Is Ozempic the Weight Loss Secret of the Kardashians? Fans Speculate Over Famous Family's Use of the Drug.
The Kardashian-Jenner family is known for sharing their health and fitness routines with their millions of fans. However, rumors have been circulating that the reality TV stars are taking a popular weight loss drug called Ozempic, which is typically used to help adults with type 2 diabetes.
Ozempic is a prescription medication that contains semaglutide, which works with the brain to reduce cravings and regulate how the body stores fat and uses sugar. Fans began to speculate in May 2023 that Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, was taking Ozempic after she posted an Instagram photo of herself wearing an all-cream outfit that showcased her toned arms and slim waist.
While her youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, commented that her mother looked “pretty,” many comments expressed concern that someone like Kris, who isn't a diabetic, is taking a medication that others "really need." Khloé Kardashian has also faced accusations of taking weight loss drugs in the past, but she has firmly denied these rumors, explaining that she works out five days a week at 6 a.m. to maintain her fitness level.
Kim Kardashian, who has been rumored to use Ozempic, attributes her physique to a steady workout routine and consistent diet. She famously lost 16 lbs. in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic Bob Mackie dress for the 2022 Met Gala. Criticized for her methods, Kim argued that she had not done anything unhealthy and pointed out that famous actors like Christian Bale and Renée Zellweger have also gone to extremes for their roles.
