Nikki Glaser defends Ozempic use, slams 'thin people' for opposing it: 'They are so mad'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nikki Glaser has spoken out in favor of using Ozempic for weight loss as she pushed back against criticism.

Glaser addressed the stigma surrounding it and accused certain groups of fueling negative perceptions.

Nikki Glaser says 'shame' of using Ozempic is coming from 'thin people'

Ozempic, a drug primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, has gained popularity as a weight-loss aid, sparking debates on ethics, accessibility, and societal attitudes toward body image.

On 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', Glaser made her stance clear.

"Oh, I love it, I love. I’m like, do it, do it. I have no judgment. If you want to do Ozempic, hell yeah, girl," she said.

She also called for more transparency, stating, "I want people to feel more comfortable talking about doing it because I feel like there’s, like, this shame—and the shame is only from thin people who want you to stay fat. Like that's really where it's coming from."

Nikki Glaser calls out critics, says 'they are so mad that you're getting thin now'

Nikki Glaser went on to address what she believes is the real motivation behind much of the criticism.

"They are so mad that you're getting thin now because that's all they have, right? They are so mad, but they can't say it," she continued.

She said, "'They just go, ‘You’re stealing medicine from diabetics who need it.’ Like anyone’s ever cared about someone with diabetes who doesn’t have it."

Glaser added, "It's suddenly all these thin, white women are like 'diabetics need their meds.’ I think you’re upset that Kathy Bates has a thigh gap. That’s more what it could be about, I think," she said, according to TMZ noted.
