Of course, the injection shot has been a hot topic in Hollywood circles lately. On social media, fans wondered why Real Housewives of Beverly the hills star Kyle Richards potentially taking medicine after he recently re-sculpted his body. Other celebrity names like Chelsea Handler and Elon Musk has been thrown out for alleged use, too.
For McCain, Ozempic’s comments came shortly after she gave birth to her second child. last month, John McCainbeloved son received a daughter Clover to the world. He and your wife Ben Domenech – which also shows a 2-year-old daughter Liberty – busy and focused on raising the baby. And Meghan also focused on losing the baby weight … but not with the help of Ozempic.
The longtime media personality began his work by writing:
“I just had my baby four weeks ago, and you wouldn’t believe what I heard. Well, I asked all the usual questions: Did he sleep? Did I sleep? The answer – obviously – was ‘no.’ But then, I hit this: ‘Are you going to Ozempic?’ excuse me? … In case you didn’t know, there’s a craze sweeping the nation: a new ‘miracle’ drug. One injection, once a week, for $1,000 a pop, and you’ll just drop a pound.
But the proud mother will not stop. And he is very fast very clearly they don’t want to take Ozempic for any reason!
In fact, she mentioned the three celebrities mentioned above — Handler, Musk, and Richards — by NAME in her criticism of her recent weight loss:
“Chelsea Handler has publicly coped for getting ‘shot’ but claims she didn’t realize she was in. Elon Musk says he used it. Kyle Richards, from Real Housewives fame, who recently flaunted newly appeared abs has refused to take it. But reality TV star Jackie Goldschneider claims ‘many’ cast members are her friends. Ozempic is also seen as the hottest thing in the media industry. So many of the men and women you see on TV every day are rumored to be using these drugs.
Well…
For Meghan, her concerns are growing rapidly as more entertainment professionals admit to taking pictures. According to his op-ed notes, almost countless friends, acquaintances, and industry connections have mentioned taking shots:
“Now, I know some people who legitimately struggle with obesity and need Ozempic. But I’m not one of them. That’s why I’m so surprised that so many people, from ordinary friends to industry acquaintances, have taken me. I was told that ‘everyone do it,’ as if the case was really tough. I heard ‘just take a shot,’ as it’s become known in shorthand. I was even offered a black market freebie by someone who had ‘extra photos at home.'”
At Bad republic The author then draws a line in the sand. For the rest of her life, Meghan wrote, she would “refuse” to take Ozempic.
Calling her refusal to be part of the weight loss fad a “moral issue,” she wrote:
“Well, let me tell you one thing clearly. I didn’t take it. I refused. There is a clear moral issue here. It’s hard to take medicine because swimsuit season is right around the corner, while others need it to survive. Our culture has made incredible strides in accepting body types over the past few decades. And this Ozempic celebration threatens everything. I’m realistic about how long it will take to get back to normal after baby. So, don’t rush!”
McCain wrapped it up in a flourish, too.

“I have a responsibility to set an example for my children, who will face the same beauty standards. The world will become more challenging as social media penetrates deeper into the American mind. This is not the world I want for them and it is not the world I want for myself . … For Ozempic, I’d rather have a few extra pounds than take medicine. There is no price that is easy to achieve.
