Of course, that injectable shot has been a scorching subject in Hollywood circles recently. On social media, followers have puzzled whether or not Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is doubtlessly taking the drug after she not too long ago re-sculpted her physique.

She and husband Ben Domenech — who additionally share 2-year-old daughter Liberty — are busy and centered on elevating the toddler. And Meghan is additionally centered on shedding the infant weight… however NOT with the assistance of Ozempic.
The longtime media character kicked off her piece by writing:
“I just had a baby four weeks ago, and you wouldn’t believe what I’m hearing. Yes, I’m fielding all the usual questions: Is she sleeping? Am I sleeping? The answer — obviously — is ‘no.’ But then, I get hit with this: ‘Are you going on Ozempic?’ Excuse me? … In case you’re unaware, there is a craze sweeping the nation: a new ‘miracle’ drug. One injection, once a week, for a cool $1,000 a pop, and you can just melt the pounds away.”
The proud mother wasn’t going to cease there, although. And she in a short time made it very clear she doesn’t wish to take Ozempic for any cause in any respect!
In reality, she known as out these aforementioned three celebs — Handler, Musk, and Richards — by NAME in her criticism of the brand new weight reduction catch-all:
“Chelsea Handler has publicly copped to taking ‘the shot’ but claims she didn’t realize she was on it. Elon Musk says he uses it. Kyle Richards, of Real Housewives fame, who recently flaunted newly emerged abs has denied taking it. But fellow reality TV star Jackie Goldschneider claimed ‘a lot’ of her fellow cast members are on it. Ozempic also seems to be 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 the drug.”
Yikes…
For Meghan, her concern is rising quick as extra leisure execs admit to taking the shot. According to her op-ed notes, nearly-countless buddies, acquaintances, and trade connections have talked about taking the shot:
“Now, I understand some people legitimately struggle with obesity and need Ozempic. But I am not one of those people. Which is why I have been really astonished by how many, from casual friends to industry acquaintances, have brought it up with me. I’m told ‘everyone is doing it,’ as if that was ever a compelling case. I hear ‘just take the shot,’ as it has become known in shorthand. I was even offered a black-market freebie by someone with ‘extra shots at home.’”
The Bad Republican writer then drew a line within the sand. For the remainder of her life, Meghan wrote, she is going to “refuse” to take Ozempic.
Citing her refusal to be a part of the load loss fad as a “moral issue,” she wrote:
“Well, let me make one thing very clear. I’m not taking it. I refuse. There’s a clear moral issue here. It’s hard to take a drug because swimsuit season is around the corner, while others need it to stay alive. Our culture has made incredible strides towards body-type acceptance over the past few decades. And this celebration of Ozempic threatens all of that. I am realistic about how long it takes to have your body feel normal again post-baby. So, don’t rush me!”
McCain wrapped issues up in a flourish, too.

“I have a responsibility to set an example for my daughters, who will one day face the same beauty standards. Their world will only be more challenging as social media seeps more deeply into the American mind. This is not the world I want for them and not the world I want for myself. … As for Ozempic, I would rather have a few extra pounds than shoot myself up with medicine. There ain’t nothing worth having that is easy to get. And that goes for my health and the health of my girls.”
