Kyle Richards Responds to Claims That She Used Ozempic for Weight Loss

Kyle Richards is setting the record straight after numerous social media users accused her of taking Ozempic for weight loss.

On January 16, Page Six shared an Instagram post about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member’s Instagram Story photo from the day prior, in which she showed off her toned abs in a teeny black bikini. Several people commented on the post, accusing Kyle of taking the prescription medication, which is intended to treat type 2 diabetes but has recently made headlines for its off-label use as a weight-loss drug.

Kyle was quick to shut down the claims in a comment on the post. “I am NOT taking Ozempic,” she wrote to one person. “Never have.” She also responded to someone accusing her of recent plastic surgery. “I have never tried [O]zempic and this is not from plastic surgery,” she wrote. “I did have a breast reduction in May. I’m honest about what I do. But if giving plastic surgery the credit makes you feel better then pop off sister.”

Earlier this month, Kyle shared her plans to ramp up her exercise regimen. “One of my goals for 2023 is to take my fitness to the next level,” she wrote, noting that her home gym is “where you can find [her] for the foreseeable future.”
