ‘Oh he took that thing,'” The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 43, said on Friday, January 26, appearing on the “Jeff Lewis Live” SiriusXM radio show. “And then, when he [denied it]I was like, ‘Oh, OK, perhaps not.’ You know, I don’t know. I didn’t even text and ask.”
Richards, 54, was criticized earlier this month after sharing a bikini ab selfie. After the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality flaunted her weight loss progress, social media users hurled accusations that she had used Ozempic to drop pounds. (According to the US Food and Drug Administration, Ozempic is a drug commonly used for chronic weight management in obese or overweight adults with weight-related conditions, including high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.)
Richards quickly shut down the speculation. “I don’t take Ozempic. Don’t have it,” he wrote in an Instagram comment on January 16, responding to a social media user. “I have never tried Ozempic and this is not from plastic surgery. I had a breast reduction in May [2022]. I am honest about what I do. But if giving plastic surgery credit makes you feel better then pop off your sister 😘.”
The California native – who shares three daughters with her husband Mauricio Umansky and Farrah’s eldest daughter with her ex-partner Guraish Aldjufrie – it was revealed one week later that he had gained weight after his three-week winter getaway in Europe. When Richards returned home, he changed his diet to eliminate sugar, carbohydrates and alcohol.
“I’ve lost the weight I wanted [and] I’m not trying to lose anymore,” he said Halloween Ends The actress said during the January 19 session of Amazon Live, that she had felt “so good” in her new Wellness kick. “I, of course, will have a birthday cake or some pasta…once in a blue moon. I don’t follow a keto diet. Basically, I eat protein, vegetables, fruit and carbs once in a while. But I always eat fruits and vegetables and I really like cereal.
In addition to eating healthy, Richards also maintains her figure with a variety of high-impact fitness exercises.
“The training routine, I rock it – I do different things every day,” he said during an appearance on Amazon Live. “I do Peloton, a very long ab routine. I do weights now. I always do light weights, but now I’ve increased the weights I lift. Then I’ll run, outside or – depending on the weather – I’ll run on the treadmill .
Richards’ new health routine has impressed Gorga, who gushed on Thursday that she’s “looking good.”
