The Real Housewives of New York‘s Bethenny Frankel Addressing the “rampant” use of Ozempic for weight loss in certain “communities”, calling it “scary” and predicting a “s**t show” in the future.
Recently, several ‘Real Housewives’ have been accused of using the drug, including Bethenny’s friend. Kyle Richardswho denied the allegations on several occasions. Dolores Cataniaof The Real Housewives of New Jerseyadmitted to using medication, and apparently suggested that many colleagues take it as well.
In an Instagram video on April 4, Bethenny talked about using Ozempic for weight loss.
He said that certain stars “recognize,” while others “don’t.”
He suggested that the use of Ozempic in such a way is a “shortcut,” and that the trend is “scary” because people with “body dysmorphia” and “eating disorders” will take the drug. He also heard that in certain “communities” the use was “rampant” and “crazy”.
The star said that some people won’t “admit” to taking it, because they want it to look like the weight loss was achieved through “blood, sweat and tears.”
Bethenny said she’s heard that the drug can alter moods, and affect people’s personalities.
The mothers explained that they knew people who suddenly became irrational, and that person might want the medicine.
“It’s going to be a great show,” he said, and discussed the diet drugs that were once popular in the past. “This Ozempic thing is going to be the king of the tilt.”
In the caption of her post, Bethenny wrote: “The gap for those who avoid the recognition of Ozempic is that many celebrities are actually on Mounjaro, a different drug, and more new drugs are coming. If someone is struggling with obesity and working with a doctor is one thing (and this is all new in this application) but a rich country club in the rich cul de sac of America, buying this online and in a Mexican pharmacy is another thing.
He went on to say, “Having lived in a world with Ma Huang and Fen-Phen phenomena and then dying, I know this. No one gets out without paying the bill. How do people know the long-term consequences? Medicines used for alternative functions seem a bit scary with the long term unknown.
