The stars ofThe Real Housewives of New Jerseyare a lot of things and obsessed with the way they look is at the top of the list. So when Ozempic, a drug used to help those who struggle with insulin retention, started to take over the rich and famous as the hot new weight-loss drug, the women of the show latched on to it.Dolores CataniaandMargaret Josephshave talked about using Ozempic and there arerumors thatTeresa GiudiceandJennifer Aydinalso use the drug. A friend of the show,Jenn Fessler,also talked about her Ozempic use so it was only amatter of time beforeMelissa Gorgawas also asked about the drug.
While onSherri Shepherd’s talk showSherri, Gorga was talking to Shepherdwith her husband,Joe Gorga, to promote thenew season ofThe Real Housewives of New Jersey. During the episode, Shepherd brought up when Catania and Josephs were onSherriand were talking about their own weight loss through Ozempic. The conversation was light with Shepherd and Gorga laughing about how Catania and Josephs talk about their use of Ozempic but Gorga was clear that her body was not a result of the drug meant for diabetes patients.
“I think I’m the only one on the cast who does not take Ozempic," Gorga said when Shepherd asked if she was also taking Ozempic. Gorga laughed though when she said it, not shaming her fellow housewives. But she did clarify what she does to keep her figure. “I work out really, really hard.To each their own for everything. But no, I don’t take it.” Gorga saying she’s probably the only one not taking it paints a bleak picture.
Ozempic Wasn’t Designed To Be a Weight Loss Drug
People like Catania, Fessler, and Josephs are making Ozempic hard to get for people who actually need it. The drug is not cheap, so many people with diabetes or who are insulin-resistant cannot afford the medication because the rich are buying it to lose weight quickly. Instead of trying other methods of weight loss (even if they don’t need to lose weight), some celebrities want the quick fix that Ozempic seems to be at the moment. Thankfully, Gorga isn’t participating in the craze.
