Hollywood Stars Who Have Admitted to Using Ozempic for Weight Loss

Plenty of celebrities have discussed weight loss drugs in the last couple of years, but only a smaller group has clearly said they tried Ozempic or semaglutide specifically. Below are the names who have publicly acknowledged using it and shared details about how it fit into their routines, why they started, and how long they stayed on it.

Each entry explains exactly what they revealed in interviews or on their own platforms. You will also find the practical takeaways they mentioned, like dosage schedules, side effects they felt, and what they changed in their diets and workouts while using the medication.

Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer has said she used Ozempic and later stopped after dealing with side effects that interfered with her daily life. She explained that the medication reduced her appetite quickly and that the change showed up on camera before she felt ready to discuss it publicly.

She also talked about how she adjusted her nutrition and sleep once she got off the drug. According to her, the decision to stop was based on how she felt and not on a set goal weight, and she emphasized that anyone considering it should work closely with a doctor.

Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Handler said she was prescribed semaglutide and did not initially realize it was Ozempic because her doctor used the drug name rather than the brand she had heard in the news. After learning more about it, she decided to stop and focused on other approaches.

She shared that the injections were weekly and that she noticed appetite changes right away. She also mentioned ramping up strength training and higher protein meals after discontinuing the drug so she could maintain energy without relying on medication.

Tracy Morgan

Tracy Morgan has openly said he takes Ozempic and described a consistent weekly shot schedule. He credited the medication with curbing cravings and making it easier to keep portions under control.

He also mentioned how he pairs the medication with a set gym routine that includes cardio and machines. He has emphasized that his doctor monitors him and that he still follows a regular meal plan to keep his progress steady.

Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne said she took Ozempic, lost more weight than she expected, and then chose to stop. She has talked about side effects such as nausea and reduced appetite that made it hard to eat regular meals.

She explained that she reintroduced calories slowly after coming off the drug and focused on balanced meals to regain strength. She also highlighted the importance of medical supervision, especially for timing and dosage, so that changes in appetite do not become extreme.

Dolores Catania

Dolores Catania has said she used Ozempic and spoke about it ahead of a reality show reunion. She described a straightforward weekly injection routine and said the medication helped stabilize her hunger cues during a busy filming schedule.

She added that she followed a simple plan with hydration, light meals before long shoots, and protein to maintain muscle. She also explained that she checked in with her doctor to track bloodwork and to keep the dose consistent with her goals.

Emily Simpson

Emily Simpson has acknowledged a short stint on Ozempic and said she used it briefly while increasing her workouts. She said the medication helped her get started but that she moved off it once she felt her training and food plan were in a good rhythm.

She laid out how she shifted to a higher protein diet and regular strength sessions to maintain progress. She also pointed out that she monitored side effects and kept the dose low since her goal was a temporary boost rather than a long program.

Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi

Golnesa Gharachedaghi has been candid about using Ozempic and even shared injection routines on social media. She described early side effects like nausea and constipation and said those eased after her body adjusted.

She encouraged hydration, fiber, and smaller meals when starting the medication. She also mentioned regular lab checks and said that logging food and symptoms helped her and her provider fine tune timing and dose.

Jennifer Fessler

Jennifer Fessler has said she tried Ozempic and discussed it alongside other cosmetic changes she made. She highlighted how the weekly shot curbed snacking and helped her focus on structured meals during a hectic filming calendar.

She also talked about the importance of medical guidance and checking in about potential side effects. She paired the drug with moderate walking, light resistance work, and a steady sleep routine so the results did not depend on the medication alone.

Amy Phillips

Amy Phillips has shared that she used Ozempic and explained that she approached it as one tool within a broader plan. She described a basic weekly schedule, early appetite changes, and the way she adjusted her grocery list to match lower hunger.

She also noted that she tracked water intake and added electrolytes when she felt low energy. Regular check ins with her clinician helped her watch for side effects and decide when to taper off rather than staying on the medication indefinitely.

Reza Farahan

Reza Farahan has said he used Ozempic and described measurable appetite control in the first month. He talked about checking in with a doctor for dose adjustments so the effects stayed consistent without being too strong.

He also pointed to practical habits that helped, like planning meals at home and setting a regular bedtime. He emphasized that tracking progress with photos and basic measurements made it easier to see changes beyond the number on a scale.

Lauren Manzo

Lauren Manzo has discussed trying Ozempic and said it provided a jump start while she set up a more permanent routine. She outlined how she divided meals into smaller portions and used simple batch cooking so the lower hunger did not lead to skipped nutrients.

She also said she kept an eye on side effects and paused dosing if symptoms felt too strong. Regular follow ups with her provider guided when to lower the dose and how to transition to maintenance without relying on the medication.
