Kelly Osbourne says she has 'never taken Ozempic' but voices support for weight loss drug users

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kelly Osbourne has cleared her stance regarding the usage of Ozempic in her weight loss journey.

While speaking to People about Osbourne Media House and 'The Osbournes' podcast, the 39-year-old confessed that while her mother Sharon Osbourne has used the drug, she has opted to stay out of it.

“I just have to clarify, I've never taken Ozempic. I don't know what Ozempic does to you other than what I saw it do to my mom,” she said. “I think that it is the miracle drug in the right hands.”

Ozempic is one of the brand names for semaglutide also known as Wegovy and has been a major topic of concern in Hollywood for over a year.

“The pros outweigh the cons, and if you really do research, the kind of medication and what it can do for you cognitively and what it does for the rest of your body, like I said, it's a miracle drug,” the mother of one said.

Kelly further went on to say that she fails to understand why people are so quick to criticize those who do opt to utilize the drug for weight loss.

“For some reason, society is trying to paint it out to be a bad thing. And I don't understand why,” she said. “If you need to lose some weight, who cares how you do it, as long as you're doing it in a healthy way.”

Kelly Osbourne did take 'peptides' and 'vitamins' to shed weight

Although Kelly has never used Ozempic in particular, the model and fashion designer admitted to consuming different “peptides” and “vitamins” while on her own weight loss journey.

Peptides are short-chain amino acids, and according to Ania Jastreboff, MD, PhD, who is an obesity medicine physician scientist at Yale University, the peptide semaglutide and other drugs in the same class are "nutrient-stimulated, hormone-based medications."

Sharon Osbourne previously opened up on Ozempic usage 

'The Talk UK' host previously credited the type 2 diabetes drug for weighing below 100 lbs while speaking to Daily Mail last year.

“I’m too gaunt, and I can’t put any weight on. I want to because I feel I’m too skinny. I’m under 100 lbs, and I don’t want to be,” she told the outlet. “Be careful what you wish for.”

“I started on Ozempic last December and I’ve been off it for a while now, but my warning is don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy,” she said.

“You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous. I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42 lbs. and I can’t afford to lose any more,” she expressed her concern.
